You know that there are things you're currently doing in your business that aren't helping you, and in fact, are probably holding you back. There are a number of reasons for this:
- Fear
- Lack of knowledge
- Time
- Insert any other reason here
In this episode, I share with you 4 things (I gave you a bonus) that you're probably doing right now in your business but you shouldn't be.
I always try to stay away from should's and should nots, because there's no one size fits all when it comes to running a business. But what I'm sharing with you during this episode are the definite don'ts.
I remember when I started my business, and I’ve told the story before, I spent so much time behind the scenes doing things like creating programs and building a website that nobody visited.
But what I realised is that I was doing busy work and that instead of that, I should have been doing something else.
Here's what you'll learn in this episode:
- The specific activities that you should be focusing on in your business
- How these activities will help you
- Why comparing yourself to others is a dangerous distraction
- Why it's important to be visible

Before you give up and convince yourself that this whole business thing or whatever else it is that you’re trying to do isn’t working, stop what you're doing and listen to this episode all the way through.
This is based on Mistake no.7 in my book, Doing Too Little
Oftentimes in business, we compare our progress to that of others. We look at where they are and where we are and convince ourselves that we’re a failure for not achieving the level of success which they seem to have. But that’s not a fair comparison and not achieving what someone has is not evidence of a failure, it’s evidence that you have goals still to be achieved.
During this episode you'll learn:
- the 4 step process you can use to help you to assess if you are doing enough to achieve your goal, including the key questions to ask yourself
- the big lesson that I learned about why it’s important to do more to achieve your goals
- the difference between not doing enough and knowing when to give up
- what you can do to do more to achieve your goals without burning out

This episode is one of a series of previously recorded live videos that I presented on social media.
This is Mistake No.9 in my book, Discover 22 Of The Biggest Mistakes Most Business Owners Make: and learn what you can do to avoid them.
Most new business owners when they start their business focus on activities such as developing their social media presence, getting their logo designed and building their website. This isn't wrong it's just they aren't ready to take these actions because there is a fundamental element of their business development that they're missing. Without this missing element, you cannot set your business up for success.
If you don't focus on this element at the outset of your entrepreneurial journey, you'll find that you will have to go back to the beginning to build this element. So if you have to do it anyway, why not do it at the outset?
I also share the consequences to you of not having this fundamental element in place and what you can do to start building this element,

Over the course of the next few episodes, I’m going to be covering some of the biggest mistakes that can be made in business and share what you can do to avoid them.
This from my book Discover 22 of Biggest Mistakes that Most Business Owners Make: and learn what you can do to avoid them which is available on Amazon on Kindle and paperback at DISCOVER 22 OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES THAT MOST BUSINESS OWNERS MAKE: And what you can do to avoid them eBook : Roache, Lucille: Amazon.co.uk: Books.
This book is based on my own experience and the research that I carried out when I was starting out in my business. I wanted to share my experiences to help keep other people from making those same mistakes. When I talk about mistakes, I’m talking about things to avoid or things that you should have in your business as a fundamental part of your foundation.
So today’s mistake is mistake No.13 in my book and it’s all about not having a contingency plan.
Firstly what is a contingency plan? It’s a just in case plan that you have to protect you against a particular type of risk that may occur in your business. If you don’t have one you could face financial or reputational consequences.
Here are some examples which demonstrate when you would need to implement a contingency plan:
- Social media is a classic example. There was a time last year when IG and FB and WhatsApp went down. If social media is your only marketing channel to communicate with people what will you do if these channels go down?
- You sell T-shirts and you deliver them by Royal Mail- as part of your contingency plan you would set out what you would do in the event that you weren’t able to send things via Royal Mail because maybe there’s a strike
This is where it’s helpful to have some standard operating procedures for your business because it helps you to get a birdseye view of your business and identify the areas in which you need to create a contingency.
I also share a 3 step process for what you can do to create your own contingency plan in your business.
Some key things to understand about a contingency plan, you don’t have to know what the risk or the threat is to mitigate against it, your contingency just sets out what you would do if a scenario occurred. It’s about being proactive and not reactive.

Self-care is so vital to your role as a business owner but in my opinion, it’s not talked about enough. Everyone talks about how you should 10x your actions and go hard. And I’m all for working hard but there’s a person behind the business. You. And if you don’t look after yourself then how can your business thrive?
That’s why in this episode I’ve brought along Self-care coach Lexy Davies to share her best tips and strategies to help you to prioritise your self-care.
In this episode we discuss:
- What self-care is and 3 things you can to do prioritise your own self-care
- The key to embracing the next level of success in your business
- How to prioritise yourself without feeling guilty (because we’ve all been there)
- How to ensure that you fill your cup with the right tools so you can overcome challenges and build your resilience
Lexy also generously gifted listeners with a free eBook to help you to empower yourself, practice better self -care and start to prioritise yourself so that your business can thrive. You can download it here
Lexy shared so many gems so imagine how many juicy nuggets will be in her eBook.

If you enjoyed this episode, tell a friend and don't forget to subscribe and leave a review.
When it comes to navigating your business the biggest obstacle that you’ll face is yourself. And of the biggest obstacles is the limiting belief you have about yourself or your abilities.
A limiting belief is a belief that you cannot or should not do something. It can stop you from moving forward in your business and keep you stuck.
So how do you know if you’ve got a limiting belief and what do you do to overcome it? I've included a free worksheet to help you out which you can access here
In this episode, I’m going to walk you through:
- The clues to look out for that will help you to identify if you have a limiting belief. Because the reality is you may not even be consciously aware of the limiting beliefs that you have. We've all experienced a limiting belief at some point in our lives, but you may not have known to call it a limiting belief. Naming it is the first step.
- The key to overcoming your limiting belief, and why this is the most important step to take
- The 2 things you can do that will help you to challenge and then overcome your limiting beliefs so they no longer hold you back in your business

This episode is inspired by the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. I’m not an affiliate I’m just a fan. As I was reading the book I started thinking about the top habits that new business owners should adopt and I came up with 5. Are these the only habits? No, there are many more but this is a great place to start and if all you do is these things, you'll be on the path to building a successful business.
This isn’t going to be an episode where I tell you the tasks or the activities to do each day, although I will be making an episode about that. This is an episode about the daily habits that a new online-based business owner, who has been in business for less than 2 years or has been inactive in their business and is now ready to be more active, should carry out each day.
Habits are the daily things that you do each day, like unplugging the TV before you go to bed, putting on your slippers, or putting fresh water in the kettle each morning.
The right habits will help you to achieve your goals because those habits, when done right, will help you to attract clients, make money and create more freedom which will directly lead to achieving your goals.
In this episode I share:
- The difference between a habit and an activity
- How to start your day off to set yourself up for the rest of the day
- What you need to let go of to move forward in your business
- How to determine what your focus should be each day
- The one thing that you should do each and every day and why this is important

One of the things that I found difficult when I started my business was figuring out how to fit in running a business whilst also working a 9-5.
The question of how I find the time to do everything in my business is one that I get asked often. So I thought it would be useful to share my process. Now in the next few weeks, I’ll be working in my business full time but I thought it would be useful to share how I’ve balanced my 9-5 and my business to date, because it can be done, and you don't need to wake up at 4 am every day to do it.
The tips that I’m providing will help you if you’re looking to move into your business full time. If you have a side hustle and you have no intention of turning it into a full-time business, these tips may not be helpful to you, because you may not want to invest the time, but you'll still find some value in these tips.
Here’s what I cover in this podcast.
- What I did to calculate how much time I had available to work on my business
- What you need to do in order to form a habit that you'll stick to
- The things that I did to create more time in my day
- The activities that I focused on and why I chose to focus on these activities
- Tips for how you can manage your time and also run a business
I don't believe that there's a one size fits all when it comes to running your business and I also don't believe in burning yourself out. The tips that I've shared is what worked for me. Use what I've shared as inspiration but try to find out what works best for you.

Tell me if this sounds familiar? You settle down to power through your to-do list that has like 20 items on there, (by the way we need to have a conversation about the number of things on your to-do list) but instead of tackling your to-do list, you remember that cupboard that needs cleaning out, or that TV show you’ve been meaning to watch or that sandwich you want to make.
Procrastination is a real challenge. If you procrastinate over doing tasks, then as a solopreneur no one is left to complete them, which leads to a feeling of overwhelm, which leads to you questioning why you started your business in the first place. Sound familiar?
So how do you defeat your procrastination habits and find your motivation and love for your business? By implementing these simple strategies. Side note, just because they’re simple doesn’t mean they’re easy!

Time is your most valuable asset. You only have 24 hours in a day, right? Factor in work (if you’ve got a 9-5), running your business, family time, household tasks, exercising (I 100% need to do more of this) and relaxing, those hours soon get taken up.
While it may seem impossible, there are ways to make more time for you in your online business. They may take a little bit of extra time upfront but trust me, it’ll be worth it!
So I’m gonna share 5 things you can do to create more time in your business (some of them may be a little out of the box) but it really will help you.

Do you need a business plan when you start out in business? In my opinion yes, yes you do.
Running a business is like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle, which has thousands and thousands of pieces and no picture on the front of the box to help you to determine, how the puzzle is supposed to be put together or what it's supposed to be. Look what it's supposed to look like. And for me, that's a really great analogy of what it means to be a business owner, especially if you've never been in business before because you've got nothing to compare it to.
I believe that it's so fundamental for all new business owners to create a business plan for themselves because your business plan then becomes that picture of the jigsaw puzzle on the front of the box, which gives you that direction, which gives you that guidance so that you know, what your business should look like and you know how to put those pieces together.
There are two different types of plans. There's the business plan that you have when you start out your business, that's going to be more comprehensive. And I'm going to talk to you about that during this podcast and share with you the five things to include in that business plan. And then there's the business plan that you have when you are running your business and you are navigating your business on a daily basis. And that business plan is going to be shorter and it's going to be more focused on the specific goals that you want to achieve.
For this episode let's just focus on the business plan for startups. So if you've just started your business, this is the type of plan that I'm recommending that you have, and I'm covering five of the key things to include in your plan. And although there are many more things to include in your plan, I'm including what I believe are the top five most important things to include within your Business plan.
If you are in need of some support, because I get that, once you start to go through the process of completing your business plan, it may raise more questions for you. Then reach out to me.
I offer a consultation so you can have a consultation with me. It's no obligation. And if I think you're a great fit, but I'll talk to you about one of my coaching packages and with one of those coaching packages. I'll then work with you to create your business plan so that you can understand the key things that you need to focus on in your business.
