By: Emma Mills
  • Summary

  • Welcome to "Focus on the Fun Stuff" the podcast where we dive into what it takes to focus on the things you love in your business and enjoy the journey.

    We'll explore how to get more of those days where you're in the flow, loving what you're doing and using your unique abilities and passions.

    Many business owners find themselves down in the weeds, overwhelmed, stuck at a certain revenue level, limited by team size, or constantly time-poor.


    Often, it's a combination of all these challenges.


    If you’ve ever looked at another successful, ambitious happy business owner and wondered ‘How did they do that?’

    I’ve totally done the same thing.

    And Focus on the fun Stuff explores how they did it.
