Doug Bennett interviews Rohit Maini, an award-winning business leader and fellow podcast host. Rohit shares his approach to business, combining compliance work with consultancy that truly helps clients grow. He talks about how he creates a trust based environment for his clients, why holistic goal setting is important and why self-care is a necessity for entrepreneurs and business leaders.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Rohit focuses on being a business growth partner rather than just handling compliance, actively helping clients with business strategy, acquisitions, and fundraising.
• Creating a relaxed, trust-based environment is central to effective client relationships; Rohit designs his office for comfort and conversation rather than formal meetings, allowing clients to openly share concerns and ambitions.
• Rohit's big hairy audacious goal is to make every SME in the world 1% better, recognising that the 5.5 million SMEs in the UK (99.8% of all companies) need greater support and representation on the global business stage.
• Effective goal setting must be holistic, connecting business targets to personal purpose; entrepreneurs should question the why behind numerical targets to ensure sustainable growth aligned with their true motivations.
• Small habit changes can trigger major lifestyle improvements, as Rohit discovered when a simple 30-minute morning walk created a cascade effect improving his mental clarity, work efficiency, eating habits, and overall motivation.
• Taking time for self-care isn't selfish but necessary. You can't give from an empty cup, and personal health enables better service to clients and family.
• Delegation is a critical skill for business growth, many entrepreneurs struggle with relinquishing control, but without delegating, they can't scale their business.
• Sharing both successes and challenges creates authentic connections, entrepreneurs should talk about their struggles alongside their highlight reels.

BEST MOMENTS

"We're certainly not stuffy accountants... We actually enjoy what we do, and we don't just file forms."

"I see myself as someone who's trying to help the business grow into the next level, not just sort of file and be the tax guy."

"For me it was that walk at 6 AM in the morning. It sounds a bit scary getting up that early, but to be honest with you, once you're out of your bed and you kind of walk, you kind of sleepwalk anyway."

"None of us are that important. To be fair, there's only a few really important people out there in the world. They tend to be brain surgeons, I would imagine, right?"
