Episode 6: Osmaan Sharif.

The background is bright orange and yellow sunbeam stripes radiating out from a headshot of Osman Sharif. Osmaan is a middle aged man with pale brown skin, black hair, brown eys and he’s smiling at the camera. He wears a black top. Janine Coombes, a middle-aged white woman with shoulder length dark blonde hair and stands to the left with her hands out as if to say ‘ta dah!’ She wears a white t-shirt with ‘good times’ on it, a green pleated skirt and a yellowy orange cardigan. The words read The Show (Off) with Janine Coombes and guest Osmaan Sharif.

Design Your Business Around You: Wealth Dynamics, values and flow with guest Osmaan Sharif

Is it possible that you’re not fully leaning into your strengths yet..?

On this week’s The Show (Off) I talk to Osmaan Sharif, the business owner’s coach, who helps established experts grow their business in a way that actually fits them.

It takes a very single minded (stubborn?) biz owner to ignore all the suggestions from well meaning people!

Not to mention seeing friends and competitors who are doing something different and being tempted to follow their lead…

…when where they’re going could lead you right off your path. 😖

Osmaan and I have both been there!

We share our own stories as well as some great examples of his clients who’ve re-engineered their businesses and made everything more ‘in flow’.

The result of not making the most of your skills, personality traits, and values is that you end up with a business that feels much harder work than it should do.

And in this episode we dig into what that looks like and what your options are.

We also talked about:

😬 Why business can feel painfully personal (and how to separate you from the results)

🥾 The danger of squeezing your feet into someone else’s shoes just because their strategy worked FOR THEM

😎 The different entrepreneurial “profiles” and how knowing yours changes everything

As Osmaan said:

“When you lean into who you really are, that’s when the magic happens.”

Which is basically the entire point of The Show (Off)!

Design Your Business Around You: Wealth Dynamics, Values & Entrepreneurial Flow (with Osmaan Sharif)

Welcome back! I’m Janine Coombes, and I’m hosting another episode of The Show (Off) with my guest Osmaan Sharif, the business owner’s coach.

Osmaan helps established experts grow in a way that fits YOU by cutting out the noise, simplifying your strategy and leaning into your entrepreneurial superpower. We talk about how business can feel personal, how results aren’t a reflection of worth, and why many founders struggle when they follow the “shoulds” instead of their natural strengths.

Osmaan explains how you can use Wealth Dynamics’ eight profiles (creator, star, supporter, deal maker, trader, accumulator, lord, mechanic) to design your business around you, and he shares client examples like Jenny who changed from running a drop shipping business to being a speaker and running group programmes after finding out her about her values and Wealth Dynamic profile.
