Welcome back to my daily diary on day 1810 of the Runpreneur journey! In today's episode, I dig deep into the concept of "less is more" and how sometimes stepping back can produce greater results. This idea, inspired by Pareto’s Law (the 80/20 rule), is something I’m living through with my latest business, Operations Director. While I’m passionate about solving real problems for entrepreneurs, I’ve found myself slipping into roles – like coaching and endless sales calls – that just don’t energise me.

I share my realisation about shifting focus from labour-intensive consulting back to building scalable systems – so I can maximise impact without burning myself out. I also reflect on how my long-standing property business continues to be the most profitable with the least effort, and what that teaches me about where to invest my time and energy. If you’re feeling stretched or wondering if your effort is in the right place, this episode is for you. Tune in for honest insights on aligning work with passion, boosting productivity through efficiency, and making time count for the biggest returns.

Don’t forget – every listen and share helps me raise more for children’s charities through my barefoot ultramarathon run vlogs. Stay positive. Stay happy. And keep striving for more by doing less.
