Is your team busy… or are they actually getting things done?
Here’s the truth: most businesses don’t fail because of bad strategy. They fail because their execution habits are non-existent.
And that’s not on the team. That’s on you, the founder.
If you’re stuck firefighting, if priorities shift every week, if your team is “busy” but outcomes are flat, you’re not leading. You’re reacting. That’s the difference between companies that scale… and those hat stall.

Discover the 3 simple habits used by the UK’s fastest-growing SME teams to drive accountability, focus, and momentum.
At BizSmart, we’ve worked with hundreds of UK business owners scaling beyond £500K to £5M. The ones who succeed long-term don’t work harder. They build better rhythms.
And it always comes down to 3 essential habits:
1. 90-Day Planning - G90 Summits
Forget annual planning. It’s too slow. The real leverage is in quarterly execution.
Every 90 days, the best leaders hit pause and reset:
Review what worked, what didn’t, and what you’ve learned
Reconfirm your North Star
Set 5 to 7 business priorities
Align individual rocks to business goals
It’s not complicated. But it’s powerful.

2. Smart7 Weekly Meetings – Build Your Execution Heartbeat
One hour a week. Seven clear agenda points. That’s it.
Smart7 isn’t a fluffy team chat. It’s a high-performance rhythm designed to:
Surface issues before they explode
Reinforce team accountability
Keep rocks and actions moving forward
Identify one key challenge and solve it fast
If you think you’re too busy to run these meetings, that’s the problem.
❗ Make Smart7 sacred. Without it, your strategy will never touch the ground.
3. The “One Key Thing” and Focused Work Time
Most weeks disappear in noise.
That’s why at the end of every Smart7, each team member commits to one thing they’ll complete. Not a wish list. Not a vague intention.
One high-impact outcome, tied to a priority.
Then they block out 90 minutes of focused time to get it done. No distractions. No excuses.
You do this consistently and you build momentum. You shift culture. You scale.
🧠 Execution is about discipline. This is where it starts.
What Happens When You Build These Habits?
Your team stops reacting and starts owning
You spend less time chasing and more time leading
You make real progress, every week and every quarter
This is how small businesses grow up.
