Trapped in a Business Hamster Wheel? This Podcast Will Set You Free!

Are you exhausted from chasing one-off jobs, scrambling for the next client while your competitors seem to have a flood of customers on tap? Do you spend hours planning marketing strategies that never see the light of day, only to watch your business stagnate? If you’re nodding, you’re stuck in the business owner’s hamster wheel—and Episode 19: "This Beats Planning, EVERY Time!" is your ticket out.

In this electrifying, marketing expert Craig, with 19 years of hard-won experience, shares a transformative story that will make you rethink everything. From a chance encounter with a struggling karate school to building a marketing system that’s now helped 26+ martial arts businesses, Craig reveals why doing trumps planning every time. His raw, honest insights will light a fire under you and equip you with a clear path to break free from the grind.

Here’s how this episode will tackle your biggest business headaches:

• Problem: Stuck in the one-off job trap. You’re grinding through single jobs, starting from scratch with every client, like Craig was 18 months ago. He explains how shifting from “single-service” work to a scalable system (like his karate school success) can create a steady stream of customers, saving you from the hamster wheel.
• Problem: Overplanning with no results. You’ve got notebooks full of ideas, but they’re gathering dust. Craig’s confession of delaying this blog post for two years shows why planning without action stalls growth—and how jumping into action with a martial arts client led to a game-changing marketing system.
• Problem: Missing game-changing opportunities. You’re too busy with low-paying gigs to spot the big win, just like Craig was until a karate school owner’s plea changed everything. Learn how to stay open to unexpected opportunities that could transform your business.
• Problem: No predictable customer flow. You’re praying for referrals or repeat clients, but it’s a gamble. Craig’s “Customer Mountain” concept—a marketing machine that attracts, captures, and converts customers—will inspire you to build a reliable pipeline.
• Problem: Fear of guaranteeing results. You hesitate to promise outcomes because you’re not sure what works. Craig’s journey to offering a “results guaranteed” service by focusing on one industry shows how deep expertise can give you the confidence to deliver—and win clients over competitors.

Picture this: instead of pedalling endlessly for the next job, you have a “Customer Mountain” where eager clients are ready to work with you.

This episode isn’t just inspiring—it’s a practical blueprint to make that vision real. Craig’s story of turning a karate school’s desperation into a thriving marketing system will show you how to act decisively, seize opportunities, and build something bigger than one-off wins.
