You're Not Bothering Anyone: The Follow-Up Episode Every Business Owner Needs
In this episode, Debbie Bailey tackles one of the most overlooked parts of running a business: follow-up. From the sofa cleaner who lost two years of repeat bookings to the window cleaner who drove past the same house for two years without ever knocking, Debbie shares real stories that show exactly what it costs when we don't stay in touch.
She breaks down who you should be following up with (it's a longer list than you think), why most of us don't do it, fear of being annoying, fear of rejection, or simply no system and how to reframe all of it. Plus the "I don't have time" myth, thoroughly busted.
If you only take one thing away from this episode: follow up. It's that simple, and it works.

The KPI mistake That damages growing businesses
Most managing directors at the £1–5m stage are chasing one headline number.
Revenue.
Growth.
Cash.
And that appears to make sense.
But when you focus on one KPI in isolation, you can hit it and still damage the business underneath it.
In this episode, I break down:
Why growth without guardrails can erode profit
What happens when behaviour is driven by narrow measurement
The gym example: revenue up, retention ignored, profitability under pressure
Why corporates never look at a KPI in isolation
You don’t need a complex dashboard but you need to understand what your headline number is and what sits beside it to protect the business long term.
If you’re leading a growing business and want more control without the read tape, this episode is for you.

Steal from Corporate: Risk for growing businesses
Risk rarely shows up where you expect it.
In this episode of Get Financially Fit, Debbie Bailey explores the kind of risk that sits quietly in the background while the numbers look fine, the sort that keeps business owners awake at 3am but never appears in the P&L until it’s too late.
Drawing on a real client story and her experience in corporate finance, Debbie explains how larger organisations think about risk as design, not fear and how MDs of £1–5m businesses can apply the same thinking without adding layers of process or complexity.
You’ll hear why unmanaged risk often shows up personally before it shows up financially, how simple structural decisions can create calm, and the one question Debbie would ask if she were sitting next to you as your Finance Director.
This episode is for managing directors who want to grow their business without carrying all the risk themselves.
