In this week's episode, we identify five common business mistakes that could be hindering the growth and enjoyment of your business. As an independent expert — whether you're a solopreneur, coach, speaker, or consultant — these insights might be just what you need to pivot from feeling stuck to building a profitable, fulfilling business that complements your lifestyle. From worrying about the 'how' before clarifying the 'what', to getting caught up in daily struggles and forgetting the long-term game, we'll explore practical strategies to overcome these hurdles. Plus, I'll share details on our upcoming webinar series and the Business Accelerator programme designed to offer you personalised support and accountability. Ready to redefine success and build a business you truly love? Let's get started! Key Takeaways: Mistake 1: Worrying About the How Before the What Focus on defining what you want your business to accomplish and why, before getting bogged down by the how. Mistake 2: Getting Caught Up in Today and Forgetting the Long Game Remember that building a sustainable business requires a long-term perspective; don't get discouraged by short-term challenges. Mistake 3: Copying Other People's Business Models Develop an intentional business model that aligns with your unique skills, values, and lifestyle. Mistake 4: Selling Yourself Short Value your expertise and don't be afraid to charge what you're worth. Mistake 5: Waiting for Perfect Clarity Before Taking Action Embrace imperfection and take action; clarity often comes through the process of doing.
