Jeff Shrimpton, Business & Performance Coach I’m a business coach, but I don’t coach businesses; I coach people.

What most people truly seek isn't just business success; it's to have a full and rich experience of life.

If you've got 10 priorities, you've got a to-do list.

Too many business owners are trying to achieve everything at once, then wondering why they're not making progress.

I'd suggest no more than three priorities at a time. And even that's bending the rules!

Motivation is definitely overrated.

A client once asked me to get him motivated. I told him I wasn't going to do that.

Because what happens when the motivation wears off?

You can't rely on feeling in the mood every time something needs doing.

Are you doing what's important, or just what's easy?

Without a plan, you'll naturally gravitate towards the jobs you enjoy or find easiest.

But those aren't necessarily the things that will move your business forward.

Quite often, the jobs you've been avoiding are the ones that will get you the best results.

Does your one-hour meeting somehow take two and a half?

I know businesses where that's a regular occurrence. Every Monday morning.

Meetings can be productive, but they need discipline. A tight agenda, clear outcomes and a finish time that actually means something.

Otherwise, you're just giving work gossip a scheduled slot in everyone's diary.

25/10/2026

Your business is not a democracy.

You should absolutely listen to your team and take their opinions into account.

But you're the one responsible for making decisions and moving the business forward.

If you're waiting for everyone to agree before you act, you could be waiting a very long time.

Could your business survive doubling in 12 months?

A fast-growing business eats cash.

And if you're going to double in size, you'll probably need to bring new people into the business quickly too.

Before you jump at a big growth opportunity, make sure you've got the foundations to support it.

21/10/2026

Are your business mistakes school fees or idiot tax?

A client of mine lost half a million quid on a project that went badly wrong.

They've now identified what caused it and made changes to prevent it happening again, which is particularly important because their next job with the same contractor is much bigger.

Losing money hurts. Losing it again because you didn't learn anything is worse.

20/10/2026

You've got plenty of work. But can you find the people to do it?
Some businesses have established contracts and don't particularly need social media to attract new customers.
But they might need it to attract employees.
Not all marketing is for customers, and if you're struggling to recruit, your employer reputation deserves some attention too.

I think I've found a better word for KPIs.
We were talking about KPIs in a coaching session today and the more we said it, the drier it sounded.
For people who've spent years being beaten over the head with KPIs, even the word can bring back bad memories.
I've come up with an alternative that feels much more positive.
Watch the video to find out what it is. It's free. It's on me.

17/10/2026

The hustle that built your business could be holding it back.
In the startup phase, you probably need to hustle. But that habit can stay with you long after you've built a team around you.
And when you're still grinding away in the day-to-day, what happens to your ability to step back and lead the business?
Watch the video. You might recognise yourself.
