Rob Spence was doom-scrolling Facebook when a post from Keir Starmer stopped him in his tracks, and not for the usual reasons. For once, something the Prime Minister said actually resonated. In this episode, Rob breaks down Labour's record on small business since taking power, reacts to Starmer's late payments post and the newly introduced Small Business Protections Bill, and gives his honest, unfiltered verdict on whether this is a genuine turning point or too little, too late.

Fair warning: Rob isn't here to do politics. But he is here to do business, and right now, those two things are impossible to separate.

Key Takeaways

• Labour's changes since taking power — NI hike, wage increases, SSP reform, business rate changes, dividend tax — have added thousands of pounds per year to the cost of running a small business.
• Late payments are a genuine crisis for small businesses. The domino effect of one unpaid invoice rippling through the supply chain is real and damaging.
• The Small Business Protections Bill has some genuinely useful measures, particularly the mandatory payment term limits. But several of these protections already existed in law — the issue has always been enforcement.
• Big firms will feel the pressure of the new legislation. SMEs, already squeezed by the government's own policies, are a different story.
• Rob's bottom line: welcome, but read the room. The business community needs costs to come down, not just another bill to add to the pile.

Eight and a half years into running his business, Rob Spence has identified one of the things that's held him back recently — and it's something he used to be brilliant at. Making decisions fast.

In this episode, Rob gets brutally honest about the fact that slow decision-making has started to stagnate his business. He backs up his gut feeling with research, quotes from some of the world's most successful business leaders, and a tangent about why he genuinely doesn't understand people who hate Amazon. As always, this is unfiltered, unplanned, and real.

Key Takeaways

• Slow decision-making doesn't just delay progress — it actively costs your business through stagnation, missed opportunities, and a compounding backlog of unmade choices.
• You don't need 90% of the information to make a good decision. 70% and moving is almost always better than waiting for certainty that never comes.
• Indecision doesn't give you a free mind — it fills it. Unresolved decisions quietly consume your headspace, even in your downtime.
• Empowering your team to make decisions isn't just good management, it's a speed multiplier. Approval chains kill momentum.
• The worst outcome isn't a wrong decision — it's no decision at all.

Why Are We Tied Down by our Emails and Inboxes?! | Episode Thirteen

A slightly different episode this week — Rob is recording from home (yes, ironically, the week after the WFH episode) because his partner has just returned to work and baby duty calls. The audio might not be quite up to its usual studio standard, but the conversation is every bit as honest.

The topic? Email. Specifically, the quiet, creeping obsession that turns a simple communication tool into a full-blown source of anxiety. When did we start feeling obligated to reply to emails instantly? When did the inbox become the boss? Rob unpacks his own complicated relationship with email, shares what he's done about it, and makes the case that most of us need to step away from the inbox — and stop apologising for it.

Key Takeaways

• Feeling obligated to reply to emails instantly is a habit — not a requirement. Most things can wait.
• Push notifications are productivity killers. Every coach, every performance expert, every high-performing business owner says the same thing: turn them off.
• Adding friction to your inbox (like Face ID) is a surprisingly effective way to stop mindless checking.
• The best test of email urgency? If it really matters, someone will follow up — or pick up the phone.
• Being an entrepreneur means you set the rules. You don't need to justify your schedule to your inbox.
• 
  

Rob Wants to Hear From You

Are you enslaved by your inbox? Have you found a system that works? Or do you think business owners should be checking emails constantly?

Drop your thoughts in the comments on Spotify — and let Rob know whether you think he's right or wrong on this one.

A Note on This Episode

This episode was recorded at home on a slightly different setup than usual — Rob's partner returned to work today (Wednesday 6th May) and he's on dad duty. Normal studio quality resumes next week.

In this episode, Rob Spence tackles one of the most hotly debated topics in modern business — working from home. In true From Bedroom to Boardroom style, this one is unfiltered, unplanned, and pulls absolutely no punches.

Rob openly admits to being a hypocrite: he loves working from home himself, but as a leader running a telemarketing business, he found WFH for his team added enormous pressure, constant check-ins, and a serious drop in accountability. From police misconduct hearings to a live Amazon search mid-episode, this is a candid, at times darkly funny, and genuinely thought-provoking look at why trust alone might not be enough when it comes to remote work.

What We Cover in This Episode

Rob's WFH Contradiction Rob sets the scene — he has a great home office, he's more productive when he works from it, and he gets all the benefits everyone talks about. But when his team started working from home? A completely different story. Constant report-checking, chasing people down, and an unmanageable workload created by the need to monitor others.

The Moment That Said It All A team conversation about WFH took a turn when a team member casually mentioned their dad places something on the keyboard to look active — and then just plays games on his phone all day. In front of the whole team. Rob explains why that moment cemented his position on WFH once and for all.

Leicestershire Police & A Pattern of Misconduct Rob shares four real-world cases of police officers — people who should, arguably, be the most honest and accountable in society — caught abusing WFH policies

The Mouse Jiggler Discovery (Live on Air) Mid-episode, Rob goes on Amazon and searches "mouse jiggler" — a USB device designed to keep your screen active and show you as "online" on platforms like Microsoft Teams. What he finds is eye-opening:

• Multiple products available, some as cheap as £5.99
• One product alone has over 5,300 reviews
• Another with 8,800 reviews had over 300 purchases in the past month alone
• Rob reads actual customer reviews — including one reviewer (let's call him Dave) who proudly declares the device "keeps the status light green and the bosses none the wiser"

The Bigger Picture If the people society trusts most — police officers — are faking their work from home, what does that say about accountability across the board? Rob argues that for every genuine, hardworking remote employee, there are far too many willing to exploit the arrangement. The result? More pressure on leaders, less trust, and a culture where the good workers are dragged down by the dishonest ones.

Are you pro-WFH or against it? Do you think Rob's being too harsh — or is he spot on? Are there genuinely great remote workers out there, or does laziness inevitably creep in?

Drop your thoughts in the comments on Spotify — Rob would love to hear where you stand on this one.

In this week's episode of From Bedroom to Boardroom, I talk openly about ongoing cases I have against people who are refusing to pay their invoices; and I know that this is a problem that many businesses and business owners face on a daily basis.

Should we, as a collective economy, allow for bad business owners to ruin it for the rest of us? Or, should we stand up, name and shame, and collectively stand up to the bullies of the business world?

One of the best books I have ever read was Managing Oneself.

This book reminded me of the importance of managing yourself like you would a business; delivering the best possible service, looking at revenue in to your 'business', monitoring expenses and costs, and ultimately doing what you can to take yourself to the next level.

In this episode, I discuss openly my fears for the next generation, how I managed myself professionally, and my recommendations on what we can all do to ensure a fair, even and equal workforce.

Can I be honest with you? Some of the hardest moments in my entrepreneurial journey haven't come from a bad month, a lost client, or a cashflow dip. They've come from the people closest to me telling me it wouldn't work.

Sound familiar?

In this episode, I'm talking about naysayers — and trust me, if you're building something, you've already met a few. Whether it's a family member who thinks you should "just get a proper job", a friend who keeps planting seeds of doubt, or even that little voice in your own head that starts to wonder if they might be right... this one's for you.

Here's the thing — naysayers aren't always bad people. Sometimes they genuinely care about you. But that doesn't mean you have to let their fears become your reality.

This is a topic I'm genuinely passionate about, and I think it'll resonate with a lot of you who are in the thick of building something brilliant right now.

Don't let anyone talk you out of your dreams.

Let me ask you something — have you ever looked at your bank account and thought, "I'm making sales... so why is there no money there?"

You're not alone. And in this episode, I'm getting into one of the topics closest to my heart (and honestly, one that trips up more entrepreneurs than almost anything else): cashflow.

I've seen it time and time again — brilliant businesses, great products, happy customers — but the cash just isn't there when it needs to be. And that's a dangerous place to be. So I wanted to have a really honest conversation about why cashflow is the thing you should be keeping your eye on, and more importantly, what you can actually do to fix it.

Grab a brew, get comfortable, and let's talk about it.

In this episode, I want to share with you my experiences of bad clients, bad customers; what they can do to a business, and what red flags to look out for them so you never get trapped with negative, toxic customers and clients.

I experience it so often:

I call into businesses, I call them up, I email them, or contact them on social media, and I end up walking away and debating my choice to work with that company.

I say that without an ounce of arrogance. I say it because the team member I end up speaking with has had no sales training whatsoever.

Worse than that, and this is happening more often than not these days, those team members haven't even had any basic customer service training.

If you look at the most successful companies and businesses in our history, they have all implemented solid sales training into their employment processes.

Even McDonald's crew members have sales training - and I will bet my bottom dollar they have sold to YOU, without you perhaps even knowing. In this week's pod, I talk about sales training, and customer service training, and I go into detail as to why you need to start training your team. Now!

Eight years in business.

Time really does fly when you are having fun!

I really cannot believe eight years have gone by so fast; I still remember the very first day of starting my new ‘job’.

Having that anxious, nervous feeling when I sat down at my desk, in my bedroom for the very first time.

Not only was I about to embark on my business venture, but I had effectively started a new life, and a completely different one to the one I had for over eight years previously.

In this week’s podcast, I talk openly about the feelings, thoughts and emotions that I went through when I set up my business, and how those first days went.

I like to say this every single year; thank you to everyone that has supported the business in any way shape or form over the past eight years. It truly, means a lot.

This morning, I woke up to an email that NO business owner ever wants to read:

Termination of service. It’s the kind of email I have received numerous times over the past 8 years of business, but, it still hits hard.

If you are a business owner, you will know the feelings and emotions that occur when you hear of a customer or client wanting to leave.

For me, it has become easier over the years. But, it still hurts.

In this week’s episode, I discuss the feelings and emotions of what happens when a client decides to leave, and I also discuss the steps I take when this occurs.

We all get opportunities thrown our way every single day.

Some of these opportunities are small. Tiny little opportunities that may go unnoticed.

Other times, these opportunities are huge. They are life changing.

Either way, I strongly believe that if we take on board any opportunity that comes our way, our lives will flourish.

So many people turn down opportunities and wonder why their life is stagnant. They wonder why their career has stalled. They wonder why their love life is dry.

And yet, when you look at it, the people that get out there, grasp every opportunity by the scruff of the neck, and just go with it, it’s always them that seem to go on to do good things.

Perhaps, this is YOUR sign to say YES to things, and most importantly, sit at the front.

In this podcast, I’m sharing the truth behind what it’s really like to build something from scratch — the emotions, the lessons, and the moments you don’t always talk about when you’re “meant to” be the confident business owner.

I started my business on an old desk in the corner of my bedroom.

Now, I run a company with two office sites, a boardroom, and a team of over 12 staff.

This podcast is a space for the real stories — from the last eight years of building my business, and the week-by-week experiences I’m still living through right now.

The hope is simple: that if you’ve ever felt alone in business, you’ll find some comfort here… and a sense of community too.

Because we’re not meant to do this on our own.

I see so many people start a business, and very soon get stuck in a job they create for themselves. For some people, this is absolutely fine, and works out for the best. For others, they soon feel a sense of resentment and perhaps disappointment towards what they have grown and built. After all, before long, you can so easily just end up swapping time for money. In this week's episode, I talk about how I turned my business from a job, and into a business.

I also discuss how you can stop trading time for money, and how you can grow your own enterprise.
