👀 Be honest… when was the last time you properly reviewed your business overheads?

Not just glanced at the bank balance — actually reviewed:

💻 Software subscriptions
📱 Phone contracts
⚡ Utility bills
📦 Supplier costs

We’re seeing more businesses losing profit through small monthly increases that have slowly built up over time.

Sometimes the biggest drain on profit isn’t a major expense… it’s lots of little ones nobody questioned.

💬 What’s the most frustrating “hidden” cost increase you’ve noticed in your business recently?

We’ve shared some practical ideas in our latest blog to help business owners spot overhead creep before it becomes a bigger issue.

HMRC recently announced that the approved work mileage allowance for the first 10,000 business miles has increased from 45p to 55p per mile 🚗

For anyone regularly using their own vehicle for work, that could add up to a noticeable difference across the year.

But here’s another question…

How do you currently track your business mileage? 👀

A surprising number of business owners and team members could be missing out on tax relief simply because they’re not tracking journeys properly.

Find out what the changes could mean for you:

Yesterday we talked about the dangers of saying:

“We’ve always done it this way.”

And it reminded us of a book we used to give to customers from the GreenStones office library:

📘 Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson

A brilliant little book about adapting to change and staying open-minded in business.

So, we’ve decided to give away 5 GreenStones stamped copies 👀

To enter:
✅ Follow GreenStones
✅ Like this post
✅ Comment with one positive change your business has made

We’ll combine all LinkedIn and Facebook entries and announce the winners next Thursday.

Good luck!

“We’ve always done it this way.”

Be honest… how often does that come up in your business?

It’s easy to stick with what’s familiar. But over time, those habits can slow things down more than you realise.

Better systems. Better tech. Better ways of working.

They’re all out there, but only if you’re willing to question what you’re doing now.

We’ve put together a short blog on why this mindset can hold businesses back.

👉 Read it here: https://www.greenstones.co.uk/the-danger-of-weve-always-done-it-this-way/

And if this topic sounds familiar… keep an eye on our social media tomorrow 👀

“We’ve always done it this way.” It sounds harmless. But in business, that phrase can quietly become one of the biggest barriers for growth.
