We’re tackling that nagging feeling that might be familiar to you (it certainly was for Sarah): “Why am I still stuck on the hamster wheel after hitting my revenue goals?”
Thankfully, it’s not you, it's the gap between “success” and “freedom.”
Here’s whats dropping this episode!
- The Freedom Gap DefinedWhy landing your first $100K or hiring your first team member can feel like a cage, not a launchpad.
- Small Shifts, Big ResultsHow Vietnam’s transformation of Fansipan mountain taught me that 20 years of incremental upgrades (from a gruelling hike to cable-car convenience) mirror the way our businesses must evolve.
- Communication 3-Step ProcessThe “third step” of communication ensures that your team hears the same message you send, eliminating costly miscommunications about who does what when.
- Redefining Success MetricsBeyond revenue: measuring wins in health (Jonny’s 80 kg milestone!), relationships, and your calendar’s Done by Three lens.
- The Done by Three LensBlock your week around real freedom, time, creative space, and energy-restoring rituals rather than chasing “more.”
“Most of us overestimate what we’ll do in a year but underestimate what we can achieve in ten.” It’s a favourite quote for a reason, you are expecting too much in the short term and not aiming high enough long term. Stop taking score too soon.
Vietnam Reflections: From scaling Fansipan at 3,170 m to tackling your business focus on stacking small wins daily.
Miscommunication Lesson: Flat walking track ≠ flat motorbike ride 🚲always check for understanding.
Health as a Business Metric: Why your spouse’s well-being (and yours) belongs on the scoreboard.
Audit Your “Over-Functioning” Zones: Identify three areas where you disproportionately invest time and energy without a payoff and eliminate or simplify them.
Calendar Freedom Block: Schedule a tech-free morning or afternoon for reading, reflection, or just doing nothing.
“If I Were Starting Today” Test: For one task or system each day, ask: “Would I build this if I were starting from scratch?” If not, delete it.

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.
