Author: John Lamerton & Jason Brockman | Ambitious Lifestyle Business Owners July 4, 2024 Duration: 44:33

Suzy Watson, founder of Explore Norfolk UK, discusses her experience with various online businesses, including network marketing, selling dog collars, and weight loss pills.

Suzy emphasizes the importance of passion in building a successful business and highlights the need for authenticity. She also talks about her membership of the One Percent Club and how it has helped her make incremental improvements in her business.

In this episode, We discuss:

❤ Why passion is crucial in building a successful business. Having a genuine interest and enthusiasm for what you do will keep you motivated and help you connect with your audience.

😇 How being true to yourself and your values will resonate with customers and build trust.

🤝 Why joining a supportive community, like the 1% Club, can provide valuable guidance, accountability, and ideas for growing your business.

📈 Making incremental improvements in your business every week can lead to long-term success. Focus on being 1% better each week.

📜 The Could Do List is a powerful tool for capturing ideas and creating a 90-day plan based on the most impactful ones.

Blocking out "1% time" each day to work on specific tasks can help you prioritize and move your business forward.


Hosted by John Lamerton and Jason Brockman, who are themselves ambitious lifestyle business owners, the Ambitious Lifestyle Business podcast is built on a practical, sustainable premise. It moves beyond the exhausting hustle culture to explore how consistent, manageable improvements lead to significant growth. The focus is on actionable strategies for attracting more customers and increasing revenue, but crucially, without simply trading more hours for dollars. Each conversation digs into the systems, mindset shifts, and marketing approaches that allow you to build a business that supports your life, not the other way around. You'll hear from the hosts' direct experience and from a variety of practitioners who prioritize efficiency and freedom. This isn't about theoretical fluff; it's about the real, incremental tweaks you can implement to create a more resilient and profitable operation. Tune in for a candid discussion on working smarter, where the goal is a thriving business that affords you the time and energy for the things that matter most. The Ambitious Lifestyle Business podcast offers a refreshingly honest take on entrepreneurship, proving that ambition and lifestyle don't have to be opposing forces.
