How One Question Can Change Your Life | Sarah Davies | Baskets of Knowledge #211
What if one question could change the way you make decisions, build your business and approach your life?
In Episode 211 of Baskets of Knowledge, we sit down with Sarah Davies, entrepreneur, business coach and founder of Beyond the Hourly Rate, to explore the power of having one clear focal point.
Sarah has used this simple idea to move from England to New Zealand, build and sell businesses, navigate motherhood, relocate to Singapore and climb the tennis rankings.
Her question? “Will this get me there?”
But this conversation goes much deeper than setting goals.
Sarah shares why having a strong reason behind your goals matters, how your values can guide difficult decisions, and why the people you surround yourself with can shape the life you create.
We also explore one of the biggest mistakes business owners make: assuming they know what their customers want.
Through her proof-first methodology, Sarah explains how asking better questions and speaking directly to potential clients can reveal what people actually need, value and are willing to invest in.
In this episode, we explore:
• How to find your focal point and turn it into a practical roadmap
• Why curiosity beats assumptions in business
• How to identify your ideal clients and understand what they really want
• The role of personal values in decision-making
• What moving countries can teach us about identity, relationships and belonging
• Why energy management matters as much as time management
• How to build a business that supports the life you want
Two powerful takeaways: get clear on where you want to go, and get curious before deciding you already know the answer.

4 Credits Short of University: Finding Your Voice & Taking the Next Step | Navneet Kaur
What happens when the future you thought you had planned suddenly changes?
For Navneet Kaur, it came down to four credits.
After working hard through Year 13, Navneet thought university was the obvious next step. Then her results came out. She had passed NCEA Level 3, but she was four credits short of University Entrance.
Her first thought was: “I’m a failure.”
But that setback became the beginning of a very different journey.
In Episode 210 of Baskets of Knowledge, Navneet talks openly about university, disappointment, confidence, finding your voice, young leadership and what happens when you start putting yourself into rooms where you don't necessarily feel like you belong.
We get into the moments that shaped her, from discovering new interests after missing University Entrance to GirlBoss, youth leadership, LinkedIn, public speaking, political engagement and learning to deal with nerves and uncertainty.
And there is one theme running through all of it:
You don't need to have your whole future figured out to take the next step.
Nav puts it simply:
“You miss the shots you don't take.”
And:
“Closed mouths don't get fed.”
This is a conversation about resilience, self-belief, personal growth, career direction, confidence and finding the courage to put yourself forward.
If you're feeling behind, questioning your next move or waiting until you feel ready...
Press play.
You might look at your own setbacks differently afterwards.
