About this listen

 Welcome to the Do More by Doing Less podcast with Charles Alexander, the show for Small Business Owners, Start Ups, and Busy Folks!

This is not another productivity, hustle, and grind podcast.

I literally want you to do less.

Many of us are overwhelmed, frustrated, and need a break.

The good news is that we can accomplish much more than now.

Once we focus on the vital few, and prioritize things that make our lives and the lives of people around us better, we can “do more by doing less”.

This podcast is funny, simple, and has real-world stories.

The episodes alternate between my solo podcasts and guest podcasts.

In the solo episodes I share stories and frameworks from my experience in coaching small business owners and my own entrepreneurship endeavors. Oh, and any other story that can get a laugh while sticking to the theme of the podcast😊

In the guest podcasts, I will bring on other entrepreneurs who will share their expertise and discuss their own methods for doing more by doing less.

That’s it.

  • How To Get Paid for What You Know In Less Time with Peter Thomson

    How To Get Paid for What You Know In Less Time with Peter Thomson
    May 13 2025
    What's the secret to getting paid for what you know, not just what you do?

    Join us as Peter Thomson, often regarded as the Brian Tracy of the UK, dives into the art of valuing your knowledge and transforming it into profitable business ventures. With a career spanning over five decades, Peter shares how he shifted from running Europe’s largest tracing agency to becoming a celebrated author and speaker under the Nightingale-Conant umbrella. This episode isn't just about learning to charge what you're worth—it's about understanding the true value of your knowledge and expertise.

    Takeaways:
    1. Value your time based on the revenue it generates, not just the hours you put in.
    2. Your fees should reflect the cascading impacts of your work, far beyond the immediate results.
    3. Turn your expertise into tangible products, like books, to solidify your authority in your field.
    And remember, it's not just about charging for the time you spend; it's about ensuring you are compensated for the comprehensive value you bring to the table.

    About Peter Thomson

    “People will never consistently do – who they aren’t”

    It’s true. And it’s what stops you and me and our fellow travellers from reaching the level of success we so richly deserve. There is a solution. Starting business on 2nd February 1972 as a Private Investigator. Then as an entrepreneur, moving through selling the early carphones, then setting up a leasing business which I sold for a few million and retired at 42. Since then, I’ve spent the last 30+ years helping fellow consultants, coaches and business owners to share their hard-won knowledge with a waiting world.

    As the UK’s most prolific information product creator and author (details here) I love seeing the light go on as my clients (and friends) realise just how valuable they and their ideas can be. And as they build businesses and lives of choice – I smile with them. Oh yes!

  • Taking the “Busy” out of Business - Paul Winkler Interviews Charles Alexander

    Taking the “Busy” out of Business - Paul Winkler Interviews Charles Alexander
    Apr 29 2025
     I am flipping the script a little on you today.

    Instead of doing a solo podcast here, I am being interviewed.

    I was recently on the Investor Coaching show with Paul Winkler, and no, I'm not talking about how to invest.

    He does an excellent job of going deeper than just discussing finances.

    It's a very popular radio show and a very popular podcast, and we're going to talk in depth about how to create time freedom for entrepreneurs.

    Busy professionals and nonprofit leaders, so take a quick listen in and listen to Paul's show, interview me, and I hope you enjoy it!

  • From Busy to Productive: How to Take Control of Your Workday with Kristen Lindeen

    From Busy to Productive: How to Take Control of Your Workday with Kristen Lindeen
    Apr 15 2025
    How can we work smarter and avoid getting lost in busy work?

    Show Summary:

    We’ve all had those days where we sit at our laptops, work for hours, and yet somehow accomplish nothing. In this episode, I talk with Kristen about how she sets boundaries, prioritizes tasks, and avoids getting sucked into an endless cycle of checking emails and scrolling. She shares how external accountability, batching tasks, and outsourcing have helped her stay focused while running a business and managing a household with four kids. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “busy” but not productive, this episode is for you.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Setting external accountability, whether from a spouse, coach, or group, can help clarify priorities.
    • Batching similar tasks together minimizes distractions and improves efficiency.
    • Saying no to extra commitments—even ones you enjoy—creates space for what truly matters.
    • Checking email or social media for a quick dopamine hit can derail productivity.
    • Eliminating unnecessary tasks makes room for deep, focused work and creativity.
    • Even small changes in how we structure our time can make a huge difference in what we actually get done.
