    47 | Why it's important to plan space between doing and reviewing in solo business.

    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 is a public episode.

    45 | How clarity can become something we feel in our business thinking.

    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. This is a public episode.

    44 | How preparing business reports can (actually) grow the way we work in solo business.

    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.

    43 | How ai is forcing the revisit to business models...and why it's good news for solo business.

    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: https://itsnotabigthing.substack.com/p/3-the-work-life-balance-model-layer-3 This is a public episode.

    41 | How we're balancing work and life while running a solo business.

    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.

    40 | How the thinking behind the business is that steadying focus when we get the wobbles.

    This conversation is a combined lens of all the roles working together to get the last little steps to be stepped to cross a finish line. Here, we let you in a little on the real-time experience of navigating, creating and delivering a campaign (aka a single focus with a concentrated effort for a specified time). Here we also let you in on the unknown decisions that had to be decided and left us divided, but because the thinking behind the business was clear in two ways, the decision was easy (enough). The purpose of this conversation shared is to illustrate one experience for you to take this which lands with you now and let it lighten your 🧠 load a little more than before. Enjoy.
