No One Prepares You for What Running a Business Really Takes || If It Is To Be, It Is Up To Me

"It does take your life over.” The business had become 24/7. The more it grew, the greater the pressure became, and when you’re right in the middle of it, it becomes incredibly difficult to see clearly what’s happening around you. That’s where Steve came back into Nigel’s story. Nigel says he was struggling with structure, goals and knowing how to take the business to its next stage. Working with Steve helped him put things into perspective, create more clarity around where he wanted to go and introduce the discipline and accountability needed to move forward. In this episode of If It Is To Be, It Is Up To Me, Steve and Nigel talk honestly about business pressure, delegation, resilience, self-belief and why success can come with a much greater personal cost than most people expect. They also get into one of the biggest questions behind the podcast: What does success actually cost you? Nigel’s journey is another example of the work Steve now does with business owners: using his own experience of building and exiting a £20m business to bring perspective, structure and accountability when it’s difficult to find those things yourself.
