Five common pitfalls for small business owners

With over 20 years of UK business experience, I've become the authority on what I've coined "The Multi-Role Dilemma" - the overwhelming challenge facing micro-business owners who juggle CEO, marketer, accountant, and strategist roles simultaneously. Through four and a half years of research studying calendars and working patterns, I discovered that micro-business owners waste 35% of their time (compared to 23% in larger businesses) and 81% work over 45 hours weekly. Recognising that traditional business advice fails micro-businesses, I created The Yellow Mastermind - combining strategic mastermind groups, The Growth Chair method, Diary Detox coaching, and skills exchange programs. My clients achieve remarkable results: James tripled revenue and gained 3 days per week, Mandy increased revenue by 85%, and Adam recovered from lockdown with 70% revenue growth. I believe the UK's 5.5 million micro-businesses deserve better than generic advice. Based in Bristol, I'm on a mission to help passionate business owners build companies that serve their lives, not consume them.
