Volume 2 (2026)

If you're rushing to grow right now, you're probably about to make the one mistake that kills most businesses before year three.

"Stay small enough for long enough, and you will be big enough soon enough."

Most founders read that and think it's about patience. It isn't. It's about restraint.

In my 20 plus years of business I have learned that staying small on purpose means saying no to:

🔸 The client who doesn't fit your avatar,
🔸 The hire you don't actually need yet,
🔸 The expansion that looks good on paper but stretches you thin before you're ready.

It's the opposite of hustle culture, it's choosing depth over speed, on purpose, while everyone around you is chasing size for its own sake.

The businesses that last aren't the ones that grew fastest. They're the ones that stayed disciplined about when to grow, and didn't confuse staying small with staying stuck.

If you're scaling, the question isn't how fast you can grow. It's whether you're still small enough to get this part right before you're not.

You can have the best team in the world, but if you can’t adapt to your environment, you will lose.

On Monday in the early hours of the morning, England proved they know how to do both.

Stepping into the Azteca to face Mexico in the Last 16 wasn’t just about playing a talented squad. For those that watched it live, know it was a battle against extreme altitude, suffocating humidity, and a fiercely hostile atmosphere.

To pull off that gritty 3-2 win, England couldn’t just play their usual game. They had to play the conditions.

I see this exact scenario play out with the founders I coach all the time.

We build an incredible SaaS product or a brilliant wellness brand, assemble a highly skilled team, and then expect our comfortable “home game” strategy to work anywhere.

But when hurdles occur like the market shifting, a competitor disrupting your sector, or the economic “humidity” rises, the original playbook goes out the window.

I realised a long time ago that the businesses that survive and the teams that advance are the ones that adapt their pacing, conserve their energy, and adjust their ex*****on to match reality.

England showed massive resilience to grind out that result when the environment was entirely against them.

It was way past my bedtime lol, and I’ve had to ease back into wearing my business strategist hat this week. However, it was an amazing 90 minutes. What an absolute rollercoaster.

I recently asked a founder what their business actually did. Three minutes into the answer, I still had no idea.

Be honest, if you pitched your business to a 10-year-old today, would they understand a single word you said?

I’ve seen the same thing when working with directors within enterprise organisations to improve strategy and transformation.

Your team doesn’t want a ‘paradigm shift’ or a ‘synergistic framework’. They just want to know what the actual plan is!

This video gave me a massive laugh today. It’s a brilliant parody of the ridiculous “LinkedIn speak” we are all guilty of scrolling past every day.

But behind the comedy, there’s actually a brilliant reminder for business owners.

We often fall into the trap of overcomplicating things to sound impressive.

We get so caught up in “paradigm shifts,” “agile frameworks,” and “leveraging bandwidth” that we forget how to speak like actual human beings.

Whether you are casting a vision for your team, pitching a new client, or just trying to hire someone to move heavy boxes, ‘clarity’ is your greatest asset.

If your team needs a dictionary to understand your strategy, it’s not a good strategy. Keep it simple, and you’ll move a lot faster.

If you’re a business owner of an SME, or a director in a large enterprise organisation looking to cut the jargon and build a clear, actionable growth plan, drop me a DM. Let’s talk (in plain English).

Happy Friday!

The healthcare and medical SaaS sector didn’t just have a busy month recently, it had an historic one!

Hey gang

I’ve been busy building roadmaps for some clients in the healthcare & wellness sector recently, the thing i like about the variety of clients i work with is the info they share with me about the challenges in their world.

If you lead a clinic or a software company, your strategic roadmap probably needs an immediate review.

Recently, GE HealthCare completed a massive $2.3 billion acquisition of Intelerad, while Boston-based healthcare IT firm Latent secured an $80 million Series A.

The broader healthcare software market has now reached a valuation of $84 billion and is projected to nearly double by 2030.

What does all this mean for you?

The devil is in the detail, and as i always say - use the data to make your decisions.

Whether you are scaling a chiropractic franchise, managing an osteopathic clinic, or building the next great pharma-tech tool, here are three steps to implement this quarter:

🔸 Audit Your Data Silos:

The multi-billion dollar valuations are driven by data. Ensure your patient management, billing, and outcome tracking systems are fully integrated.

Your data is your most valuable asset.

🔸 Invest in Patient-Facing Tech:

AI is at consumer level and apps are pretty standard now. Whether it’s Microsofts Copilot, Googles Gemini or Open AI’s Chat GPT.
Consumers now expect the same frictionless digital experience from their surgeon or dentist.

Streamlined booking, digital intake, and automated follow-ups are no longer optional, they are the baseline.

🔸 Map Your Long-Term Positioning:

Are you building a lifestyle business, or are you positioning for acquisition?

The current M&A climate heavily favors practices and software tools that have clear, documented, and scalable operational procedures.

This isn’t just helpful for you to grow and scale, but if you want to exit, the market is rewarding technological integration.

Most people attend tech events looking for the next tool.

The more valuable thing is recognising the next shift.

On 20th May, I’ll be at The Tech Transformation Summit 2026 at the ICC Birmingham alongside senior leaders discussing the technological forces reshaping business and society.

And from what I’m seeing when speaking to founders…

The biggest challenge for most businesses is no longer access to technology, the acceleration of AI has closed that gap, It’s clarity.

AI, automation, data, and digital systems are moving faster than many organisations can adapt culturally and strategically.

I’m having conversations every week with:

🔹 SMEs trying to scale without losing direction
🔹 Enterprise leaders are trying to align people with rapid change while not exposing the company to risk.
🔹 Founders are overwhelmed by the number of tools available
🔹 Teams investing in technology without a clear roadmap

Technology alone is not an advantage.

Strategy is.

The businesses that will lead over the next few years will not necessarily be the ones with the biggest budgets…

They’ll be the ones with:

🔸 clear strategic direction
🔸 adaptable and innovative leadership
🔸 strong communication
🔸 a roadmap people actually understand

That’s why events like this matter, not just for networking, but for perspective.

When you get the right people in the room, you stop reacting to change and start planning for it.

Looking forward to some powerful conversations in Birmingham.

If you’re attending, let me know.

What’s the biggest technology or AI challenge your business is trying to solve right now?

I have a confession to make, welcome to a new series called confession Tuesdays!

Hey gang!

It’s a short week again! However, If you’re reading this after working through the Bank Holiday weekend… we need a quick, honest conversation.

One of the most expensive stories business owners tell themselves is:

“I’ll just catch up over the weekend.”

I get it, Short week, Bank Holiday break, A backlog that feels more important than your plans, the email is quiet, the phone doesn’t ring, you feel like you get more done because everyone else is off.

My confession: I’ve done this way too many times.

But here’s what I’ve learned personally and also after years of running business coaching sessions with founders:

“when you gain on your Business Roadmap, you can quietly lose on your Life Roadmap.”

The real issue usually isn’t dedication, It’s direction.

Most founders don’t work until midnight on a Friday because they’re “built different.” They do it because their week, diary or schedule has no clear system.

🔹 When sales, marketing, and delivery aren’t aligned, everything becomes “urgent.”

🔹 When everything is urgent, the spillover always lands on your weekends.

🔹 Often thats not a workload problem. That’s a strategy + structure problem.

If you keep using holidays & weekends to “catch up,” the business slowly trains you to believe:

🔹 Rest is a reward you haven’t earned yet
🔹 Family time is negotiable
🔹 Your only lever is more hours

And the scary part? You can still be “busy” and be stuck.

I’m writing this at 5 AM on a Saturday morning and I’m not getting up to seize the day! Let me explain.

Hey gang,

For once im not “on the grind”… last night I chose something different.

The irony is I spoke to my physio about this just this week. What do we actually do for ourselves? Ask yourself, what do you enjoy doing? What are your hobbies? When last did you catch up with old friends?

I spent the evening with friends I’ve known for over 20 years, the kind of friendships that remind you who you were before business, before responsibilities, before the endless to-do list.

It was great to catch up with Andy who has flown over from America, despite this being a really busy month I wasn’t going to half-show up because my calendar was full.

I will be honest: as founders, we tell ourselves we’ll make time later. After the launch. After the busy quarter. After the next hire. But “later” has a habit of stealing the very things that keep you grounded.

So yes, I’m up early today, Because I’d rather ‘invest’ the time in relationships and business rather than sacrifice one for the other.

This is what strategy looks like in real life:

You don’t need a perfect work-life balance. You need an operating system that stops your business from demanding your best hours and leaving the worst of you for your most important people.

If you’re in a season where business is winning at the expense of life, try this simple shift over a weekend:

Pick one evening that’s non-negotiable (friends, family, life) Then build your week around it, not “in spite of it”

Get ruthless about the activities that don’t move revenue or retention.

A business that only works when you sacrifice your life… isn’t the business you wanted to build for yourself, it’s the job you wanted to leave.

What’s one relationship you’re committed to protecting this month, no matter how busy business gets?

There’s something about Dublin that stays with you long after you leave.

I’ve been fortunate to spend time there over the years.

- Walking through the city.
- Taking in the history.
- Visiting places like the Guinness factory.

But it was never just about the landmarks.

It was the people.

🔸 The warmth.
🔸 The humour.
🔸 The way conversations just seem to flow.

And underneath it all… a quiet resilience.

Strength doesn’t always need to be visible.

Sometimes it’s just how you carry yourself.
✅ How you respond.
✅ How you keep going.

Happy to share today with my LINKEDIN family!

“There are no strangers here; only friends you haven’t yet met.”
— William Butler Yeats

Happy St. Patrick’s Day.
