    Why Business Growth Stalls and How to Fix It

    Why does business growth stall, even when a company has capable people, strong clients and plenty of activity? In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Zaid Aboobaker, Founder and CEO of Compass Point Consulting, about the hidden causes of stalled business growth and how leaders can identify what is really holding their organisation back. Zaid explains what a fractional CFO brings to a growing business beyond bookkeeping and historic reporting, and why fractional CFO services can provide valuable senior financial leadership without the cost or complexity of immediately building a full in-house C-suite. Chris and Zaid explore why diagnosis needs to come before action, how founders can become bottlenecks in their own businesses, and why finance, marketing, sales and operations need to work together if growth is to be sustainable. They discuss: • what is a fractional CFO and when does a business need one? • why founder-led businesses often struggle to scale • the importance of defining the right target market • how to distinguish between revenue, financial, marketing and operational problems • why clean financial data matters before automation or AI • credibility and trust in professional services • profitability versus top-line revenue growth • cash flow, financial runway and business resilience • how to diversify without adding unnecessary fixed costs • what leadership teams should examine first when performance starts slipping The central lesson is simple: when growth stalls, doing more is not always the answer. First diagnose what has actually changed, then decide where action is needed.

    Don’t Start With the Camera. Start With Strategy

    A strong video strategy does not begin with filming. It begins with understanding what the business is trying to achieve. In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Robert Weiss, Founder and President of MultiVision Digital, about how lawyers, advisers and other professional services firms can use video more strategically. Robert explains why one polished video is not a video marketing strategy, why distribution should be considered before production, and how firms can create expert-led content that supports trust, visibility, sales and long-term business development. They also discuss: • why professionals often feel uncomfortable on camera • how the right preparation can help experts speak naturally • why batch production can create far more value from a single recording session • how firms should balance education and promotion • where AI can help in video production • why AI avatars are often the wrong choice when clients need to see the real expert • how video can become a reusable digital asset that continues delivering value over time For professional services firms, the key message is simple: do not start with the camera.

    Your Business Has a Plan. Does Your Life?

    Your business has targets, systems and a strategy. But do you have the same clarity about your life? In this episode of Muhami Matters, host Chris Adams speaks with Adam Ashcroft, founder of The Advantage Coach, exited founder, executive coach and creator of the Advantage Operating System. Adam built and scaled an international business before exiting and confronting a very different question: what comes next when professional success is no longer enough? Their conversation explores the personal cost of building a business, founder identity after an exit, relationships, routines, coaching, purpose and why having a plan for your life can matter just as much as having one for your business. Adam also challenges a familiar morning habit. If the first thing you do is reach for your phone, check emails and react to notifications, whose priorities are you actually following? The discussion covers purpose, passions and progress, building stronger personal routines, surrounding yourself with the right people, asking for help, serving others and creating what Adam describes as a practical playbook for life.
