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.

  • This Is Exactly How Much Your Time Is Worth (And What to Do About It)
    May 9 2025

    Discover why knowing your true hourly rate makes delegation a no-brainer — and how to use it to free up your time and increase your income.

    Still doing £30, £40, £50 tasks in your £100/hour zone?

    In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the simplest mindset shifts that’ll change how you run your business — forever.

    You’ll learn how to calculate your true hourly rate based on the life you actually want to live (think: 6 weeks off, 25-hour weeks 🙌), and how to use that number to make smarter decisions about what you should be doing… and what you should be outsourcing.

    We’ll cover:

    1. Why so many business owners stay stuck doing the wrong tasks
    2. A simple formula to work out your real hourly value
    3. The 3 best ways to reinvest the time you delegate
    4. A quick challenge to help you reclaim your time (and your brain space)

    💡 Spoiler: Delegation gets way easier when you understand the cost of not doing it.
