I nearly didn’t post this one. It’s a bit more schmaltzy than what I usually post. 😳 But…

I care enormously about the wine industry. And I genuinely believe more of our wine businesses deserve to be profitable.

But sometimes I do wonder whether I’ve chosen a particularly difficult problem to build a business around.

Then someone I’ve worked with sends me a message that reminds me why I started doing this in the first place.

It doesn’t make all the doubts disappear.

But it does remind me that the work can make a difference.

So I carry on. 🍷

I knew a fair bit about marketing when I started English Wine Pro.

I knew considerably less about what it would actually be like to build a business in the wine industry. 🍷

Some things I’ve learned through experience.

Some I’ve changed my mind about completely.

And some would have saved me an awful lot of time if I’d worked them out earlier.

I mean, that’s one of the strange things about running a business. You’re expected to make decisions about things you’ve never done before, while simultaneously getting on with doing them.

Four years on, these are probably the things I’d go back and tell myself.

Especially the bit about self-flagellation. 😬

What would you tell yourself if you were starting your wine business again tomorrow?

Or if you want someone to think out loud with…

🍷 You probably could find more profit in your wine business on your own.

You know your business better than anyone else.

The difficult part isn’t having the information.

It’s finding the time to step back, look at it differently and ask the questions that are very easy to overlook when you’re busy growing grapes, making wine and keeping everything moving.

That’s exactly why I created the ‘Find the Hidden Profit in Your Wine Business’ Strategy Workbook.

To help you spot the opportunities that might already be sitting there.

Harvest is nearly here for many producers, so whether you spend an hour on it before things get busy, or save it for when harvest is over, you’ll finish with one clear commercial priority and a practical 90-day plan.

It’s £27. Less than a bottle of sparkling wine for a clear, ongoing strategy.

☀️ Whatever July and August look like for you, consider this a little reminder that you don’t always have to add something new.

Sometimes the most useful thing you can do for your wine business is stop, look at what you already have and ask what could be simpler, work harder or make you more money.

Especially when time and attention are in slightly shorter supply.

And if you happen to do be able to do that from a sun lounger, even better. 🍸🍹⛱️
