You don’t need more hours. You need clearer decisions.

If you are constantly stretched, revisiting the same problems, or delaying choices, the issue may won’t be time.

Start by identifying what keeps getting pushed, delayed, or reopened. That is usually where the real bottleneck is.

Ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand. We do though.

It's a myth — they never actually do it. But many of us who run a business are pretty good at it. Which is exactly why this book stopped us in our tracks.

This month we read The Diary of a CEO by Steven Bartlett. Picked it up expecting business strategy. Got something far more useful instead.
What surprised us 🤔

How little of it is actually about business. Most of it is about your mindset — your beliefs, habits, the stories you tell yourself. Strategy changes with the conditions around you, so the real edge is the mindset underneath.

What we learnt 💡

His take on persuasion reframed how we think about hard conversations. Never open with "I disagree" — the moment you do, they stop listening. Start with what you agree on, then bring your point in. Sounds simple. Changes everything about how a tense conversation goes.

What we needed reminding of 🔁

The ostrich thing. When it gets hard, the instinct is to go quiet — avoid the invoicing, put off the call, wait until you're through the busy season. You're never through the busy season. The danger doesn't go — you just come up more exposed.

Our rating: 8/10 ⭐
Easy to finish, short chapters, big font. Readable in a day or two. The mindset reframes alone make it worth it.

So — what part of your business have you been keeping your head in the sand about?

If you want a space to actually look at the hard stuff — that's what we're building at 6:AM. DM us HEADS UP and we'll tell you more about how we can help you.

It creeps in. Changes in your routine. The way you're linking with people. How you're taking care of yourself.

By the time you name it, you're usually already in it.

This is a flashback to a conversation I had with Maria Hilhorst a wee while back — different business for her then (she's now Maria from but the signs she talks through are just as relevant today.

Fieldays traffic: 0/10. Thinking time: 10/10. Here's what 3 months of building two businesses from scratch actually taught me.

Somewhere between Te Puke and nowhere, I had a proper think.
Three months of relaunching 6:AM and building LeadOut from the ground up — and honestly? A few things surprised me.

About what actually converts. About what AI is quietly bringing back. And about why getting help sooner is the smartest thing you can do — for your business and your brain.

I talk through all three in the video. Worth a watch if you're in a building season right now. 👆

The thing you want to change — you already know what it is.
The part nobody talks about is what comes after that realisation.
Because wanting change is easy. Having the conversation that actually creates it? That's the bit that keeps most people stuck.
Whether it's with your boss, your team, your business partner — or yourself.

The most growth I've ever seen in a client doesn't happen in the strategy session. It happens the moment they decide the discomfort of the conversation is less than the cost of staying quiet.
Watch this one. Then send it to someone who needs to have a conversation they've been putting off.

Your numbers can't work for you if the foundation isn't right.
One of the most common things we hear from business owners is some version of this — "I set up Xero when I started and kind of just… went with the default." 🙈
And honestly? That's completely normal. You were busy getting the business off the ground. Xero was ticked off the list and you kept moving.
But here's the thing — your chart of accounts is the backbone of your entire financial picture. If it's not set up to reflect your business, your reports won't reflect reality. And that makes decision-making so much harder than it needs to be.
We get asked about this a lot, so we made a short video walking you through how to set up your chart of accounts in Xero properly — in a way that actually makes sense for your business.
👇 Watch it, save it, share it with whoever needs it.
And if you've watched it and thought "okay, but I still need a hand with mine" — that's where Kylie steps in.
Kylie is here to guide you through any of your Xero set ups or queries, from chart of accounts to whatever else has been sitting on your to-do list a little too long. No judgement, just practical help from someone who genuinely knows her stuff. 💛

Even we can't escape this one. And trust me, I tried to argue this one , when I first heard about it 😅

Content switching. It's not multitasking (yes, there IS a difference) — it's when your brain has to fully stop one task, shift gears, and start up on something completely different. Over and over again throughout the day.

On averge this costs you 26 mins. Every. Single. Day. Every. Single. Time.

Now I know what you're thinking — but we're better multitaskers than men. And honestly? You're probably right. But content switching isn't multitasking. It's the sneaky one. The tab-switching, email-checking, Slack-glancing, "I'll just quickly reply to this" kind of brain drain that quietly eats your most productive hours.

So here's what actually helps 👇
→ Dedicate a day per business or project.
If you're across multiple businesses or projects, give each one its own day. Your brain can go deep instead of constantly resetting.

→ Set email hours at the start and end of the day — and that's it.
Not every 10 minutes. Not the second your phone buzzes.

→ Block hours to work on ONE thing.
Pick the task. Block the time. Everything else gets muted. Single-focus work is genuinely a skill — and it compounds fast.

→ Know your priorities — and protect them.
This one's big. Other people's urgency is not your emergency. When you're clear on what matters most today, it's a lot easier to say no to the thing that just pinged, the "quick favour," or the meeting that could've been an email. Hold your boundaries. Your priorities deserve the same respect you give everyone else's.

You don't need more hours. You need your hours back.

Save this for the next time you catch yourself with 14 tabs open and somehow nothing done. 😂

Most business owners aren't short on ideas or drive.

Are you someone who always has multiple things on the go?

Are you the person constantly coming up with new ideas and getting them partially going? Or maybe you just love having lots of diversity in your life and business?

Honestly… same 🖐️

I love learning new things, exploring different opportunities, and I’ve always had a million ideas on the go. But over time, I’ve learnt there really is such a thing as too much diversity.

As Maria says in this episode:
“Diluted focus creates diluted results.”

That line hit hard.

This conversation is for the big thinkers, the multi-passionate people, and the ones trying to figure out how to channel their energy into what actually moves the needle.
