When you've started your business alone and everything has been on you to do, it can mean a big change of mindset is needed in order to change the position you're in. You need to learn to delegate - this doesn't necessarily mean employing staff. You can outsource to freelancers who are experts in a particular field that you need help in. You need to think like a business owner - don't treat your business as a job that's replaced your income. You need to think about the bigger picture. You'll need to get help with your finances - you're not a bookkeeper or an accountant. Having someone who will take care of your business finances and give you advice and support is what you need to drive your business forward. You will need to review your existing processes and introduce automation and new software that will grow with your scaling business. At both LJM and AC-XL we can help support you on your journey to growth. Get in touch today to discuss this further.

My biggest client was a referral from a finance company, but it turned out his parents lived down the road from where I grew up in a tiny hamlet & we knew a lot of the same people. I’ve been doing some work behind the scenes with someone who was a referral & it turns out we went to the same school & they lived in the street opposite me. What small world coincidences have you experienced in business?

The real reason you're failing is because you don't have the time and energy because you're too busy trying to do it all yourself. You don't have the resources and expertise in all areas of your business. You don't have clear visibility of your finances. Asking for help is not failure. Asking for help shows determination and commitment to your business. It shows that you're ambitious and want to scale your business to new levels. We'd love to support you on your growth journey. Get in touch today to find out how we can do this together.

Moving house is stressful! and we've not even moved yet! We got the keys after 9 month's of waiting or should I say battling! It's great to finally have the keys but the process has been so stressful! We've now got the stress of all the interior design, quotations coming from all directions and keeping up with it all! You also forget how tiring it is painting and decorating, fair play to anyone does it for a living! I know it will all be worth it but I just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel yet! Wish me luck! Oh and you can follow our progress on Instagram: https://lnkd.in/eszz636b

I'm looking for recommendations. I'm moving offices soon and I'm thinking about the interior design. I know it's got to be on brand and have a few shades of purple here and there. But, what's the one thing in your office that you love and couldn't live without?

I've potentially got 8 rounds of golf in 5 days! Yesterday was our practice round for the Central England Mixed Foursomes on the Hotchkin Course at Woodhall Spa (home of England Golf & top 10 in the best courses in England) From today until Sunday we could have 2 rounds a day depending on how far we get as it’s knockouts, then back to Stoke Rochford to represent the club & partner the club chairman in the annual Hotchkin Society Trophy (all the courses designed by Hotchkin play each other every year & we’re hosting for the Centenary). It's going to be tiring let's hope we don't get soaked and we play a good game!
