Are You Celebrating Wins—or Challenging Them?

Most owners end the year celebrating wins. Strategic owners go one step deeper — they challenge them. True reflection isn’t about replaying 2025. It’s about evaluating what those wins cost, which of them truly increased strength, and what needs to shift before you unintentionally repeat the same year. If the growth you achieved didn’t also make scaling easier, increase profitability, or reduce reliance on you — that’s not a win. That’s insight. The question isn’t “What did this year produce?” It’s “Did this year move me closer to my endgame?” When you're ready to move from reacting to day-to-day demands to leading with intention and value-building in mind — let’s talk.

Scaling Strategy to Win the Long Game While Playing the Short Game

Did you ever give your kids a candy bar or something when they're throwing a tantrum? I bet it kept them satisfied for a few minutes but didn't help in the long term.

I'm Not an Air Traffic Controller But...

I'm not an air traffic controller, but I can imagine the stress of your job. You're constantly trying to keep track of everything that's coming at you from all directions and making sure it lands where it needs to go. If one thing doesn't land exactly right, then you have a disaster on your hands. Sound familiar? That is what running a business feels like!

Follow Up Or Lose Them?

You talk with a client or prospect, issues come to light, you may or may not make promises, but the key question is do you follow up?

BREAK THE RULES

I read an article in Forbes magazine that shared the results of a study on New Year’s resolutions. It showed that less than 25% of people stay committed to keeping their goals after the first 30 days, and of those only 8% achieve them. Why such a dismal percentage? In general, I believe people set goals for themselves and their businesses based on what they feel they should strive for and NOT what they WANT to strive for. This is where I think we should break the rules. Set your goals based on what you really want.
