This is an update that has parts of what is relevant to know now and said with a sense of what to expect after my recent time away from here. The main shift is in the timing and topics. Enjoy.

In this conversation you can feel caught up, calibrated, and kept in the loop of where we’re growing the thinking behind business, specifically the thinking behind solo business. It’s one of those easy-to-half-listen-kinda conversations, so it’s suggested to listen ever so lightly on a lunchtime walk or while chorin’. Enjoy.

And, that link as promised. It’s suggested to read with a lens of either a close being an opportunity for something new to open, or the clarity (from a business model build) that’s leading business to thrive and work with the world as it grows into its new skin 😃

Just a heads up, it’s a long one, so maybe go ahead and speed it up to x1.25 and listen lightly (i.e., while walking or pottering about doing something else).

The format and flow of this conversation is one that’s super normal for an SBO talking out and making sense aloud to feel clearer and more connected to something specific.

Here you can hear some reflections relating to the recent (first) campaign experience with a surprising fondness and even the start of a new love for numbers, in particular how going old school in drawing the data is leading the business thinking forward. Enjoy.

Following the closing of the first campaign experience, where we introduced and brought front of mind the idea that we can achieve balance across our life and work and we can have more say within the way we balance by way of working with simple thinking structures (check out the video podcast to see The Work Life Balance Model* intro series).

Here you’ll hear the fatigue and the forward momentum started by consciously containing and creating by way of a quarterly campaign approach. Specifically, being open to what looked right on paper at the time and adjusting with what’s known now. Enjoy.

This conversation is a simple one, it’s one of asking and asking the repeated ask of, ‘What’s the point?’. Enjoy.

So often we’re told and promised clarity as something that is doable and done in business, and yet, for someone like me who needs to feel a feel for it to be real, clarity still felt like just an ideal idea. In this conversation you’ll hear a recounting of feeling clarity come together and how it’s already lighting the way forward. Enjoy.

Here you get to see a little way that has a big say each working week. Sharing a small knowing that was backed up by preparing the Monday morning reporting (aka the Weekly Report), which has a real-time influence in the business ways of working while navigating new and unknown tasks (e.g., working through the first campaign experience).

The importance of sharing the thinking behind this core business way of working is shared with the hope of inspiring you to look at your own reporting and where you could grow to know a little more in your business backed by your data. Enjoy.

So it sounds strange until it doesn’t. Here, in this conversation, we share the connection that’s forcing businesses of all sizes to look at where they play their part in a bigger picture. The best part is that in solo business we don’t have to wait. Instead, we can choose to lean in and learn what we need to learn about ourselves and others to choose how we play our part from here. Enjoy.

And, for when you’re curious, layer 3 laid in the video podcast:

Heya. In this conversation we’re kicking off our first efforts of concentrating our resources to a single focus (aka our first campaign), here, we begin the build of peeling away the complexity of the blurred lines between the parts in and out of running a solo business to open up the space that’ll support the clarity to come. Enjoy.
