How much is your time worth? I see this all the time - Good people - Smart people - Hardworking people Doing everything themselves: - Driving everywhere - Answering everything - Fixing everything And then wondering why the business isn’t moving This week I spoke to one of my mentees On track for £500k EBITDA Let’s break that down → £10,000 a week EBITDA → £2,000 a day → Roughly £250 an hour → Around £4 a minute So here’s the question: Why are you doing £15 an hour jobs? Why are you doing £20 an hour tasks? Even £30 an hour work is almost 10x below your value Every hour you spend there Is an hour you’re NOT spending: → Growing the business → Building systems → Creating opportunities → Increasing that £250 an hour And here’s the uncomfortable truth: If you’re not hitting the numbers you want yet It’s probably because You’re stuck doing £13, £15, £20 an hour work ....F'ing around word-smithing an email or reading through post etc... ....Instead of doing the work that actually moves the dial “Do what only you can do” Things that will actually generate growth, profit or new business... That’s where the value is Everything else - Delegate it - Systemise it - Remove it Work out your number Based on your EBITDA Or where it should be Break it down - Hourly - Per minute Then look at your diary: Be honest How much of your time is being spent below your pay grade? Stop undervaluing yourself Start acting like your time matters Because it does And when you treat it that way Everything changes If you’re serious about growth Start buying your time back That’s where the real leverage is 👍

Not aggressive. Not violent. Not a dick. Just disagreeable. Say things like: Actually, I am not sure I agree with that. or Can you explain that in more detail, because that does not sit right with me. Or simply, I disagree. Even if you are not 100 percent sure yet. I once had an incredible Oil Co boss who would deliberately disagree in meetings. Not to be awkward. But to see who actually believed what they were saying. Who would stand up for their thinking. Who really understood their own argument. Who could support and justify their position Most people folded instantly. They were not thinking. They were agreeing. Sucking up. Going along with the masses. And here is the uncomfortable truth. Being agreeable makes you part of the Masses. The masses are broke. The masses are not growing. The masses live lives of quiet desperation. The average UK business makes about £13,000 a year: Who the fuck wants that? If you want a different outcome, stop agreeing for comfort and start thinking for yourself. Try being disagreeable today. See what happens.

Most businesses do not fail because they try to grow. They fail because they grow without foundations. If you want to scale without chaos, stress, or burnout, focus on this. 1. Funding and priorities Most owners underinvest in the one thing that controls every result. Their thinking, skills, and decision making. Growth follows priority, not intention. 2. Systems Poor systems turn growth into friction. Friction turns into stress. Stress turns into mistakes. If everything still relies on you, you do not have a business. You have a job with overheads. 3. Sales and selling Can you sell? Can your team sell? Are you charging enough? How do you generate Leads Most businesses struggle not because demand is weak, but because confidence, pricing, or capability is. If you cannot sell properly, scale will amplify the problem, not fix it. 4. The one thing that matters most YOU - You are exactly where you are because of the decisions you make every day. Or the ones you avoid. Scaling without fucking it up starts with a decision. - A decision to improve. - A decision to learn. - A decision to cut out the cancers holding the business back. Growth is not accidental. Neither is stagnation. Scale is not about doing more. It is about becoming better.
