In this episode, together let’s dive deep into the often-overlooked, yet crucial phase of business growth—figuring out what’s next.

As a business owner, it’s easy to get comfortable with what’s working, but what happens when you’re ready to uplevel your business?

This is where many business owners hit a roadblock, feeling both the excitement and fear of breaking what’s working, while also avoiding stagnation.

Join me as I share my personal journey to find clarity by taking a solo adventure in a campervan up to the Scottish Highlands, plus top tips from being in the corner of many established business owners who are going on their ‘what’s next?’ journey.

From understanding your next chapter vision to embracing the evolving nature of your entrepreneurial journey, this episode is packed with insights to help you navigate the sometimes turbulent, yet exciting process of upleveling your business.

Whether you’re looking to make small tweaks or big changes, this episode is designed to guide you toward making intentional, values-aligned decisions for your business’s future.

Key Takeaways:

·     The Reality of Upleveling:

·     Upleveling can feel scarier than starting your business because you have more at stake. The key is balancing growth without disrupting what’s working well.

·     Your Next Chapter Vision:

·     Your next steps don’t have to be drastically different, but they must be intentional. Reflect on what’s working, what needs refining, and what no longer aligns with your values or goals.

·     The Power of Reflection:

·     Taking time away from your day-to-day environment can be transformative.

·     Avoiding Generic Solutions:

·     Cookie-cutter approaches won’t cut it at this stage of your business. Your growth strategy must be tailored to your unique strengths, values, and vision.
