“Your business is not about tasks. It is about finding the big rocks to move the needle. And so much of what's on the task list does not create business.”
–Christine Campbell Rapin
Are you spending the time on the right things in your business? So many of us think that we could move faster if we just had more time. I’m talking to business advisor Christine Campbell Rapin about building a sustainable business.
It’s not about going in 150% all the time. It’s not about perfecting social. It’s not about being everywhere all the time. In fact, the most important thing for you to do might not even be on your to do list.
Christine shares the two essential things she thinks entrepreneurs need to focus on. We dig into the need to sell, into money changing hands. She asks: what can you do today that is simple, repeatable, boring, predictable, that moves the needle? Because movement is the key.
We talk about:
- Why posting on social media isn’t making an offer
- Asking: Who can I connect with today?
- Marketing is about moving the right people toward you (and the wrong people away)
- Building a circle of influence and controlling your digital footprint
- Why you need to make more offers than you are today
- Selling instead of creating something new

DOABLE CHANGES
At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens.
Even though we want big change, it’s really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect.
Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:
- HONEST ASSESSMENT. Take a look at your to-do list for your business and where you are spending most of your time. Is any of that making an offer? Is any of it moving the right people closer to buying? Then look at your audience. Are you talking to the right people?
- INCREASE YOUR CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE. You get to decide how you do this: networking, strategic alliances, partnerships. Pick something. Schedule time each week to reach out and connect with these people. Build...

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
