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.

    What happens when you stop working in your business and start working on it?

    In this episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff, Emma Mills sits down with Julian Stafford, entrepreneur, sales expert and former owner of Midshire Business Systems, an SME he grew to £35 million in turnover before exiting after 21 years.

    Julian shares how he built a business that felt like a hobby to him, why stepping away from the day-to-day sales became a turning point in its growth, and how surrounding himself with people who were better than him helped take the business to the next level.

    They talk about sales training, marketing, leadership, decision-making, building a sales team, owner dependency and what actually makes a business attractive to a buyer when it comes to a business exit strategy.

    Julian also shares the story of his eventual exit, including the moment he walked out of a negotiation at the Belfry when the buyer's figure wasn't quite what he expected, and how he now works as a business exit coach helping other owners get ready to sell a business of their own.

    🎧 Hit play to hear how to build a business that can grow without you, make better decisions faster, and become genuinely ready for an exit.

    What you'll take away:

    • Why stepping out of sales helped Midshire's growth accelerate
    • How to stop being the bottleneck in your business
    • Why you need people around you who are better than you
    • Julian's approach to making decisions quickly
    • How to market a "boring" product by selling the outcome
    • Why testimonials became the backbone of Midshire's marketing
    • How to build and manage a sales team from scratch
    • What makes a business genuinely attractive to buyers
    • How Julian approached the three-year exit negotiation process
    • Why you should build a business you actually enjoy running

    What if being busy is actually keeping your business stuck?

    In this solo episode, Emma Mills tackles one of the biggest traps business owners fall into: confusing being busy with being productive.

    Emma explains why constantly sitting in your inbox, chasing invoices, scheduling posts and dealing with admin can feel productive, but can actually stop you from focusing on the things that generate revenue, create opportunities and move your business forwards.

    She shares how she structures her own week to protect three full days for the work that only she can do and why creating space in your calendar is one of the most important things you can do as a business owner.

    🎧 Hit play to hear why being busy could be costing you growth, how to get out of the weeds, and how to start protecting your time for the work that really matters.

    What you'll take away:
    • Why being busy and being productive aren't the same thing
    • How busywork can quietly limit your business growth
    • How to identify the things only you should be doing
    • Why successful business owners protect their time
    • How Emma structures her week around high-value work
    • How to create more time for revenue, opportunities and growth
    • Why every hour you spend has a consequence
