QFF 6+ years as a business success mentor, specializing in shifting mindsets. Now helping small-medium business owners bridge the Knowing-Doing gap; focusing on habits, efficiency, and mindsets. (Episode 289 - Rachael Downie)

In this week’s QFF episode, Michael interviews Rachael Downie. Rachael and Michael met each other four years ago at a National Australia Bank presentation where Rachael was the guest speaker. Rachael is based in Hobart, Australia. She was a teacher for fifteen years and her husband has run a family dairy farm for the past 20 years and has 4 children. Now she is a business success mentor who truly converts small business owners’ thinking into results.

The knowing-doing gap is the disconnect between knowledge and the implementation of the action. In the end, knowledge isn't always enough. She is helping small-medium business owners through strategies such as shifting mindsets to bridge the gap between what they know they need to be doing and actually doing it.

According to Rachael, it all boils down to mindset. “I truly believe closing the knowing-doing gap is about awareness. 95% of its mindset and 5% of its strategy.”, she said. She added when small-medium business owners triumph over that, there’ll be real changes in productivity, time, and profit.
