Surprising Business Lessons From Learning To Lift Weights

Thank you for all the love and support in my journey to rehabbing my frozen shoulder and tackling my peri-menopausal weight gain head-on.

In this episode, I share my current journey with you a little deeper, there's some pretty vulnerable moments, but I'm here for every other post 40 women who needs to hear this stuff!

I knew my health journey would teach me a lot about myself, but I am surprised by how much it's taught me and reminded me about how to run my business.

So much so, how I lift weights is also largely how I am approaching running my business this year.

Simple, repeatable actions led by the data.

Summed up in 5 lessons for you.

1. Set achievable goals.

2. Have simplified systems that you can stick to.

3. Have the basics and foundations right first, even if it's boring.

4. Track the data.

5. Be here for the long game.
   

I also want to add – do not do it alone. It is fair to say Rhiannon Fitness is changing my life. Find her on Instagram here - https://www.instagram.com/rhiannonjohnsonfitness/

Set goals, set intentions, make plans, be open to all the unknown that is on its way, or go with the flow; however, you approach the start of a new year is welcome, simply do it your way.

2026 is the year of the fire horse, and in terms of numerology is a 1 year; the vibe is certainly momentum and new beginnings.

My experience of improving my health has taught me that being very focused on exactly what you do want and sticking to a simple, actionable plan is very powerful.

This is my 2026 vibe: to be very focused on what I do want and stick to the plan, with plenty of space for the yet unknown to appear.

I have plans based on exactly what I know I do and don't want.

But I also have questions about things I do not yet know the answers to, and probably for the first time in my life, I am at peace with not knowing all the answers.

2026 for me is all about simple repeatable actions to make the dream real.

I'd love to be part of making your 2026 dream real. I know I can't do it alone; I will always have a coach or mentor by my side guiding me, or invest in the actions in my business, I know I need support with.

I would love to support you -

What a year!

2025 has been the year of the snake, the shedding of what no longer serves you.

For me, it has been the first full year where I've navigated officially having two businesses. Amy-Yoga, my training business, and Amy Jones Mentor Ltd, business strategist and mentor for female founders.

Growing my new business and sustaining the old has not been a straight line, alongside life that life us all!

This is the story of courage, of throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks, to getting things massively right and massively wrong.

I find myself at the end of 2025, very proud of how I have navigated it all and if I am honest, a little scared, as the turnovers of my businesses have literally swapped around!

If 2026 is a new beginning, a one year, it certainly feels like I am stepping out into a new unknown.

For the most part, this is exciting!

If listening to today's episode, you realise that trying to navigate entrepreneurship alone is madness, and you want a mentor who knows her stuff, who walks her talk and has a massive heart - I am your girl!
