the ACTUALLY four fs challenge

When you look at all the training and courses out there for business owners, it might seem as though the ONLY measure of success is money. ‘Seven Steps to Seven Figures’. ‘Make Your First Million’. ‘How to Make £10k a Month in 10 Minutes a Day’.

Well, as my Mum used to say: ‘If it seems too good to be true, it’s probably [ahem] nonsense.*’

As is so often the case, Mum was right. Not only do these programmes vastly understate how much actual work goes into building a business that turns over that kind of revenue, they also overlook the fact that success is not ONLY about money.

At Actually we do things differently, and I’d love you to do things differently too. I’m not opposed to making money. Of course not! We all want to make money, right? But there is more to a successful business than raking in the cash.

That’s why my motto for Actually this year is: ‘Life first. Wellbeing always.’ Because you (and I) did not leave behind toxic corporate cultures, recover from burnout or take the giant leap into working for ourselves just to become a different kind of stressed-out ‘wage slave’ inside our own businesses.

To quote my Mum once more: ‘S*d that for a game of soldiers.’**

So I am running this five-day challenge to show you a different way to look at your business, using the Actually Four Fs framework. It’s the tool I use with my clients (and on my own business) to check that we are building something that is fun, fulfilling, flexible AND financially rewarding.

Here’s how the week runs:

• • Day 1: Fun
  • Day 2: Fulfilment
  • Day 3: Flexibility
  • Day 4: Financial reward
  • Day 5: How to apply your results. Plus the fifth F: Foundations. 

Every day at 1pm UK time, I’ll be live in the Actually Making a Difference Facebook group.

Why register?

Anyone in the group can follow along. But if you register, you’ll also get:

• • The Four Fs workbook, in your inbox the day before we start
  • Recordings of every session to keep, even after the lives come down from the group, so you can repeat your review every year if you want to!
  • An invitation to the Welcome Party on Zoom (Sunday 15th November, 7pm) and a live Q&A with me (Friday 20th November, 7pm)
  • A chance to win one of our daily PRIZES

Let’s make 2027 the year your business becomes a true ‘lifestyle’ business: one that enhances your life, supports your wellbeing and brings you a sense of fun every day.

So, if you want the best experience AND a chance to win some fabulous Actually prizes, you might want to hit the big orange button below. Just a thought.

**No, I don’t know what it means either, but you catch my drift, right?
