概要

 Welcome to the Do More by Doing Less podcast with Charles Alexander, the show for Small Business Owners, Start Ups, and Busy Folks!

This is not another productivity, hustle, and grind podcast.

I literally want you to do less.

Many of us are overwhelmed, frustrated, and need a break.

The good news is that we can accomplish much more than now.

Once we focus on the vital few, and prioritize things that make our lives and the lives of people around us better, we can “do more by doing less”.

This podcast is funny, simple, and has real-world stories.

The episodes alternate between my solo podcasts and guest podcasts.

In the solo episodes I share stories and frameworks from my experience in coaching small business owners and my own entrepreneurship endeavors. Oh, and any other story that can get a laugh while sticking to the theme of the podcast😊

In the guest podcasts, I will bring on other entrepreneurs who will share their expertise and discuss their own methods for doing more by doing less.

That’s it.

  • Breaking Bad...Habits

    Breaking Bad...Habits
    2026/03/17
    In 2023, I had knee replacement surgery and I went in for several follow-up appointments.

    It seems like every time I go in for a follow-up appointment, they ask me these same 15 questions they asked me last time, because why would that automate and populate (something about HIPAA, blah, blah, blah 🤔.)

    I usually get frustrated, but once in a while, I don't mind it so much because I like answering some of the questions.

    Why?

    Because I've developed some better healthy habits later in my life than I had earlier in my life.
    • So, we'll, when the questionnaire says, "Hey, are you on any new prescription medications?", I get to check. Nope.
    • And if it asks me, "Have you had any additional surgeries or hospitalizations?" Sure haven't.
    • What about a smoker? Are you a smoker, Charles? Certainly not.
    • Then it gets to the question, "Do you drink more than once or twice a week?" And you know, I lie.
    There are bad habits that many of us have developed myself as well.

    have a ton of bad habits that I must continually figure out how to break.

    And a bad habit, once ingrained and once wired into us, kind of sticks around forever, until you remove certain cues or rewire it.F

    or example, I've turned into my dad.At night, 8:30 or so I sit down on the couch or rather the chair with the ottoman and try to watch TV with the family. Something usually wonderful like the Voice, God help us 🤣 and I'll pass out pretty quickly cuz you know, dad stuff.I remember my dad would do that as we were kids and I would try to change the channel and. He instinctively knew and would wake up and say, "Oh, Tom Watson's on the 18th hole. Put it back." How he did that, I didn't know. Now I do, that's called being dad tired 😴. But either way, it sucks and it's not a family-friendly thing to do.Another bad habit I have is grabbing a snack from the pantry if I see something tempting, like Pringles, or Tabasco-flavored Cheez-its.In our personal lives and in our businesses, recognizing the cue that causes the bad habit is the first step to breaking it.

    For instance:
    • If you have a bad habit of checking your email constantly throughout the day, you might need to change your environment by closing your email client or turning off notifications during specific work hours.
    • Another bad habit you might have in your business is if you've delegated a task to someone quite capable, but then you can't help but check in on them and then tell them how to do the task over and over. Instead, you need to give yourself a timeframe before checking in or have whomever you're checking in with sending you a mini-report.
    • Or better yet, if you're one of these folks that can't keep a lot of savings in the account because it kind of burns a hole in your pocket and you suddenly think of 15 more things you need to buy with that money. You may need to remove the app that allows you to check your account or keep a list handy of all of your upcoming expenses.
    Changing your cue, changing your environment.

    For me, I no longer sit on that same chair with an ottoman to watch these god-awful TV shows with my family. I'll sit on the ottoman most of the time and sit straight up.When I go to the pantry now, all of the snacks that I would normally get are now placed behind bins and I use MyFitness Pal.

  • Hustle Culture Doesn't Work For Me (or You)

    Hustle Culture Doesn't Work For Me (or You)
    2026/03/03
    Tired of hustle culture telling you to sacrifice everything just to “make it”?

    Show Summary:
    In this episode, I challenge the grind-at-all-costs mindset and explain why success does not require burnout, arrogance, or sacrificing your entire life. Using the classic stones, pebbles, and sand analogy, I break down how to prioritize what actually matters so you can build a successful business and still enjoy your life. The goal is not to reject ambition, but to align it with your real priorities instead of someone else’s version of success.

    Takeaways:
    • Hustle culture often glorifies imbalance and burnout.
    • You can be successful without sacrificing sleep, family, health, or faith.
    • Your “stones” are the few non-negotiables that make everything else work.
    • Many people overload their jar with pebbles and sand, then wonder why life feels chaotic.
    • Clear priorities create both progress and peace.

    Action For You To Take:
    Identify your top three “stones” in life and business. Protect them first each week. Then evaluate which pebbles and sand you can reduce, delegate, or eliminate.

    What To Do Next:

  • The Early Mistakes You Are Still Carrying

    The Early Mistakes You Are Still Carrying
    2026/02/17
    Why do two-thirds of small businesses fail in the first few years?

    Show Summary:
    In this episode, I break down the three patterns I’ve seen since I started coaching in 2007 that quietly derail entrepreneurs and busy professionals. The stats say only about 30 percent make it long term. From my experience, the difference usually comes down to experience, confidence, and planning. These issues start early, but if left unchecked, they follow you forever. The good news is each one is fixable.

    Takeaways:
    • A lack of continued experience keeps people repeating the same mistakes year after year.
    • A lack of confidence often grows from not recognizing what you already know.
    • A lack of planning turns every week into reactive chaos instead of intentional progress.

    Action For You To Take:
    This week, do three simple things.
    First, identify one skill gap and commit to learning something specific about it.
    Second, write down ten things you already know how to do well to rebuild confidence.
    Third, spend ten minutes planning your week around one clear priority.
