How to ‘show up’ effectively in your next meeting

As the world turns more and more to digital, we can easily fall into the trap of thinking that our digital presence is our most important self.

Are you an Expander or a Container? How to find...

5 rules for building a team in your business

I recently had an experience that had me feeling a little bit anxious. I was surprised, because I was doing something I had done plenty of times before. It was a task that consultants get asked to perform quite often but which most dislike with a passion – the dreaded team member review. Call me […]

The Invisible Workload – what it is and how to...

I saw a post on social media recently talking about the idea of the ‘invisible workload’ – the weight and responsibility of doing all of the thinking and planning for your daily life. This is referred to as the invisible workload, because even if you’re not the one doing everything, you might be the one […]

Strategy planning: why you need this in your business

‘’A goal without a plan is just a wish’’ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry   I love this quote. It so simply explains the change in perspective that takes place when you move your mindset from thinking to doing. It can be applied to something as simple as popping to the shops for a pint of milk, […]

how to make the most of face to face networking

I’m plotting out this blog from my seat at the 2021 Acumen Business Conference in Brighton and I am one of around 300 business delegates here to enjoy the return of this prestigious conference. Any other year this wouldn’t be a big deal, but today feels quite momentous as it’s the first large face to […]

Director of Operations – What does the DOO actually do?

It’s been a busy but extremely productive few months at Latchgate headquarters. If you follow me or subscribe to my newsletter, you might already be aware that I have dedicated a lot of time to leveling up my skills. This is not a new thing for me. My journey from freelance VA to OBM has […]

October isn’t just about Q4 planning — it’s October isn’t just about Q4 planning — it’s about designing 2026 from clarity, not chaos. 🎯
While everyone else scrambles to hit year-end targets, the smartest entrepreneurs are stepping back to ask bigger questions:
→ What kind of business do I want to run in 2026?
→ What operational infrastructure needs to exist to make that vision real?
→ How do I want to feel while building it?
Because the difference between a strategy and a pipe dream?
⚙️ Systems.
You can have a brilliant 2026 vision… but without the operational foundation to support it, you’re setting yourself up for overwhelm.
The entrepreneurs who will thrive in 2026 are already:
✅ Building businesses that scale without chaos
✅ Growing without burnout
✅ Succeeding without needing to be “on” 24/7
✨ Your 2026 success starts now.
👉 Tell me in the comments — what kind of foundation are YOU building for 2026?

The graveyard of abandoned systems is full of bril The graveyard of abandoned systems is full of brilliant ideas that ignored human nature. 🪦
Most systems fail because they’re not sustainable for how YOU work.
→ 7 priority levels
→ Color-coded categories
→ 15-step processes
→ Complex workflows
They look impressive.
They last a week. 😅
💡 The best system is the one you’ll actually use — not the one that looks good in a flowchart.
Design principles that work:
✨ Start with behavior, not tools
✨ Test for 3 weeks minimum
✨ Adjust or abandon if it doesn’t feel natural
✨ Simple beats sophisticated every time
Your systems should serve your brain, not fight it. 🧠
👉 What complex system could you simplify today?

My elaborate project management confession: 😅 My elaborate project management confession: 😅
→ 7 priority levels
→ Color-coded categories
→ Complex workflows
→ Hours of setup time
Lasted: one week. 🤦‍♀️
Now, I use just 3 categories:
✅ Do today
✅ Do this week
✅ Someday maybe
That’s it.
No colors.
No complexity.
No mental energy drain.
And guess what?
It’s been working perfectly for 2 years. 🙌
Here’s what I learned:
✨ Sophistication is often the enemy of consistency.
🧠 The more complex your system, the more mental energy it requires.
The best systems are invisible.
They handle the routine so your brain can focus on the remarkable.
Simple beats sophisticated every time. ✨
What could you simplify today? 👇
