The Annoyingly Optimistic Show

Let me know how this helped you

Ever feel like you're just muddling along, barely keeping your head above water? Today, we explore the unsettling reality of a "zombie business"—a venture that's alive in name only, staggering through the motions without true momentum or growth. Imagine paying your bills, skimming by each month, but never actually getting ahead. If this sounds painfully familiar, this episode promises a path to reignite your spark and get you back on track.
Tim, our small business hero, has hit a rough patch, and I'm here to help him—and maybe you—escape the cycle of stagnation. We'll unpack the common pitfalls that lead to feeling stuck and offer actionable, optimistic advice to break free from the grind. Whether you're a small business owner or just someone in need of a fresh perspective, this episode is a treasure trove of inspiration and practical tips to turn your zombie business into a vibrant, thriving venture. Tune in and take the first step toward a more fulfilling journey.

The majority of 'business advice' out there isn't aimed at self-employed or micro businesses, following it leaves you frustrated and chasing quick fixes. I specialise in tools, systems, techniques, inspiration and help specifically designed for YOU, the person who has to do it all, who doesn't have a team of people, unlimited resources or the time to spend months learning complicated techniques.
