Better in Business EP82 - Profit is not the money in your bank account

More sales can actually make a cash flow problem worse. If money is already tied up in unpaid invoices, stock, debt or upcoming obligations, more work can mean more pressure — not more breathing room. That’s why understanding where the money is going matters just as much as making it. In this month’s Better in Business podcast , Jen breaks down how to read what’s really happening inside your business before assuming the answer is simply “sell more”. Because profit can tell you one thing while your bank balance tells you another — neither gives you the full picture on its own. 🔊 Listen in and make sense of the gap. — 🔖 Your Workpaper: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Y0qWch_rxnaIpQ7Mb2yzJAAAuKMmC33/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=113093325365831479816&rtpof=true&sd=true 👉 Want to hear more from Jen?

Better in Business EP81 - Business Foundations Part 6: When the Plan Changes

Sometimes the smartest move in business is not pushing harder. It’s recognising that the plan has changed — and changing with it. In this week’s Better in Business , Jen unpacks what happened when the episode she had planned suddenly couldn’t go ahead, and how that moment became a lesson in staying focused on the outcome instead of getting stuck on the route. It’s a conversation about knowing when to persist, when to pivot, when to let go, and how to keep moving without treating every change of direction like a failure. Because growth in business isn’t just about bigger goals or bolder moves. Sometimes it’s about becoming the person who can stay clear-headed when the plan changes. 🔊 Listen now. — 🔖 Your Workpaper: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18Yh7uOXIheH3otgNjY_TNFhhlAex8NfG/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=113093325365831479816&rtpof=true&sd=true 👉 Want to hear more from Jen?

Better in Business EP80 - Business Foundations Part 5: Learning To Lead Yourself

One of the best things you can do for your business? Hire people who are better than you. Not people who simply take tasks off your plate — people who bring something to the business that you can’t. Building a great team isn’t about finding more versions of you. It’s about bringing together the right people, and then becoming the kind of leader who helps them do their best work. In this week’s Better in Business , Jen continues our Business Foundations series with a practical look at leadership, management, culture and recruitment — and what it really takes to build a team that makes the whole business better. Because if you’re always the smartest person in the room, your business can only grow as far as you can. 🔊 Listen now. — 🔖 Your Reflection Workbook: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Whw67wphM7jJ8fXxIZvUtbpvTGN7Dpuyw6NXRBi0kRo/edit?usp=sharing 👉 Want to hear more from Jen?

Better in Business EP79 - Business Foundations Part 4: The Small Shift That Builds Momentum

Business doesn’t usually get lighter because you suddenly find more hours in the day. It gets lighter when you stop making every change feel so big. In this week’s Better in Business episode, Jen continues the Business Foundations series with a practical conversation on perspective, habits, and Jeannie’s simple filter: Do it. Delegate it. Delete it. It’s a helpful listen for the busier seasons of business — when there’s a lot to carry, decisions are coming thick and fast, and it’s easy to feel like everything needs your attention at once. Because, staying steady in those seasons doesn’t always require a big reset — sometimes you just need a clearer view of what actually belongs on your plate.

Better in Business EP78 - Business Foundations Part 3: Protecting Your Best Work

Your best thinking time is not unlimited. There’s a point in the day where your focus is sharp, your decisions are clearer, and the important work feels easier to move. And then there’s the point where your brain is technically still working… but your best energy has already been spent. In Part 3 of our Business Foundations series, we’re talking about real productivity — not doing more, but learning when you work best and protecting that time. Because the work that grows the business should not be left until the end of the day, when you’re running on scraps.

Better in Business EP77 - Business Foundations Part 2: Why You’re Not Getting Things Done

Some decisions are costing you more than you think. Not because you made the wrong one, but because you haven’t made one at all. The conversation you keep avoiding. The client issue you keep tolerating.The change you know needs to be done. That quiet loop can drain more time, energy and momentum than most business owners realise. In this week’s Better in Business Podcast, Jen breaks down the five mindset hurdles that quietly shape the way business owners lead, decide, and show up. Not theory. Not fluff. A practical conversation to help you spot the pattern earlier — before it keeps costing you time, energy and confidence.

Better in Business EP76 - Business Foundations Part 1: The Starting Point Problem

Jen works with business owners who are capable, experienced, and hardworking… but still feel stuck. The common thread? They’re trying to fix outcomes without fixing the thinking driving them. So they add more tools. More systems. More structure. They stay busy. They keep tweaking. And yet nothing sticks. In this week’s episode, Jen breaks the pattern: If you don’t fix the starting point, nothing else holds. She walks through the order that actually works: Mindset → Productivity → Mechanics Get this right, and decisions get clearer, confidence increases, and progress finally follows.

Better in Business EP74 - When Delegation Creates Risk in Business

Most business risks don’t come from bad decisions. They come from assumptions . Assumptions like: “It’s being handled.” “Someone else is across that.” “My accountant will pick it up.” In this week’s Better in Business podcast, Jen unpacks how those assumptions form — and where they can quietly expose your business over time. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about knowing what still sits with you as the owner. This short yet punchy episode is a calm, practical look at where risk can creep in — even when you’ve “got help” — and what protects you before issues become costly.

Better in Business EP73 - Before Setting Your Goals, Do This

January has a way of making business owners feel like they need to move fast — lock plans in, push ahead. Go. Go NOW. Before you do, it’s worth slowing down just enough to set goals that actually fit the business you’re running. Not just the revenue you want, but the time, energy, and systems you realistically have. In our latest Better in Business Podcast episode, Jen shares the one step to take before setting goals — the step that helps avoid overcommitting, chasing the wrong numbers, and ending up more stretched than last year. Don’t lock goals in until you’ve heard this. Listen now 🎧 — 👉 Want to hear more from Jen?
