Welcome to Building a Bigger Table…

The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. 

 

In This Episode:

Welcome back, folks. In episode 5 of the Building a Bigger Table Podcast I want to talk to you about how to juggle rather than struggle. And let’s face it, as entrepreneurs, juggling is in our DNA and the truth is it’s something we have to do …

… but I’m a firm believer that struggling is a choice. I’d even go so far as to say that some of us wear it as a badge of honour to prove how hard working we are. This episode is here to disprove the need for that.

In it, I share my top tips for how you can stop the struggle and get your life back, while still building your business. I want to help all of you who are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, exhausted, and pulled between personal and professional commitments - and show you that there really is a better way.

Tune in to hear the story of my struggle (something I don’t share often) … along with handy habits you can start applying today that have helped me take control of my life. I’m diving deep into single parenthood, why saying no to one thing means saying yes to another, and how sometimes finding a blend is better than balance. If you’re trying to be everything to everyone, and do all of the things all of the time … this episode is for you.

 

Key Takeaways:

The juggle is real, but the struggle is optional

Helpful habits you can adopt today

Blend is more realistic than balance

The more you outsource, the more time you get back

 

Quotes:

“If we truly want to learn how to juggle and not struggle, guess what? The first thing we need to do is get out of our own way.”

“If you were doing a workshop, or a webinar, or a Facebook live and people were counting on you - you'd show up. You wouldn't move it. So why move your time with yourself or your family or your friends?”

“Remember, every time you say no, you get to say yes to something that you really want to do.”

 

Meet Your Host:

Hi, I’m Shaa.

I’ve been called a serial entrepreneur … but I’ve never been one for labels! I’ve done SO many things in my career, including starting and scaling multiple 7 figure businesses, and am grateful for being recognised with some lovely awards - most proudly, an MBE from The Queen “for Services to Business and Entrepreneurship”.

I’ve been featured in major publications for my efforts (named one of the UK’s Top 20 Most Influential Entrepreneurs by The Sunday Times and one of the ‘Most Influential Women in the UK" by the Institute of Directors), and have written 4 straight-talking, bestselling books; Stop Talking, Start Doing; Stop Talking, Start Doing Action Book, Do Less, Get More; and most recently, How To Fix Your Sh*t.

Shaa is the original misfit, maverick and magic maker. 

Despite an Economics degree from The London School of Economics and a proud recipient of an MBE from The Queen, her real talents come from the school of hard knocks.

Shaa’s first book, "Stop Talking Start Doing" became WHSmith's #1 Bestselling Business Book for 14 months in a row, breaking all industry records. 

Shaa has never been one to sit on the fence or rest on her laurels and today her sole mission is to level the playing field and create real social mobility for all.

The Sunday Times recently named her as “One of the top 20 most influential entrepreneurs in the UK”.
