A new business strategy is like a diet. Part 2 💡 The universal rule (sharing some insights from the personal experience of dieting and strategy consulting) The core mechanism of any diet is simple: create a calorie deficit and maintain it for an extended period of time. Basically, you sacrifice your current habits for a future outcome — be it a certain weight, body shape or state of health. 💡 Similarly, a new business strategy often begins with cost-cutting or revising investment plans to adjust cash flow for future results. But just as our bodies want to return to their comfort zone after a diet, your employees tend to return to old spending habits and practices. The challenge is to stick to the strategy for the long term. Without commitment and discipline, you run the risk of falling back to square one. In addition, if you are on a diet and ban yourself from your favorite foods or demonize entire food groups, you are more likely to give up. So it is better to try to allow yourself to enjoy these foods in moderation within your calorie limits. 💡 The same applies to business: when you are revising your processes, you should consider what brings you and your team joy. If you leave these elements out altogether, it could lead to burnout and a drop in morale.

Building a company is like raising a kid, when you are doing what you love and believe in, every little step the company takes fills you with extreme joy, sense of accomplishment and pride. And then comes those days when everything is going wrong, clients are not answering fast enough, your sure thing is not so sure, you lose a couple of good talents for no reason that you can change and you feel like this is too much. At the end of it, it's the ups and downs, the opposites that show how much success is great and that finish line when the business is ready to drive itself with minimal involvement from your side, you know that this is the right path

The power of consistency, how easy do you find it? Running a business can be incredibly rewarding, but let's face it—it can also be exhausting. Recently, I received a grant for business growth from Mid Devon’s Prosperity Programme, which includes six months of business strategy support for my nutritional therapy practice with the fabulous Emma Rowland and a comprehensive marketing audit with the amazing Louise Gregson-Williams. One key takeaway that I've been reflecting on over the last week is the power of consistency. Over the years, I've struggled with this, often chopping and changing my messaging when I didn’t see the results I hoped for. It’s easy to feel the need to pivot when things aren’t working, but I’ve learned that constant changes can actually have the opposite effect. This lesson isn’t just relevant in business. Many of my clients have tried different health apps, supplements, and techniques, only to feel overwhelmed when they don’t see quick improvements. So, what do you do when motivation stops, and you're not seeing the results you want? The answer lies in staying consistent, even when progress feels slow. Sometimes, the biggest breakthroughs come just after the point where most people give up. Keep going—you might be closer to success than you think. If you need accountability and support in staying consistent with what you eat, I’ve created The Glow Programme just for you. It’s designed to help you eliminate those 3 pm energy slumps and gain clarity on how to sustain your energy levels throughout the day. Let’s work together to reclaim your energy and keep you on track. Find out more here (https://lnkd.in/eFbSRsFg)

It’s funny how we have Billions of $’s of Industry’s built solely on complicating simple things. let me tell you how.. 🤔 🏃Health - major results come from moving more, meditating & eating right; but, immense confidence on “untested nutraceuticals” exists. 💰Wealth - major results come from focusing on business fundamentals, sectoral performance.. but, immense confidence on “how to cage multibaggers” exists. 💡It’s quite simple - anything which complicates is never a real solution. And, all that’s needed is relentless execution on the simple basic stuff. 😊

I’ve helped countless purpose driven executives and entrepreneurs get into elite shape. Here are the 6 mistakes that are keeping you from losing that last 10-15lbs and operating at peak performance. 1. Following restrictive mainstream diets like keto or intermittent fasting that are unsustainable for business owners and executives who have high career demands.  2. Performing mostly cardio based workouts that leave you drained and lowers your metabolism.  3. Being unprepared with a nutrition game plan when you travel for business so you end up guessing and gaining 5lbs or more. 4. Not knowing what food choices to make at business dinners to stay on track so you either eat chicken and broccoli or go off your plan and lose progress.  5. Following cheap cookie cutter weightlifting routines that don't improve your shape and leave you looking the same. 6. Following low calorie meal plans that cut carbs leaving you feeling exhausted during the day and struggling to sleep at night every time you try to lose body fat. Here’s the truth… If you’re an executive or business owner who has been crushing it in your career but know you aren’t living to your fullest potential and you're tired of not having a body that matches your career success it's time to take an approach that actually fits your busy lifestyle. Here's how to start - Give my page a follow and let's connect. I post daily content and host weekly live masterclasses where I will teach you how to: - Burn fat without restrictive diets so that the results are sustainable and you can enjoy variety at business dinners. - Build muscle with as little as 3 workouts per week without doing hours of cardio so you can focus most of your time on fulfilling your purpose.  - Improve mental clarity so that you can perform and have an edge over your competition without relying on excess stimulants that aren’t good for your health so you can stay healthy as you age.  - Eat more food to lose body fat using our Metabolic Improvement Macro Strategy so you never have to fear putting the fat back on. So if that sounds interesting follow my page and send me a connection request.

Great to work with Claire Thomas whose action taking is second-to-none in order to move things forward. I always admire how my clients really know their stuff and Claire’s approach to nutritional therapy and wellbeing transformation is no exception. When she is working, she looks at the whole person and her response is rooted in science, personal experience, and complete compassion and understanding for where the other person is at. We worked together to unstick areas of her marketing that were giving her a headache , stripped activities out that weren’t serving the business, and realigned her approach so that she prioritises the most significant activities first that will make more of an impact. Since our call she’s taken on new clients and you can see from her content that she has renewed determination for where her business is trying to get to. It’s all about effort in, results out rather than meaningless vanity metrics that don’t necessarily equate to new business. #ClientRecommendation #ClientCaseStudy #ClientTestimonial #MarketingStrategy
