    Ep 66 Create a LIFECHANGING Business Exit Plan That Works

    Discover the Path to Sustainable Business Growth with Our Free Scale Audit: ⁠https://www.addazero.co.uk/free-scale-audit/⁠ Are you measuring your success by someone else’s yardstick? In this episode of the AddAZero Podcast, I dive into a common but dangerous trap that many business owners fall into—comparing their journey to someone else’s. After a recent coaching session with a client struggling with this exact issue, it became clear: success is not one-size-fits-all. What matters is having a clear plan—one that aligns with your goals, your vision, and ultimately, your exit strategy. In this episode, we explore: - Why success is a journey, not a destination - The danger of comparing your progress to others - How small daily actions shape your long-term success - Why every business needs an exit plan—right from the start - The key difference between owning a business and working in one If you’ve ever felt behind because someone else sold their business, hit a financial milestone, or seems to have it all figured out—this episode will change your perspective. I’d love to hear your thoughts and key takeaways from this episode! Share your experiences or any questions you might have — let’s continue the conversation.

    Ep 64 Build a BUSINESS That Thrives Without You

    Discover the Path to Sustainable Business Growth with Our Free Scale Audit: ⁠https://www.addazero.co.uk/free-scale-audit/⁠ In this episode of the Add A Zero Podcast, I dive into a question that every business owner needs to answer: Are you building a lifestyle business or a business that’s fit to scale? Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with business owners at every stage—from start-ups landing their first client to CEOs of multi-industry global companies. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that success means something different to everyone. But here’s the problem: too many entrepreneurs chase someone else’s definition of success without ever stopping to ask, “What does success actually mean to me?” In this episode, I’ll challenge the idea that success is just about hitting revenue goals. We’ll talk about why numbers alone can’t define your business’s true impact, and more importantly, why your business should be able to thrive without being dependent on you every single day. Episode Overview: - The real difference between a lifestyle business and a scalable business - Why success isn’t just about the numbers - The importance of having an exit plan, even if you don’t plan to leave - How personal growth fuels business growth - Building a business that thrives beyond your involvement I’d love to hear your thoughts and key takeaways from this episode!

    Ep 61 From Overworked to Optimised: How to Stop Being the Bottleneck in Your Business

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a concept inspired by Michael Gerber’s book The E-Myth: the distinction between working in your business and working on your business. Many entrepreneurs, even those with established teams, find themselves stuck in the day-to-day operations, unintentionally becoming a bottleneck for their business’s growth. I’ll share the story of a business owner who faced this challenge and how we helped them transition from being integral to their business’s daily operations to empowering their team to take the reins. We’ll explore why it’s essential to prioritise your personal and professional development and how to create space to focus on the big picture. In this episode, we will cover:  The hidden costs of being too involved in your business’s daily operations. Why defining your “redundancy date” is key to scaling sustainably. The transformative power of shifting from “how will we do this” to “who will do this.” How prioritising yourself can lead to better business decisions and outcomes. A practical exercise to identify what makes your VIP clients stand out—and how to apply that same VIP treatment to yourself and your business. By the end of this episode, you’ll have actionable insights to step back, rethink your role, and create a more autonomous and scalable business. Let’s redefine success and put you back in the driver’s seat of your entrepreneurial journey. We’d love to hear your thoughts and key takeaways from this episode!
