    The Hidden Cost of Comparing Your Business to Others

    Ever found yourself scrolling through social media, seeing another equestrian business celebrating a fully booked diary, a sold-out launch or a growing team, and suddenly questioning how well your own business is doing?

    You're certainly not alone. But comparisonitis can do far more than knock your confidence. It can actually start influencing the decisions you make in your business, and not always for the better.

    In this episode of the Equine Business Podcast, we're continuing our Business Muckout series and tackling the habit of comparing our businesses to everyone else's.

    Because here's the thing. Just because another business looks successful from the outside doesn't mean it's more profitable, more sustainable or even more successful than yours.

    We're looking at how comparison can lead you to question your prices, copy somebody else's marketing, chase opportunities that aren't right for you and lose sight of what you're actually trying to build.

    In this episode, we explore:

    Why a fully booked diary doesn't necessarily mean a profitable business

    How comparing yourself to competitors can influence your pricing and marketing decisions

    Why copying what's working for somebody else could actually damage your own business

    The difference between researching your competitors and allowing them to dictate your decisions

    Why bigger doesn't always mean better when it comes to business success

    How to turn comparison into useful inspiration rather than self-doubt

    Why defining your own version of success is so important

    Whether you're a riding instructor, equine therapist, livery yard owner or running an equestrian product business, this episode is a reminder that you don't need to build somebody else's version of success.

    You need to build a business that works for you, your customers and the life you want to live.

  • 257 - 248: Muck Out #1 - Fear of Failure in Your Equestrian Business

    The Fear of Failure Is Often Just Fear in Disguise

    In this solo episode, Jenni Bush kicks off the new Business Muck Out series by unpacking fear of failure, fear of success, and the habit of assuming the worst before anything has even happened. She explains why setbacks are often feedback, not proof that you are bad at business, and why progress gets easier when you stop expecting perfection.

    Jenni also shares a real example from her own business launch, showing how disappointing results can still reveal what needs fixing, especially around positioning, timing, and messaging.

    This episode is aimed at equine business owners who want a more practical, less emotional way to respond to things not going to plan.


    Key topics

    Jenni introduces the Business Muck Out series, a 12-part reset for business owners who want to clear out unhelpful beliefs, habits, and thinking patterns.She challenges the tendency to assume failure before taking action, asking whether the real issue is fear of failure, fear of success, or simply trying to stay safe.Jenni explains how imagined outcomes—like nobody buying, nobody booking, or people judging you—can stall business decisions.She argues that business growth requires stepping out of the comfort zone, while still making informed decisions rather than reckless ones.Jenni shares a personal launch example: 180 people registered for the Equine Business Boot Camp, but six joined the collective. She explains how she reframed the result as useful feedback rather than total failure.She reflects on how positioning, messaging, and launch timing affected the result.Conversations with past clients helped Jenni identify what they valued: community, approachability, practical tech support, and connection.She introduces her Raise the Bar framework, built around beliefs, actions, review, and redo—and connects it to tracking numbers and learning from data.Jenni warns against shiny object syndrome and encourages business owners to improve what they already have before chasing new strategies.She encourages listeners to break big goals into smaller steps, using her own goal of reaching £10k months as an example.

  • 256 - I'm Back! And We're Having a Business Muck Out


    Introducing the Business Muckout: A New Series for Equestrian EntrepreneursJoin us as we tackle the baggage holding your business back.

    Well, hello. It's been a while, hasn't it? The last time I recorded proper episodes for the Equine Business Podcast was back in March. I’ve been eager to bring the podcast back, but I wanted to do something a little different this time.

    As the seasons change, I believe there's no better moment to dive back in. Many of you have shared that you listen while mucking out, driving, or juggling the many tasks that come with running an equestrian business. So, I’m excited to introduce a new series designed just for you: The Business Muckout.

    This isn't about grabbing your wheelbarrow and fork—though, let’s be honest, that’s a familiar sight. Instead, we’re going to clear out some of the beliefs, habits, and assumptions that might be weighing you down in your business. Over 12 episodes, we’ll tackle one topic at a time, addressing the baggage that keeps us stuck.

    Our first topic? The big one: fear of failure. It’s something that can paralyze us, making us question every decision we make. We’ll explore what happens when it feels like everyone else is more successful and why we often feel we’re not good enough.

    I have a whole lineup of episodes planned, each filled with insights to help you clear out what’s holding you back. Whether you’re driving to your next client, pushing a wheelbarrow, or finally settling down with a cup of tea, I can’t wait to embark on this journey with you.

    And remember, if you know another equestrian business owner who could benefit from a good muckout, send them this podcast. We've all got a few things we could stand to clear out!

    Looking forward to tackling this first topic with you—fear of failure and what if it all goes wrong. See you in the next episode!

  • 255 - [GALLOP] P: Equine Business Profitability: Is Your Business Making the Money You Want?

    Your equestrian business can be busy, bringing in sales and attracting customers, but does that mean it's making the profit you want?

    Turnover and profit aren't the same thing. And making more sales isn't always the answer to improving your financial results.

    In this episode of The Equine Business Podcast, we're exploring Profitability, the sixth and final pillar of my GALLOP framework.

    If Profitability was one of your lower-scoring areas in the Equine Business Health Check, this episode will help you look at what might be behind that result.

    It doesn't automatically mean your business isn't profitable. You might be earning well but want a better understanding of your numbers, more confidence in your pricing or a business model that supports your future goals.

    In this episode, we'll explore:

    What you actually want your business to give you financially

    The difference between sales income, business costs and profit

    Whether you know what your business is earning and keeping

    How you're setting prices and whether they reflect your costs and goals

    Whether your business model can support the income and working hours you want

    How beliefs about money, charging and what equestrian customers will pay might influence your decisions

    I'll also share an example from my own bridal jewellery business and why comparing your prices with somebody else's isn't always helpful.

    We'll use my BAR framework — Beliefs, Actions and Results to look at the financial results you want, the decisions you're making and what might be influencing those decisions.

    By the end, you'll have a clearer idea of what you need to investigate before making changes to your pricing or business model.

  • 254 - [GALLOP] O: Equine Business Organisation: Are Your Systems Working for You?

    How much time do you spend looking for information, remembering things or repeating jobs that could be easier?

    Getting organised in your equestrian business doesn't have to mean complicated software, colour-coded spreadsheets or perfectly tidy paperwork.

    It's about having systems and processes that actually help you run your business.

    In this episode of The Equine Business Podcast, we're exploring Organise, the fifth pillar of my GALLOP framework.

    If Organise was one of your lower-scoring areas in the Equine Business Health Check, this episode will help you understand what might be behind that score.

    Because you don't need to be naturally organised or particularly good with technology to run an efficient business. You need ways of working that suit you and what your business needs.

    In this episode, we'll explore:

    Whether you can easily find the information you need

    How you're keeping track of enquiries, prospects and follow-ups

    Whether important tasks are being missed or taking longer than necessary

    The recurring jobs and processes that could be made easier

    Whether your current systems still suit the size and needs of your business

    How perfectionism, procrastination or beliefs about being disorganised might be influencing your actions

    Using my BAR framework — Beliefs, Actions and Results, we'll work backwards to understand where your business organisation might need attention.

    You might discover that a simple notebook or spreadsheet is doing exactly what you need.

    Or you might spot a process that's costing you time, creating unnecessary work or making it harder to deliver the experience you want.

    The point isn't to get organised for the sake of it. It's to make running your business easier.
