Stress and anxiety may be common in business—but that does not mean the health problems they can contribute to should be expected or accepted.

In this Monday’s Moment, I share a personal experience from my late twenties. I had several businesses on the go, employee issues to manage, cash-flow pressures and the anxiety of trying to grow. I became so wound up that I experienced tightness and pain in my chest.

At the time, I quickly accepted the belief that this was simply part of being a business owner. Even now, I still hear owners, leaders and senior managers saying the same thing.

It isn’t. There is a different way, and we should not simply put up with it.

The lessons I share include:

- Seek appropriate medical help when you need it.
- Get support within the business through coaching, consulting, mentoring or trusted peers.
- Do not try to carry every pressure alone.
- Price your work properly and build the profit you need for today and for future growth.
- Look ahead and decide what you want the coming year to feel like—not merely what you want the business to achieve.
- Take action now, because continuing to do the same things is likely to leave you feeling the same way.

As we approach the end of 2026, I encourage you to consider the version of yourself you want running your business in 2027. Can that person be less anxious, less worried and better supported?

Business pressure may be real, but serious anxiety and stress-related health problems should not be treated as an unavoidable badge of business ownership.

Please share this video with another business owner, leader or manager who may need to hear this message.

We all have goals and dreams, most of us discuss them with our partners or our network, but how many of us have a plan and a schedule to reach our goals?

The difference between wishing for something and achieving it often comes down to one thing: putting a plan in place.

So, think about what actions you need to take to make it happen?

Take a look at your calendar. Does it reflect the future you're trying to create, or are you simply reacting to whatever lands on your desk each day?

Your dream deserves more than good intentions; it deserves a plan.

So, tell me, what's one thing you've scheduled this week that moves you closer to your goals?

What does success look like for you?

It's quite common for business owners to spend years chasing growth without ever stopping to ask:

"What am I actually growing this business for?"

Is it:

More revenue?
More freedom?
More time with family?
A holiday home?
A team that runs the business without you?

Success looks different for everyone.

If you could fast forward 10 years and everything had gone perfectly, what would your life look like?

Agency owners: do you actually know what to charge for your next project?

Or are you basing your price on what you've charged before, what competitors charge, or what you think the client will accept?

I'm creating a simple Price It for Profit Check to help digital agency founders work out their minimum, target and potential stretch project prices based on their real costs and profit goals.

The idea is to help you make a more informed pricing decision before your next proposal goes out.

Would you like a copy when it's ready?

☕ Are you answering the questions your customers are really asking?

This week’s listening recommendation is Episode 250 of the Business Success and Coffee Podcast, featuring Marcus Sheridan and his approach, They Ask, You Answer.

The idea is simple: instead of focusing all your marketing on selling your products or services, focus on helping your customers make informed decisions.

So, what can we learn from it?

💡 Be honest about the things customers really want to know. Pricing, potential problems, comparisons and even the downsides of what you offer are all part of the buying decision. Avoiding these topics doesn’t make customers’ concerns disappear.

💡 Your customers are already looking for answers. Think about the questions people ask before they buy from you. What are they worried about? What do they need to understand? Use those questions to shape your website, blogs and social media content.

💡 Trust comes before the sale. When you provide useful, honest information without immediately pushing for a sale, you give people a reason to trust your business.

💡 Your best content ideas might already be in your inbox. Look at the questions your team answers every day. These are opportunities to create content that genuinely helps potential customers.

The big takeaway? Good marketing isn't just about telling people how great your business is. It's about understanding what matters to them and giving them the information they need.

🎧 Listen to the episode here, wherever you get your podcasts.

💬 A question to consider: What is the one question your customers ask most often that you could turn into a useful piece of content this week?

A dream will stay a dream as long as you're not taking action to achieve it.

The moment you start taking consistent, intentional steps, it turns into something real.

Progress doesn’t come from waiting for the right time, more confidence, or perfect conditions. It comes from action, even when things feel uncomfortable or messy.

If you want this year to look different in your business, ask yourself:

What’s one small step you can take today?

Because clarity comes from doing, not overthinking.

If somebody asked you right now, “What are your profit levels?”, could you answer confidently?

While preparing for and delivering my recent Profit Builder Workshop, I rediscovered something I have seen repeatedly throughout my years in business and coaching. Most business owners are happy to share their revenue figures, but far fewer can tell me their gross profit or—most importantly—their net profit.

In this Monday’s Moment, I explain why knowing your profit numbers is essential.

Revenue is important, but it does not tell the whole story. We need to move beyond vanity-chasing and understand how much profit the business is actually generating and retaining.

The key lessons I share are:
* Know both your gross profit and your net profit.
* Be able to express them as pounds, dollars, euros or percentages.
* Understand exactly where your profit is being generated.
* Measure profit regularly so you can identify changes early.
* Do not assume that increasing revenue automatically protects your profit.
* Be ready to answer confidently when someone asks about your profit levels.

My personal preference is to measure profit as a percentage. If revenue increases, I want the percentage of profit I retain to remain strong too. A growing cash figure can appear impressive while the underlying profit percentage quietly falls.

Whether your answer is 48%, 15% or £40,000 per month, the important thing is that you know it—and understand what sits behind it.

So, what are your gross and net profit levels?

If you cannot answer immediately, make this the week you find out.

Please follow and share this video with another business owner who needs to know their profit numbers.
