Finance is the language of business, and you don’t need to be a genius or a mathematician, or even an accountant to understand your company’s financial performance.

This week during a coaching session, I talked to a client about customer experience and told me the story about how five years ago, before he had opened up his second location, he was on the hunt for a great steak to put on the menu.

So he’d call round to one of the butchers at the time, and he’d asked his butcher for a steak explaining what he was trying to do; the butcher gave him a couple of steaks, went home, and my client opened up these steaks to test them out, and he was disappointed: the steaks were rubbish they weren’t good quality at all.

This week I was taught a very valuable lesson by my six-year-old son Sammy. I was in the bathroom, shaving and he was talking to his sister in the bedroom and they were playing, building a car of some description and interestingly she had said to him – I can’t do this! and I heard him say “yet”.

This week on “Mind Your Own Business” I’m going to share my top 10 time hacks to help you be super productive.

Now, these tips are very simple and very easy to implement and I’d like to encourage you to try as many of them as you can over the coming week

This week on “Mind Your Own Business,” getting the right bums on the right seats.

Last week we spoke about getting the right seats set out in the right places and ensuring that you have crystal clear outcomes and expectations for each of the seats on your bus; this week, I want to talk to you about how you get the right people into those seats.

The bus is your business, and on your bus, you have various seats, and those seats represent the different roles in your business and what you need to understand is, do you have the right seats on the bus? Then you need to know if you’ve got the right people sitting on those seats, then you need to understand if you’ve got any empty seats on the bus ultimately, you then need to make sure that you’ve got the right people on the bus.

So what stops so many businesses from achieving the financial and time freedom that they know they went into business for in the first place?.

In my experience, most business owners do not spend enough time doing the long-term strategic work, also known as ON your business.

The thing I want to share with you today is something I learned from someone called Marshall Goldsmith: Showtime!
