I would do a 360 peer review and record calls going forward so you can track areas before making assumptions and firing. You’ll have HR case on your hands if you suddenly just fire. Understand that everything has a process.

I have 3 major strategies

1. Personal branding to document your journey
2. Messaging scripts that are personalised that can be sent on LinkedIn or any platform to drum up interest to request an email/appointment
3. Scale up activity by outsourcing the repeatable tasks so you can increase volume.

People who start a business to make money and look for the shiny penny that works often dont last long. I would focus on a problem that I’m trying to solve using my skills and knowledge and let that be the driving force of the business.

You’re better off buying a franchise coffee or dessert place, getting HSBC to arrange the finance for you and have a business that will actually provide you a solid roadmap to a successful coffee shop. In future you can always do the same but better to start off with the guidance and experience of a franchise like Black Sheep Coffee

I would reach out to other local businesses that want to add your business as a bolt on to there’s. As long as you have regular cash flow you can get your business valued and sold. I sold my first company for 6-figures at 18

Work with an influencer agency who understands your values and can help get you the right type of partnerships.

I’ve struggled with this for so many years but finally found a solution. I pushed all my morning stuff forward to make sure I go to the gym first before I started work. I bought meal preps to save me from cooking. There’s loads of amazing brands on instagram that could be more local to you.

The most boring businesses make the most money. I sold a graduate recruitment company at 19 because I was great at marketing to students. Also you can start something as boring as a cleaning company and specialise in offices or Airbnbs and make £5k plus a month in a matter of no time

I run an investment firm so my belief is that once you get to 10k you can utilise that to start taking the returns from investing and pay off your expenses month by month.
