One of the biggest challenges when running a business is… time ⏰ I hear it again and again. When I share what I do, people often say “Wow, I’m amazed at how you fit it all in.” However, a lot of planning goes into how I spend my days. I’m not OCD, but I do have a plan and here’s how it goes… I plan my days I plan my weeks I plan my months I plan my 90-days I plan my year Yes, it may sound a little OTT, but it isn’t, it’s so simple. We all have the same 24 hours in the day We all have 7 days a week We all have 365 days a year It’s what we do with them that counts and how we prioritise them This may shock you but I also have a priority 1. Fun, relaxation and health ☀️ 2. Family and special days 3. Work Now don’t get me wrong, my family and clients are pretty high on the list, but if I’m not healthy, relaxed, and well, then I don’t function effectively, and my productivity hits a slump. I create time by looking after myself first, so I’m as productive as I can be for others. How do you maximise your time?

Running a business takes everything you've got —except your body. Sitting at a desk for 12 hours a day silently kills your productivity. As founders and execs, we know mental clarity drives success—but physical well-being? That’s often overlooked. Here’s the truth: ❌ Constant desk sitting  ❌ Tight muscles ❌ Bad posture They create more mental fatigue than you realize. And it’s not just discomfort—it affects decision-making and focus. High performers who have sustained that for decades know: You were made to move. Here are 3 simple things you can do TODAY to  unlock energy at your desk: 1) Practice 30-second deep breathing intervals. 2) Stretch for 5 minutes every hour. 3) Try seated back rotations.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 "𝗣𝘂𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗢𝗻 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁" 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 & 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀. I've been catching a few flights late on my travels. Remember that flight safety instruction? "Put on your mask first before helping others." It's not just about survival; it's a powerful metaphor for self-care. When running a business, getting caught up in the constant demands of your time and attention is easy. As a business owner, juggling tasks, solving problems, and making decisions become second nature. But if you don't take care of yourself, you'll burn out faster than you can say "cash flow." Your business can't thrive if you are overwhelmed by stress, fatigued and running on an empty tank. Putting on your mask first is the best investment you can make. Here's what I found works for me. ❤ Prioritize my well-being and schedule time out as I would do meetings.  ❤ Don't hesitate to say no by sticking to your standards and boundaries. ❤ Delegate & automate tasks. Being rested, focused, and energized equips you to handle the challenges that come your way. (And they will always come; that's the price of success.) If you struggle with putting on your metaphorical oxygen mask first, I am here to guide and assist you so your business & life can soar.

Busy vs. Productive Are you on track to reach your goals for the year? Have you captured the right clients? Are you generating the revenue you expected? As a business, your goal is to generate revenue and income by virtue of the services you perform or the products you provide. It is very easy to get caught up in how “busy” you are each day. The question is, are those activities that are keeping you busy “productive”? Being busy does not make money. Being productive is the only way to make money. Too many business owners mistake busyness for productivity and as a result, they aren't seeing results even though they feel like they are working hard. If you feel like you have been busy but are behind in getting the results you wanted for 2024, please give me a call for a complimentary and confidential discussion and we’ll turn busyness into productivity and results. #productive #results #businesscoaching

Structuring your life to assist your business goal ain’t easy Many of you guys that I speak to get wrapped up in overwhelm and stress Find yourselves getting stuck in thought loops “But what it doesn’t work?” “I just don’t know where to start’” “Shall I just stay put in my 9-5 instead?” Feeling that if you could just have more time n space to think that you’re business would grow And in essence you’re right & I’ve felt this for myself in the past. The truth is when you’re working full time and trying to get your business off the ground Your time is limited Often you find yourself feeling like a headless chicken running from one task to the next Only to get the the end of the day feeling like a shell of a man Well, it doesn’t have to be this way I’ve found a way to create organisation and space within my days to avoid this Inside The Limitless Man we have a system for this - ‘The Boundless Time Method™’ This system allows you to get clear on the few high leverage tasks that you need to get done Create the time to ensure they get done And most importantly have boundaries around when you will & won’t work This is when real productivity sores The funny thing about high-performance is that everyone thinks it’s doing more But I find it’s focusing on efficiency > quantity What does this mean? It means focusing a on few high-priority tasks within a set period of time That’s give you maximum results - ‘Bang for your buck’ if you like This is what becoming The Limitless Man is all about It’s knowing how to think and act to perform at your best So you’re not left running around from one task to another only to get to the end of the day unsure if you’ve actually made progress Now, that’s real high-performance to me When you act this way. You can still go enjoy the finer things in life. Meals out/day trips etc without the feeling of guilt, that you need to be working But it all starts with boundaries! Want to find out more about how I do this? Well, I’ve just opened up 5 case-study spaces inside The Limitless Man - This if for those looking to think and perform better whilst regaining time in their week to work on their side business to achieve real freedom!

I had a weird experience last week that made me think of you... I opened my eyes to find myself being pushed from the driver's seat of my car to the passenger side. The vehicle was moving at a pace I didn't like. I hate not being in control. & it wasn't even a smooth journey - hitting bumps left and right. I was about to scream at the driver when it occurred to me that 1. I don't have a car 2. I was actually sitting at my work desk, staring at my laptop, waiting for a prospect to join a call. Sorry, that was just me daydreaming 😂 But it got me thinking about you and your business. Here's the thing Your business isn't your baby. It's your vehicle. A vehicle to take you where you want to go in life. But are you driving, or is it driving you? Ask yourself → Am I doing what I want? → When I want? → With whom I want? → Am I doing very little of what I hate? If you answered 'no' to any of these, it might be time to grab the wheel. Remember, your business should fit your life, not the other way around. So, how do you take back control? One word DELEGATE. Handing over tasks you don't enjoy or aren't good at frees you up to focus on what really matters. It's like having a co-pilot for your business journey. PS. Are you driving your business, or is it driving you?🫣

Just 2 hours a day. That's all you need. How to launch your own business while working for a 9-5 job? If you’re working full-time—maybe as a teacher, manager, nurse, or in any demanding profession—it can feel nearly impossible to find the energy to start building your own business after a long day. I get it, you’re tired. You’ve given all you can, and the last thing you want to do is start a side project. But here’s the truth: Success doesn’t come without intentional focus. If you want to build your own business online, you need to carve out just 2 hours a day—either in the morning or evening—and dedicate them to deep, focused work. This is where you eliminate distractions (turn off your phone, emails, and notifications), and give your full attention to high-value tasks that will move the needle for your business. When you follow the principles of deep work, even in short bursts, you can accomplish more than most people do in an entire day of multitasking. Here’s what I have found valuable in my life when I worked 9-5: 1. Lock in 2 hours every day: Set aside time either in the early morning or after work when you’re mentally able to focus. 2. Commit to deep work: Use these 2 hours without distractions—no checking your phone, no interruptions. 3. Consistency is key: Do this daily. Over time, you’ll start seeing the results in your business. Do this at least one full year, and you'll thank yourself later. It’s not about finding extra time—it’s about using the time you have wisely. The path to your dream business starts with deep, focused effort—even if it’s just for 2 hours a day. 💪 #DeepWork #Entrepreneurship #Focus #OnlineBusiness #SideHustle #TimeManagement #Success
