Welcome to this week's episode of the Future-Proof Your Business Podcast.

In today's episode, I'm super excited to welcome the wonderful Caro Syson as my guest.

Caro is the founder of Pocket PA that she describes as the only tool you’ll ever need to manage your business. Caro shares with us her journey and motivation for developing her app and why she is on a mission to help as many sole business owners to thrive.

We chat about all the things you need to juggle and think about behind the scenes when you’re running a business, and discuss some key strategies that help you to show up in the right way and keep going, even when times get tough.

In today's bonus episode, I want to share with you a short exercise that encourages you to look more holistically at your life, to be more intentional about how you want your life to be and helps you to create more balance.

I’m introducing you to a very simple tool called The Wheel of Life, that will enable you to identify the 8 key areas and aspects of your life where you feel you might want to focus, and then create a plan to bring them to where you want them to be.

This is the perfect time to think about where you want your small business to be and where you want your life to be at the end of 2023.

In today's podcast episode, I invite you to get intentional about the year ahead and ask yourself:

• What is your vision for your business in 2023?

• How do you want your business to look and feel?

• What are the things that are going to bring you joy and make you smile?

• How can you build a business that works and feels good for you?

• What are your four key areas of focus?

• What are the things that might get in the way and how can we best prepare for them?

• What are your non-negotiables?

• What do you need to put in place to make sure you are looking after yourself and protecting your energy?

In today's episode, I’m talking you through an exercise that I love to do at this time of year with my clients and for my business where we can take some time out and reflect on the last 12 months.

I want to encourage you to pause, take some time out to breathe and to reflect and finish the year in a way that feels good, that allows you to enjoy the festivities, recharge your batteries and be in the best place to move into the new year.

In this week’s episode I invite you to ask yourself some key questions and see what comes up for you and what you notice.
