True Profit Business gets shortlisted by Business Book Awards

More leads are NOT the only answers to your marketing problem
To get the leads you feel you need can be exhausting at the best of times; growing and managing free Facebook Groups, posting endless social content and running Facebook ad campaigns (that have the habit of eating up your cash flow!) are all popular ways of generating...
Overwhelm and the never-ending to-do list
I get it. There are times that you find yourself in the trenches of to-dos. No matter what’s gone on before and how well prepared and organised you may have felt last month, stuff can easily pile up and get on top of you. Sometimes it shows up as piles of post-it...
Who are your dream team?
One of the big problems of working for yourself and running your own business is that you will often believe that you are the one to do anything and everything in your business. If you are still in the first few months of start-up, there is no doubt that you are doing...
Why motivation is not the answer to helping you play your bigger game
Everyone doubts themselves at some points of their business journey. Sometimes feelings of fear and doubt can come from nowhere; one day you’re feeling great about your growth plans and then suddenly you’re reminded of an idea or a decision you haven’t taken action...
Happy Revenue (and calling out the BS of the ‘get more clients’ message)
Get more clients. It’s the message that many marketers want you to hear. Making money is, of course, an important function of your business but when the numbers in your bank account may feel smaller than you think they should be, money has this habit of taking up...
Making ripples together – the impact your business can make
How often do you consider the impact you are making? There are three energies that your business can give you; money, creativity and impact. Money allows you to be profitable and have the time that you want to live your life. Creativity allows you to work in flow and...
Hello. Is anyone listening?
Do you ever wonder if anyone is actually really and truly reading, listening or watching your content? Today, all our content can be tracked by metrics; number of likes, comments, click-throughs and shares. But do they tell the whole story? I was out last night with a...
From feast and famine to feast and fallow
I see many business coaches and mentors drive their clients hard; fuelled by the likes of Gary Vaynerchuk and other high adrenaline entrepreneur gurus, many people believe that hustle and grind are proof of success. Heck, I used to do it myself back in the early days...
What is the real truth behind your profit?
For many of you who decide to start up a business, it isn’t the money that necessarily drives you above all else. However, making sales is a critical component to having a successful business. Without someone buying what it is you are selling, you have no business....
How to start your working week
How do you start your working week? Do you find what you do on a Monday morning, or maybe even a Sunday evening, sets the tone for the rest of the week and the weeks proceeding? Today, I wanted to share with you the three things I do every Monday morning. I've learned...
Is making a decision a skill or a way of being?
The number of choices you have to make to each and every day can add up into the thousands; from what clothes you put on in the morning and what you eat for lunch to what podcast you listen to next or radio station you play in the car. In fact, some sources claim that...
Revenue streams – how many ways can you make 6 figures?
No, it’s not a trick question nor am I about to launch into some scammy way of turning on a money tap whilst lounging back on a Caribbean sundeck. It’s a serious question that all experts and service-based professionals need to answer at some point in their business....

How to stop over delivering and set your professional boundaries
When a client spends money with you, do you deliver what you promise? Of course, you do! But if you are like 80% of business owners who sell their expertise and talent, you probably deliver far more than what was expected of you. Over delivery is a common problem and...
How to get through the Festive Fog

Red, hot convertible or roomy SUV?
Take a trip to a city and what would your vehicle of choice be? I would love to hire a red hot, convertible; roof down on a sunny October day and seat warmers turned up to max so I wouldn’t have to wear a coat. But a car like that is wasted in...
When fatigue and burnout is hurting your business
Our start-up culture here in the UK and the US celebrates hustle-and-grind and hard work, and yet sells us the passive income dream and laptop freedom lifestyle. This social pressure to achieve, crush it and chase the 6 or 7 figure business formulas, has resulted in...

The Yes Paradox
Let's talk about the words YES and NO. Does saying YES really lead you to the right opportunities? Or does it lead you to the world of insanity? YES and NO. Such definite answers. Great words for making decisions. And yet say YES more often than you've got time for,...
