About this listen

Welcome to "Focus on the Fun Stuff" the podcast where we dive into what it takes to focus on the things you love in your business and enjoy the journey.

We'll explore how to get more of those days where you're in the flow, loving what you're doing and using your unique abilities and passions.

Many business owners find themselves down in the weeds, overwhelmed, stuck at a certain revenue level, limited by team size, or constantly time-poor.


Often, it's a combination of all these challenges.


If you’ve ever looked at another successful, ambitious happy business owner and wondered ‘How did they do that?’

I’ve totally done the same thing.

And Focus on the fun Stuff explores how they did it.

  • Plan Like a CEO: 40 Hours is enough. The Weekly Structure That Keeps Me Out of the Weeds
    Jul 11 2025

    Send us a text

    Tired of feeling busy but never actually moving the needle?

    In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the weekly planning structure that keeps me out of the weeds and fully focused on what matters most.

    Whether you’re juggling client work, team management, or 1,000 Slack notifications — this episode will show you how to take back control of your week using CEO-level planning.

    You’ll learn:

    ✅ How to dedicate days to specific energies (like marketing, finance, or deep work)

    ✅ Why every founder needs a no-meeting zone (mine’s non-negotiable)

    ✅ The game-changing strategy session I do every week (and how we bake this into our Virtual PA support)

    ✅ How to fit thinking, strategy, and momentum into a 40-hour workweek

    ✅ And the simple rhythms that help high-performers win the week

    This isn’t about hustle.

    It’s about clarity, cadence, and choosing what to focus on — before your calendar and everybody else puts their demands on you.


    If you're ready to step into the real CEO role in your business, focussing on absolutely the right things, this one’s for you.

    What if breaking your business was the best thing you ever did?

    In this powerful and practical episode, Emma chats with business coach and multiple author Robin Waite about burnout, boundaries, and the bold decisions that helped him redesign his work – and his life.

    Robin shares:

    -His journey from marketing agency burnout to launching Fearless Business

    -The 4-stage growth cycle every entrepreneur goes through (on repeat!)

    -How to create “guilt-free time off” in a business built around you

    -The surprising lessons behind his Ali Abdaal podcast appearance

    -And why sometimes, the best thing you can do is press pause, reflect – and intentionally break what isn’t working

    With wisdom, humour, and a lot of heart, Robin reminds us that success doesn’t come from doing more – it comes from doing what matters most.
