This morning, I came home to my dog losing her mind with excitement—running back and forth, grabbing her toy, acting like a puppy again.
Cute, right?
But here’s the thing: I stepped out again a couple of hours later…for one minute. And she did the exact same over-the-top welcome.
It got me thinking about business—and why being “more of the same” is the kiss of death.
In 1987, my football team won exactly one game.
Our coach thought positivity could save us. Spoiler: it didn’t.
So, what did a bunch of frustrated teenagers do? We turned our frustration in the wrong direction. Immature? Absolutely. But the lessons from that disaster of a season stuck with me for life.
Fast forward to 2025, and I’m sharing a very different kind of game plan for winning in business.
Aileen came to us stuck.
She needed to decide whether to invest in or divest one of her divisions—a decision worth millions.
In 60 minutes, she had her answer.

Delegation isn’t about “letting go”—it’s about leading smarter. Yet so many business owners struggle to step away because their team just can’t handle the load.

If your business depends on you for survival, it’s not sellable.
Here’s what you need to know to prepare for your moment:
Life doesn’t warn you when it’s about to change everything.
Most people live like tomorrow is guaranteed—but it’s not.
In my latest article, I dive into a critical question every business owner must ask themselves to safeguard what matters most.
This one shift could mean the difference between thriving in uncertainty—or scrambling to recover.
Because the best time to prepare isn’t after the phone call. It’s before.
Lose in the playoffs? Tough break, but you dust yourself off, train harder, and take another shot next year.

How different?
My first hit on the high school baseball team? A home run.
Sounds impressive, right? But what happened before that might surprise you. Let’s just say I wasn’t exactly team material when I started out…
It took a mentor, some tough lessons, and a total transformation to make it to that moment at home plate.
The same kind of transformation your business needs to break through to its next level. Ready to see how?
