Don't Work Harder is a show about taking bolder, braver moves in your small business. Made by ATOMIC, and hosted by Suman Randhawa, Don't Work Harder is the show for business owners who are doneâŚ
I noticed a trend that employment and working hard isn't going to get you to financial freedom.
I thought the only solution to a problem was work harder, do more, do it myself.
I had to learn the hard way that my mentality was holding us back.
There's quite a lot that goes into a business.
It's all encompassing, right? We change constantly.
Our business changes constantly.
We change.
When I need to change, I'm changing.
I'm not hanging around for anybody.
The biggest change was changing my mindset.
I realised nobody was going to come and save me.
Why do I have to follow the norm? Why can't I be who I want to be?
working less means also working with more focus.
If you only focus on one thing, you run the risk of kind of just being in this loop cycle.
You're in this kind of cycle that feels impossible to get out of.
The easiest way to do it is just de-risk it.
There's always going to be positive and negative.
I try to look on the positive.
If you just throw out noise, you actually cannot build long term from that.
If you're just there patting yourself on the back saying, we're brilliant at this running a business thing, you're never going to improve.
Last night we rolled over the ÂŁ2 million revenue for 2025.
I
think first of all you've got to know what you're asking for and be very specific.
Is anyone going to die? Am I going to die? No.
Just bloody ask, like what's the worst that can happen?
Closed mouths don't get fed.
If you're not asking for the thing that you need, then you're not going to get it.
