As a mum, lawyer, business owner, and founder of Ready to Boss Legal, I’ve learned some of my biggest business lessons in the most unexpected places. One of the most recent lessons did not from a courtroom, business deal or a contract, but from watching my teenage son Oscar tear up the track at an athletics carnival.

And it reminded me of a fundamental truth that every small business owner needs to hear:

When you spread yourself too thin, you do things moderately well. But when you focus on the one thing you do best, you create something extraordinary.
