I always have a notebook beside me when I'm talking business with someone.

Partly because I do love a notebook 😆... but mainly because I'm listening.

And strangely, I'm not always listening for the obvious problem.

Someone might tell me they need more customers, their marketing isn't working, they're not making enough money, or they're working far too many hours.

I'll make notes.

I'll ask questions.

But often, I'm waiting for one little sentence.

And it's amazing how often it pops up somewhere in the middle of the conversation...one of those sentences is....

"Well, we've always done it like that."

👂👂 And THAT'S when my ears prick up.

Because why?
Why do you do it that way?
Does it still work?
Is it still profitable?
Does the customer actually want it?
Is there an easier way?
Or has nobody questioned it for the last five years?

Sometimes the biggest opportunities in a business aren't hidden in some complicated strategy.

They're sitting right there in the things you've stopped noticing because they've become
"just what we do."

That's one of the things I love about looking at someone else's business.

I don't have the history.

I don't have the emotional attachment.

And I don't know that something is supposed to be done a certain way.

So I can ask the seemingly daft question...

"Why?"

And sometimes that one little question opens up a whole new conversation.

So here's my Insight Sunday question for you:

👉 What's one thing in your business you do simply because
"we've always done it like that"?

Maybe it's worth getting the notebook out and questioning it. 😉🧡

WHAT IS YOUR DIARY REALLY COSTING YOU?

Does your diary look a bit like the BEFORE one?

You start at 8am because a client can only do early mornings.

Someone cancels last minute.

Another client asks to move their appointment by half an hour.

You've a random gap in the middle of the afternoon.

And somehow you're still working at 7pm because 'that's the only time another client can do'

Before you know it, you're working 8am–8pm, but you're deffo not being paid for 12 hours of work.

Sound familiar?

I work with a lot of appointment-based businesses, particularly therapists and practitioners, and the diary is often one of the first things we tackle.

One of the biggest frustrations I hear is:

"I'm working all the hours, but I'm still not earning what I want to earn."

And when we actually look at the diary, we can often see why.

❌ Gaps between appts
❌ Last-minute cancellations
❌ Lunch disappearing
❌ Working early mornings & evenings
❌ Empty slots that could have generated revenue
❌ No system for following up or rebooking clients

A busy diary isn't necessarily a profitable diary.

Now look at the AFTER diary.

Shorter working day.

Appointments grouped together.

Proper lunch break.

Time allocated for follow-up calls.

Cancellations dealt with quickly.

Clients rebooked.

And importantly ... more revenue from fewer hours at work.

In the simple example I've created here, the difference is £150 in ONE DAY.

Do that across several days every week and suddenly we're not talking about a few pounds,
we're potentially talking about hundreds or even thousands of pounds of lost revenue. (and lots of sleepless nights!🥱)

Sometimes growing your business isn't about finding loads more clients.

It's about getting much smarter with the clients, time & opportunities you already have.

So...

If I looked at your diary for next week, what would I diagnose? 👀

Full and profitable?

Or full of gaps, compromises & lost opportunities?

I'M LOOKING FOR 3 BUSINESS OWNERS...

Whose businesses should be doing better than they currently are.

You 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 have to be struggling.

You might actually be 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙮 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙮.

But somewhere in the back of your mind is that niggling thought...

“This business has more potential than I'm getting out of it.”

More customers. More profit. Better conversion. More repeat business. Better systems. More time. Or simply a clearer direction.

And sometimes the hardest thing is working out what's actually holding you back.

So I'm opening just 3 spaces to work personally with three business owners over the next 90 days.

We'll identify where you are now, where you want to get to and the changes that could make the biggest dpifference.

Then we'll get on and implement them.

Before that, I'm offering a complimentary 45-minute Business Potential Call.

No obligation. No generic sales pitch.

Just a proper conversation about your business and its potential.

If you're sitting there thinking:

“She's talking about me...”

Good. 😉
That means you woke up this morning thinking....
🤔 I'd really like my business to perform better.

Message me the word POTENTIAL and let's have a chat.

🗂️ Case Notes From the Business Clinic

🗂️CASE NOTE #006

𝙎𝙮𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙤𝙢

"If I want to earn more, I'll have to work more."

This business owner wanted to increase their income.

But there was a problem.

Their diary was already full.

So in their mind, the equation was simple:

𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 = 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘴 = 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴.

BUT, they didn't HAVE any more hours.

When we looked at the business, though, there were numerous other possibilities.

Pricing.
Packages.
Additional services.
Upselling.
Recurring revenue.
Changing what they sold rather than simply selling more of it.

Suddenly the conversation changed.

🩺 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙣𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙨

It wasn't a capacity problem.

It was a belief that income had to be attached to hours worked.

That's a particularly difficult belief to shake when you've spent years being paid for your time.

But there comes a point where working harder simply isn't a growth strategy.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙣
Started with a change of mindset and working on a different question

as the question wasn't:

"How can I fit more in?"

It was....

"How can my business earn more from what I'm already doing?"

Remember...
The symptom isn't always the diagnosis.

If you've a problem you're struggling to solve yourself, then book into

What if the answer isn't simply YES or NO?

A customer asks if you can squeeze them in at a time when you're already fully booked.

You could say yes and put yourself under pressure.

You could say no and potentially disappoint them.

But what if there's another question you could ask first?

"Is there a particular reason that time is important to you?"

Because their answer might change everything.

Perhaps it's a birthday, an anniversary, an important meeting, they're going away, they have family visiting… or there's simply something happening in their world that you knew nothing about.

And suddenly you're not just dealing with an appointment.

You're dealing with something that matters to that person.

Maybe you CAN move things around.

Maybe you CAN'T

BUT you could offer them something even better the following day.

Perhaps there's another little gesture you could make that says:

"I couldn't give you exactly what you asked for, but I listened and I wanted to help."

I think that's where some businesses really stand out.

Great customer service isn't always about saying yes.

And it certainly isn't about saying no as quickly as possible.

Sometimes it's simply about being curious enough to ask why.

Because when you understand what really matters to your customer, you have the opportunity to do something they weren't expecting.

And very often, it's the little unexpected things people remember most.

💭 Today's Thought…

Next time a customer asks for something you can't immediately accommodate, don't just think YES or NO.

Ask yourself:
"Why does this matter to them, and is there another way I could make them feel special?"

📣 HOW WELL KNOWN IS YOUR BUSINESS… REALLY?

Here’s a little challenge for you.

If you stopped 20 local people in the street, or telephoned 20 businesses you’re not currently supplying, and asked them these questions, what do you think the answers would 7be?

1️⃣ Do you recognise me?

2️⃣ Have you heard of [insert ONLY your business name]?

3️⃣ Do you know what I/we do?

And if they’re not aware of you, ask them one more question…

4️⃣ Where do you currently go for [insert your product/service] — and why do you choose them?

Now, this isn't about putting anyone on the spot or trying to sell to them.

It’s about market research.

Because sometimes we convince ourselves that “everyone knows us” simply because we’ve been in business for years, we post regularly on social media, we have lots of followers, or we’re well known within our own little business bubble.

But are we?

Your answers might tell you something VERY interesting.

Perhaps people have heard your business name but have absolutely no idea what you actually do.

Perhaps they know exactly what you do, but when they need that product or service, they think of somebody else first.

Or perhaps they’ve never heard of you at all.

And that isn't bad news.

That's useful information.

Because you can't fix a problem you don't know exists.

And question 4 could be the most valuable question of all.

Why ARE they buying from somebody else?

Convenience?
Recommendation?
Price?
Location?
Trust?
Customer service?
Because that business simply happens to be the first one they think of?

Now I know tge thought of picking up the phone or standing in the street is going to put many out of you comfort zone, so you won't do it.

But think about it,
✅️It's an hour of your time
✅️you're going to speak to 20 new people (maybe more) that could end up being customers.
✅️You're going to draw interest
✅️You're going to get the answers to why customers don't buy from you.
I'll let you in to a secret 🙊, they don't know you exist!!)

So it really is an important exercise especially if you'd like more customers (who doesn't??)

So pull on your big girl/boy pants and get some visability for your business.

💡 Your challenge: Ask 20 people.

Don't defend. Don't explain. Don't sell.

Just listen.

You might learn more about your marketing from those 20 conversations than you will from staring at your Facebook insights for the next month.

And then ask yourself…

👉 If I'm not the business they think of when they need what I sell… what am I going to do to change that?

What are you making harder than it needs to be?

We business owners can be VERY good at complicating things.

A new system for something that already works.

Seven steps where three would do.

Another app.
Another spreadsheet.
Another process.

And before we know it, we’ve created more work for ourselves!

So here’s a simple challenge for this week:

Find ONE thing in your business you could simplify.

Could you automate it?
Delegate it?
Create a template?
Stop doing it altogether?

Working smarter isn’t always about finding a clever new way to do something.

Sometimes it’s simply asking…

“Do I actually need to be doing this?” 🧡

What would happen if..... you stopped trying to do everything yourself?

When you start a business, you naturally become chief cook and bottle washer.

You sell.
You market.
You do the admin.
You answer the emails.
You sort the website.
You do the accounts.
You post on social media.
You solve every little problem.

And somewhere along the way, doing everything yourself can become a habit.

We tell ourselves:

"It's quicker if I just do it."
"Nobody will do it quite like me."
"I can't justify paying someone else."
"I'll delegate when the business gets bigger."

But here's the interesting bit...

Could doing everything yourself actually be the very thing that's stopping the business getting bigger?

Because every hour you spend doing something
that somebody,
or something else
could do is an hour you're not spending on the things that really need you.

Your ideas.
Your expertise.
Your customers.
Your relationships.
Your business development.

And getting help doesn't necessarily mean employing someone full-time.

It might be outsourcing a few hours, using technology, automating a task or simply accepting that you don't have to be the expert at everything.

So today's thought isn't

"What should I delegate?"

It's simply...

💭 If you stopped trying to do everything yourself, what could you finally make time for?
