   When more marketing isn't the answer: the internal work behind external results

   When your business isn’t getting enough leads, clients or traction, it’s easy to assume you need a new strategy, a new platform or a new offer. But what if the real issue isn’t external at all? In this episode of Taking It Personally, let's explore how the common business problems, like inconsistent leads, poor conversions and platform hopping are often external symptoms of internal blocks. Things like self-doubt, indecision, lack of self-trust and an underdeveloped sense of personal leadership shape how you show up, the decisions you make and whether you stick with them long enough to see results. We look at: Why business owners default to tactics instead of examining their approach How mindset and self-leadership influence consistency, confidence and follow-through The hidden cost of constantly changing strategies, platforms or offers What it really means to ‘work a strategy until it works’ How to make grounded, intentional business decisions without spiralling or self-blame This conversation is not about blaming yourself, fixing your mindset, or ignoring practical skills. It’s about placing power back where it belongs (with you) so that the tools, strategies and platforms you use actually have a chance to work. If you’re tired of chasing the next solution, feeling at the mercy of algorithms or wondering whether you’re doing business ‘wrong,’ this episode will help you see what might actually need your attention. Because sustainable business growth doesn’t start with better tactics. It starts with building yourself as a business owner.

   The hidden costs of growing your business (and how to reduce them)

   As we settle into 2026, this episode invites you to take an honest, objective look at the real cost of not building yourself as a business owner. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unclear on direction, or unsure why your efforts aren’t converting into consistent clients or income, this conversation will help you understand why and what you can do about it. We explore what building the business owner actually means: strengthening your personal leadership, elevating your mindset, deepening your self-trust and developing the emotional skills that allow you to navigate the fast-moving online business landscape with clarity and confidence. Because YOU are the constant in your business. Everything else changes and evolves. When these internal capacities remain underdeveloped, this has financial, emotional and energetic costs… costs that will accumulate month after month: Missed or inconsistent income due to indecision or unclear focus Time lost to overthinking, second-guessing, Googling and switching approaches Emotional exhaustion driven by self-doubt and inner conflict Reduced energy for life outside business due to ongoing mental load We talk through why developing clarity, decisiveness, trust in your own choices and the capacity to handle the ups and downs of business is not optional for sustainable growth, it’s the foundation. You’ll also hear how personal development, mindset work and even spiritual practices can become powerful supports for your stamina, energy, groundedness and resilience as a business owner. Because the cost of staying stuck isn’t just financial, it can affect every part of your life. Join me on the show and let’s talk about it.

How you can do more good in the world, with special guest Marcia Dawood

Published 16 Jan 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And I have a feeling I could speak to you for about a week and a half with all the questions that I have bubbling around in my mind about doing good and doing well, but so why do we just start there? What do we need to understand about the role of investing in startups to contribute to positive change, plus potentially achieving a financial return to sure? So I really believed for a very long time that the way that I personally as an individual could do good was to either donate my money to charity or use my time for charity, which I absolutely still love and still do, and I'm a huge proponent of charities.
