Find what works for you, not what works on Instagram.

 I have split up my working schedule a little differently this week.


On Monday and Wednesday I worked from home to get some big admin tasks done (I find it can be a struggle to be as productive inside the gym as I invariably end up chatting to members or analysing coaches sessions).


If your in the UK you'll know it's absolutely FREEZING.


So I decided to sit in bed with a coffee and my electric blanket on and nail some work from there and do you know what?


I got LOADS done.


Contrary to social media you don't need 2 hours of meditation, an ice bath, greens smoothie and whatever else to get some good work done (although there is a place for those things).


Find what works for you, not what your favourite influencer tells you is the right thing.

The 4 People a business owner needs in their life...

 'You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with' Now unless you have been living under a social media rock I'm certain you will have heard this statement over the last few years. Now while there are elements of truth (and I have built one of my businesses Elevate98 around having a group of like minded people) there is, as always, more context needed. I have went through phases constantly surrounded by people WAY ahead of me and while it can be a little inspiring it can also be a little deflating as it seems so far away. In my opinion business owners have 4 groups of people they need to spend time with: Heroes- Whether this is actual in person time at conferences or events or via social media like YouTube and Instagram it helps to have the people at the very top of the game as inspiration. Mentors- This is people ahead of you who share their wisdoms, lessons and insight into what it will take to get you to the next stage of growth. I now mentor a few peopl...

The trials and tribulations of doing your own thing.

 If you are anything like me your brain is a constant state of movement. This is the curse of the small business owner. One minute your having a groundbreaking idea for how you can improve your product and the next you're sitting in front of your partner and not taking in a word they are saying because your only thought is where payroll is coming from this month. I haven't been in the game too long (4/5 years) but I think I'm slowly coming to realise that the ups and downs are what make it fun. What if the point of our business is not about earning more money, more freedom or even to make our customers life better? What if it's to shine a light on your strengths and weaknesses as an individual? Over the years I've become very aware of a major contradiction in business. Your team is SO important and will dictate your success but as the owner if you have unresolved stuff going on or you aren't on your game it will majorly impact the business. Strange huh? Your bel...

The best CPD for ALL business owners...

 CPD. Continual Professional Development. Basically the continual learning and development of you as a business owner or person. I'm guessing if you are the type of person to read this blog then you show some kind of interest in continuing to learn and evolve. In my opinion this is one of the BEST bits of being a business owner, you are never 'done'. There is always something new to learn be it sales, marketing, delivery, leadership or tech. It has also never been easier to learn. Blogs, podcasts, courses, youtube, reading and more are all available online with a lot of them also being fairly inexpensive or free. So what is the 'best' CPD? There is obviously a lot you can learn that's industry specific but I think there is one thing that's valuable no matter what business you run. That's being a customer. Go and spend your money being a customer in someone else's business, particularly higher end establishments like restaurants, hotels, cafe's, g...
