Mark is an entrepreneur who walks the walk and amongst many business exits grew and scaled Cardpoint in 6 years to £100 million revenue and £20 million EBITDA!

This episode is packed full of real life stories of what Mark looks for in a business, how to grow and exit and why he took a trip to the US for business inspiration

🎧 Here’s what you’ll take away:

✨ How to keep finding inspiration in business, even when you feel out of ideas

✨ Why listening to customers is the key to your success

✨ The secret to bringing your team along on the journey, keeping them productive, happy, and focused on growth

✨ Why getting your business model right is non-negotiable—and how higher barriers to entry can actually set you up for success

Emma dives into a topic that’s very often overlooked but is a key skill and strategy for business and life success: Following Up.

Emma reveals how transforming her approach to follow-up resulted in more sales, stronger relationships, and ultimately, more time to focus on the work she loves.

Not just in business either. Following up in life is just as important. We all become more disconnected with technology and I believe that following up is the key to happy, fulfilled lives.

🎧 What you’ll learn in this episode:

✨ Rediscovering Joy in Follow-Up: Why consistent Follow Up is essential for both business success and maintaining meaningful connections.

✨ Breaking Barriers: How Emma overcame her own struggles with Follow Up and created a system that got me out of the weeds and into rhythmic sales from less leads

✨ The 3C Follow-Up Framework: A simple yet powerful approach—that ensures no opportunity is missed.

✨ Real-Life Success Stories: Emma shares how systemised Follow Up helped her turn leads into loyal clients, even years later.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by Follow Up or worried about missed opportunities, this episode will change how you think about it. This episode was designed to inspire you to make Follow Up a key strength in your business.

In this week’s episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff, I’m joined by Mark Burgess—founder of Iceberg Digital, best-selling author, and successful entrepreneur.

The thing I loved the most about Marks episode was his honesty and his take on how to actually use your company values to make sure you have the right team members in the right seats - and how to exit them if they're not

Mark shares fascinating insights into how our brains chase dopamine hits and how to harness this natural drive to build positive habits and create a fulfilling work-life balance.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll discover:

✨ How to exit team members who don't share the mission with you

✨ How to recognise unconscious triggers and use them to build better habits

✨ Effective delegation when you want to get involved in everything

✨ The importance of aligning core values with company culture for lasting success

Marks episode is super practical, down to earth and very honest on how he has focussed on the fun stuff in his business and life. I know you'll love it 🎙️
