Business owners need their own 'wheel of life' because your business makes up so much of your life. The traditional wheel misses what actually matters when you're running a business - like cashflow, time freedom, and whether you even enjoy what you've built.

So I created one specifically for business owners. We'll start the exercise together in this episode, and you can download the full PDF to complete it yourself.

By listening [and taking notes], you’ll learn:

• Why the traditional wheel of life doesn't work for business owners
• The specific areas you need to assess in YOUR business
• How this exercise reveals what's really working (and what's not)
• Why you should do this BEFORE setting your 2026 goals

If you want your business to bring you profit, peace and fulfilment, not just look good on paper, this episode is for you.
