Focus on the Fun Stuff

By: Emma Mills
  • Summary

  • Welcome to "Focus on the Fun Stuff" the podcast where we dive into what it takes to focus on the things you love in your business and enjoy the journey.

    We'll explore how to get more of those days where you're in the flow, loving what you're doing and using your unique abilities and passions.

    Many business owners find themselves down in the weeds, overwhelmed, stuck at a certain revenue level, limited by team size, or constantly time-poor.


    Often, it's a combination of all these challenges.


    If you’ve ever looked at another successful, ambitious happy business owner and wondered ‘How did they do that?’

    I’ve totally done the same thing.

    And Focus on the fun Stuff explores how they did it.

    Now, if you’ve ever wondered whether niching down is the right move for your business, this episode will give you all the insights you need. Ollie has gone beyond just picking a niche—he’s built a niche within a niche—and it’s led to some seriously impressive results.

  • Take Control of 2025 with Small Daily Habits
    Feb 7 2025

    Send us a text

    This week on Focus on the Fun Stuff, I’m taking a bit of a different approach—because the biggest business lessons I learned in 2023? They didn’t come from work.

    They came from my fitness journey. 💪

    Now, before you scroll past thinking this episode is all about gym routines and protein shakes—stick with me. This is about so much more than getting fit.

    In this solo episode, I’m sharing how stepping out of my comfort zone completely shifted my mindset—not just about fitness, but about habits, accountability, and business growth.

    💡 Here’s what I learned along the way:

    ✔️ The power of small, consistent actions and why they’re the key to long-term success

    ✔️ How tracking simple daily habits can completely change your results—whether in business, fitness, or life

    ✔️ Why stepping outside your comfort zone can unlock a whole new level of personal and professional growth

    ✔️ The importance of accountability—and how to set up structures that keep you on track

    This journey taught me so much about commitment, priorities, and the compound effect of small improvements—and whether you’re interested in fitness or not, I promise these lessons will apply to your business and life.

    🎧 Tune in now and let’s talk about how small changes can lead to BIG results!

    Have you ever stepped out of your comfort zone and found unexpected business lessons?
