Episode 70 – What If I Don’t Want To Go Back To The Office?
Last week I was googling, I don’t remember what exactly but it started with “What if I don’t want to…” and Google finished my sentence with “…go back to the office”.
“What if I don’t want to go back to the office?”
It’s a question people are asking in times when unprecedented numbers of people found themselves working from home. And while it’s not always a seamless transition, some of us are clearly loving it.
I know from my experience as a Business Coach it’s also a question that comes up – global pandemic or not.
After all, who does want to spend their life in a cubicle?
So what if you don’t want to go back to the office? What are your options to make money? Possibilities range from negotiating with your employer, finding a new remote role, freelancing, buying a franchise to launching your own business.
Let’s look at each of these options in detail.

Episode 69 – Right Size Your Business (Growth Is Not Mandatory)
What’s With The Growth Thing?
Reach 6 figures, get a team, reach 7 figures! Then when you hit 7 figures, what’s next? Is it some time off?
No, of course not. Now the goal is 8 figures.
I’m guilty of this myself. I have no memory of my first $10k month because my brain was already on to the next milestone.
I do remember my first $20k month because I was on holiday at the time, but my focus was on the next thing.
The reason we do this is because we are programmed to want more.
Whatever we get doesn’t seem that appealing once we have it, so we go after the next thing.
It’s the universal principle that is behind all life – which is we have to create more life.
It’s always about more.
But is ‘more’ really the right choice when it comes to having a fulfilling life and business?

Episode 68 – How Hard Is It To Start Your Own Business? (Not As Hard As You Might Think)
If you’re a budding entrepreneur you’ve probably asked the question How hard is it to start your own business?
Starting a business is hard work in a sense…
…and sometimes it can be difficult to know what to do next.
There’s no question about it.
But in my experience, it’s not as hard as most people seem to think.

Episode 67 – A Quick 6 Step Plan For Coping With A Crisis
None of us, with the possible exception of Bill Gates, knew what was coming with this one.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been taken by surprise, felt stressed out and had to change my plans many times over the last few weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic.
So what do we do on a personal level and in our small businesses to keep going and stay sane in the process?

Episode 66 – What’s Your Next Level? (It Might Not Be The One You Think)
When we talk about ‘The Next Level’ in business, what are we normally talking about?
We’re usually talking about income.
Which is directly connected to our ideas of becoming more successful.
Making more money.
And generally, the conversation stops there.
But then why do we want money?
To make life easy. To take away ‘problems’. To buy more stuff. To do more things.
And why do we want that?
