How They Do Business

To be really straight, I don’t do ANYTHING for the sake of it. If I wanted to do something for the sake of it, I could start running 3-hour consultations and charge people by the hour for it. That would be doing something for the sake of it.⁠ We do what we do for a reason.

Fuck the taboos and the stereotypes, we are a team of misfits with a common goal and it is absolutely integral to the way our organisation runs. The people in our organisation are individuals, just like members of the public. We don’t all fit one mould, we welcome all. Some may have tattoos and swear, others are as straight-laced as anyone can be, some are sporty, others are self-confessed book nerds, some like cats, some like dogs, some have too many of both, but what we have in common is much more important – we care about the job we do and the differences we make with people every day.⁠

This week on How They Do Business, I answer questions from the audience about everything from my goals on my @bossdietitian Instagram page through to my tips on how you can become more self-aware.

Short answer? I didn't start with them and to this day, don't have one. However, that is just me... Let's talk about YOU. Whether you should have a business plan or not comes down to your skills and how your specific brain works and you can find out more by listening now!

To be really honest with you, my only mission when I STARTED the business was "do work, get more work, do work, get more work" but as the business grew rapidly, that changed... How it changed and the decision-making process behind that was huge, but you’re going to have to listen to the podcast to find out more!⁠

I've always said that I don't aspire to anybody as I am happy being exactly who I am, but when it comes to running a business, there are two people I'd name drop. Who are these two business guns? Listen to find out now!

While work ethic, speed, confidence and resilience are all paramount skills that helped me become successful, at the end of the day it's the fact that I know myself inside and out, so I am able to manage my weaknesses effectively. You dig?

This week on How They Do Business, I discuss making, identifying and rectifying wrong decisions. As I said, you want the wrong decisions to be the smaller ones, rather than the big ones and you do this by carefully considering the outcome of those decisions ahead of time. Tune in to find out more!

WARNING: I seem to have a little bit of an attitude in this one… Are you a wolf or a sheep? This week on How They Do Business, I discuss what that means to our organisation and why it has served as one of our mantra’s for success over the last few years.

Erica and I have a shared a very similar pathway into running our businesses. Whilst our goals have differed, there are several points that we can agree on when it comes to how a business should be run. In this podcast, we compare our perspectives and discuss the points of difference that set us apart in this space.
