• Focus on the Fun Stuff 🎙️ - The 5 lies you’ve been told about getting help

Welcome!

This week, I did something wildly unsexy…

But so worth it.

I blocked one hour to do a proper business money review.

Just me, a coffee, and our expenses spreadsheet. ☕📊

And guess what?

I found £2,350 we no longer needed to spend. 😳
(Yes, really.)

Subscriptions we don’t use.

Tools we’ve outgrown.

Stuff we signed up for when it felt urgent… but isn’t anymore.

Because if there’s one thing that accumulates faster than clutter in your junk drawer?

It’s sneaky little payments quietly draining your business. 💸

As business owners, we’re busy.

It’s easy to let things slide.

But one of the fastest ways to win the week?

💥 Reclaim your power, trim the fat, and get back in control with a one-hour money review.

It’s simple. It’s fast. And it always brings clarity.

Here’s how to do it.

So Lets dig in

My One-Hour Money Review

Block out 60 minutes this week.

Just one focused hour.

And here’s what I did…

1. Review your latest business spending.
I looked at the last 30 days.
→ What’s essential?
→ What’s a “nice to have”?
→ What’s just leaking money?

(You’ll be amazed the amount of things you’d forgotten you’d signed up to or had on auto-renew! 👀)

2. Cancel or downgrade one cost.
Choose one cost that doesn’t match your current goals.
This could be:
→ A subscription you don’t use
→ A tool your team’s stopped logging into
→ A contract that could be renegotiated

3. Identify one opportunity to increase revenue.
Look at your current offers, clients, and systems.
Ask: Where is money being left on the table?

This might be:
→ Re-following up on old leads
→ Re-sending a past offer to your list
→ Creating a simple upsell or bundle

Honestly, its wild how often we don’t repeat the things that worked.

That one offer, email, or call that brought in leads or cash?

Do it again - this week.

To be clear - this is not about becoming a finance guru.

It’s about leadership.

Andy sanity.

Smart leaders check their numbers.

Great leaders take action based on what they find.

You don’t need to overhaul everything.

✅ Just cut a couple of things that you don’t need anymore
✅ Spot one revenue opportunity
✅ Take one action by Friday.

That’s momentum. That’s clarity.

That’s you, stepping into CEO mode.

You’ve got this always.

I’m cheering you on

On Focus on the Fun Stuff this week 🎙️ 

This week on Focus on the Fun Stuff, I sat down with someone who’s been through it all.

High-growth success, near financial collapse, and the insane challenges of launching a business during a major global crisis... Twice.

Ouch.

James Cole, founder of Panache Cruises and previously Cruise 118, is a proper entrepreneur.

He started Cruise 118 in 2008, right before the financial crash and very nearly went under. James isn’t a quitter though, not by any stretch of the imagination, and he came out the other side with a business generating over £100 million in revenue and he exited 10 years later.

Fast forward to 2020 and he does it all again, launching Panache Cruises in the first few months of Covid 😱

Yes, a brand-new cruise company, right when no-one was allowed to set foot on a cruise ship.

But it’s worked.

James’s story is one of grit, resilience and being real about what makes a business work.

And he got super real in the episode - click HERE to listen to it!
