18 years later...here's I'd worry less about

Welcome

Mi PA turns 18 today.

On 1st March, self employed Emma became Mi PA Ltd.

18 years.

They’ve flown.

And they’ve been the biggest lesson in personal development I could ever have signed up for.

They say running a business exposes every flaw and weakness.

It is so true.

Worried about putting your prices up? > Money Mindset issues.

Client cancels? > That inner voice that wants to please and not be abandoned kicks in.

Know you should be showing up more online? > ‘What will they think of me’ gets loud

We always push through, overcome and adapt.

But there’s one thing I wish I had done differently.

And I’d love for you to do it differently - starting this week

Lets dig in 🚀

Did 26 year old Emma think she’d be running a 30+ person business?

Pivoting her PA model
Leaving time for money behind
Navigating an unknown world of Ai.

Definitely not.

But here’s what I do know.

I should have worried less.

About clients leaving.
About cashflow.
About team members resigning.
About what people thought.
About whether I would find new clients.

Most of the things I worried about?

I either:

• Sorted them

• They never actually happened

• Or they definitely don’t matter at all anymore.

Running a business is a never ending game of solving problems.

Want a bigger business? You’ll get bigger problems.

They never stop.

But we can choose not to let them consume us.

If somethings on your mind this week, ask:

Can I do something about it?

If Yes - then take action and stop worrying

If No - then stop worrying

Simple.

I’ve learned that you don’t win the week by mentally rehearsing disaster.

You win the week by deciding what matters and moving forward anyway. ☺️

Now…

Because it’s our 18th Birthday 🎂…. in true business birthday style I’m sharing the 18 most impactful strategies that have helped me: buy back time, build to 7 figures, and Win the Week.

And the first one?

The one that creates the fastest shift.

My Productivity Planner.

Not sexy.

Not glamorous.

But wildly effective.

Because it forces you to stop lying to yourself about your time.

Productivity Planner 📝

Here’s how to use it properly:

1️⃣ Work out your hourly rate

What is your time actually worth?
Revenue ÷ working hours.

If your time is worth £150 per hour…
Why are you doing £45 or £25 tasks?

2️⃣ Decide your top 3 outcomes each day

Not 17 tasks.
Three outcomes.

If you complete those, it’s a win.

3️⃣ Log everything in 30-minute blocks

For 2–3 days.

Inbox.
WhatsApp.
“Quick favours.”
Scrolling.
Admin.

No judgement. Just gathering the facts.

4️⃣ Circle what you could delegate

Anything that:

• Costs less than your hourly rate

• Doesn’t require your unique judgement

• Is repeatable

That becomes your delegation list.

That’s how leverage starts.

Because the first step to winning the week…

Is knowing where your time is actually going.

Always cheering you on.
