When I first started my business 13 years ago, I followed conventional advice - scaling, hiring a team, aiming for a million-pound business. But I quickly realised that managing a team wasn’t for me.

The 'why' to your business matters. It's a huge driver and motivator, especially when things are more challenging.

Dreaming big is fun, right? People tell us to 'dream big' - and I'm not going to say you shouldn't - but have you truly considered the 'why' behind it? Establishing goals should start with: "what it is that I really, really want and why?", and then break that down.
