OPS STRATEGY AUDIT

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I’m putting it out there anyway.

Operations are important, they are the foundations of your business. Don’t slack on them.

Hey, I’m Katie… but who is that anyway?!

I turned 40 this year and celebrated in Cornwall, which felt exactly right. The plan is to end up there permanently. A little cottage by the see with the Hubby & Bear 🐻. No longer a dream, and actual plan.

Worcester born and bread (yes, like the sauce & yes I do have the staple sauce in my cupboard at all times) 🤣

Did the Australia thing in my 20’s and would go back in a heartbeat to re-visit, just not for the airport bit, that was a ball-ache! Now seeing the world with my hubby, every time it’s a new adventure!

The sea is my happy place. I’ll swim in it, sit by it, listen to it and hunt sea glass for hours like a magpie! Rivers and lakes? Nope. Hard pass, something freaks me out about them, not sure what, I appreciate it makes no sense 🤣.

Bear is my Cavapoo. Something has gone terribly wrong with the toy version I thought I was having, because he is a beast! But I wouldn’t change a thing about him.. well, maybe the stealing socks part 🤣.

I’m an introvert who thrives at home, ideally under a blanket, candles burning, with a good book. My only reading rule: If it doesn’t hook me five chapters in, I’m out!

I love the seasons but I am a full blown Autumn 🍂 soul. Until it’s Christmas 🎄 and then I’m Mrs Clause.

Bread baking calms me & quiets the noise.

I’m a proud passenger princess. The husband prefers to drive. Win win!

And what I do:
I come into your business, sort out the operations and help you make more money. Because, you’re really good at what you do, but you have no time or interest to implement all the moving parts and run it operationally, you need to focus on the big picture. I do the rest.

If you are still here.. tell me something about you! Let’s get to know each other better…

This is honestly what I am seeing in the businesses I work with right now & nobody is talking about it honestly. So, here I am.. 🙌🏻

The thing that’s making your brain work overtime isn’t the work itself.

It’s the fact that YOU are the system. (And systems don’t get to switch off.)

These four things won’t fix everything but they’ll start getting it out of your head and into somewhere that can actually hold it.

Save this one for when you’re ready to actually do it. 📌

Great fun this morning - with something a little different.

Everyone is allowed a holiday, so it’s great to help out by covering to allow business as usual in @theabisea membership group.

And also got to hear the awesome @heathers_hub talk all things podcast!

I spent a long time making myself smaller than I needed to be.

Quiet in rooms where I had something to say. Second guessing decisions I already knew the answer to. Keeping my prices low because I was scared people would not see the value. Telling myself I could not do something because the safe zone felt safer than the alternative.

And the one I am most honest about now…

I used to liquidate my personality in rooms full of people I felt intimidated by. Mirror them. Shrink. Fit in. Spend the whole time being a slightly diluted version of myself so nobody would notice I felt out of place.

None of it served me. None of it served my business. And none of it was true! 🙌🏻

The only person not seeing my value was me. The only person keeping me quiet was me. The only person who needed to back me was me. (Lightbulb moment!)

I stopped saying all of it because I realised the version of me that was holding back was not protecting me. She was just keeping me small.

It is still a work in progress. Some days more than others. But the rooms I walk into now, I show up as exactly who I am.

And the right people always notice.
