Solutioneers Blog Tuesday 8th July 2025 Strategic Goal Setting Series: Week 1 – Focus & Commit: “I’m doing all the things… so why do I feel stuck?” Hello again,👋 Ever feel like you’re juggling 10 things at once… and still making no real progress? That was me. Last Month... Five projects in the air. 2 coaching clients, launching a read-along and a course... A colour coded outlook calendar that made me look productive. But the truth? I was exhausted and missing my goals. I was doing everything…...

Quick gut check... “This quarter, I’m going to simplify...” “This year, we’re getting serious about sales.” “I just want to feel less reactive and more… on purpose.” "We need to postpone the strategy session, I have to focus in this client deliverable." Sound familiar? You set the goal — and then life happens. Inbox. Firefighting. Other people’s priorities. And that goal? It quietly drifts to the edges of your calendar. Most goal setting fails. But not because you’re lazy. It fails because...

Have you ever felt like this: “I’m showing up everywhere,” - “I’m posting, emailing, running ads… but it’s like I’m invisible. No one’s paying attention.” This is me... Yesterday. People often stop me and tell me they love my content and my feed full of tips. You know, my emails were consistent. My product is solid. But something is missing. I know this, because the sales are not pouring in this time round... When I look at my social medial posting for my last course that I ran - it all...

I once worked with a lady who used to say: "If you give people options, they will choose." In my years of product and service design I have found this to be absolutely true. And the more choice you give the more chaos you introduce into the business. Like the I.T. service provider who has tailored packages to suit each and every different kind of customer (probably relates to the talent business owner profile). All of a sudden finds the business having to operate âś… 12 different service...

If you own a business I am fairly certain that you would be able to answer this question: “How much was your sales revenue last month?” If that number rolls off your tongue without you having to log into Xero (or Sage / Zoho / QuickBooks...) that's to be expected. But what if I asked you these follow-up questions: ❓ “What’s your customer acquisition cost?”❓ “How many of your clients stick around for more than 6 months?”❓ “Could you take 2 weeks off without everything falling apart?” Those...

A while back, I worked with a brilliant healthcare practice owner.She had a full-time receptionist, several clinicians, and an admin assistant.On paper, she had support.In practice? She was still the one answering client WhatsApps at night, checking on invoices, and chasing after overdue clinical notes. Sound familiar? She said to me: “I’ve hired people to help… so why am I still the one doing everything?” It’s a question I hear all the time. And here’s the tough-love answer: You may have...

Last year, the title at the bottom of my email read:CEO – Chief Everything Officer. At the time, I thought it was a cool. A way to tell people I was a solopreneur. A one-woman powerhouse running the show. But then something shifted. I started speaking with Allon Raiz, who invited me to become his first Flowcode Partner Coach. As we exchanged emails, I noticed something unusual in his signature. It read:CEO - Chief Excitement Officer. It stopped me in my tracks. Here was someone whose...

What Type of Business Owner Are You? (And What Might Be Holding You Back?) Not checking your blind spot can kill you… and your business. We’ve all heard the phrase when it comes to driving, but in business, it’s just as deadly. The things we don’t see—the areas we unintentionally neglect—are often the ones that quietly sabotage our success. As a business owner, you might be laser-focused on getting things done, building your brand, or managing your team. But are you focusing on the right...

Growing Your Healthcare Practice: Taking Back Control in a Challenging System "She looked defeated." That’s what Phumla and I said to each other after getting off a call with a physiotherapist working in private practice. She was done. So demotivated. The excitement she had when she started her practice two years ago had completely faded. Her earnings were tied to what the medical aids were willing to pay, eating into her profitability. The work was constant, but the financial reward? Hardly...
