Ever tempted to make a quick buck? Does making 10% more on a deal make sense 100% of the time?
We thought we had a good partnership—until a sudden change made us rethink everything.
It wasn’t the money that left a bad taste, but the mindset behind it.
What’s worth more: a one-time gain or a long-term relationship?
One decision can cost you far more than you imagined. See how easy it can be to fall in that trap.
Ever get the urge to just tell someone off—whether it’s a playground bully or a demanding client? My 5-year-old daughter mastered the “teacher voice” and got her peace.
One of my clients?
She fired her biggest (and worst) customer, and within 30 days, she had three better ones.
Business freedom is about choosing who deserves your time. Curious how to make that leap?
Being a business owner can feel like you’re on an island. Your friends and family don’t quite get the mental ups and downs, and somehow, you’re working harder than anyone, yet paying yourself last—if at all. Sound familiar?
But here’s the thing—you don’t have to go it alone. The smartest entrepreneurs know where to turn for insight, support, and the right questions.

Ever been promised 1,000 leads without anyone knowing who your ideal customers are? Sounds impressive, but is it really worth your time?

Two women, one having travelled across the world in search of investors, left a meeting before realising the person they needed was sitting right next to them. Sounds strange, doesn’t it?
It’s a story of missed opportunities, the price of a limited perspective, and how what we don’t see might be precisely what we need.
Curious about how this unfolded and the lesson it holds for business success?

Tired of your business feeling more like a job than a wealth generator? In just 3 simple steps, you can turn things around.
It’s time to stop managing the day-to-day and start creating real wealth. Want to know more? Start with a simple blueprint to build a business that works for you.
My dream as a business owner wasn’t to spend every waking hour buried in busy work. Yet, that’s exactly where most business owners find themselves—grinding away in tasks that don’t build value or wealth.
Just remember: Time is your most valuable asset, and every hour you spend on low-level tasks is an hour you’re losing to grow your business into a wealth-generating machine. Stop treating your business like a job, and start leveraging systems, delegation, and strategies that free your time and create real value.
The shift is simple—stop doing what others can do, and start focusing on what only you can. That’s where the wealth is.

What would you do if your top client was more trouble than they’re worth? This week, we explored the bold move of firing a #1 customer who drained resources and blocked better opportunities. Would you have the courage to cut ties with a PIA client? Caroline and Susan’s story is fictional, but the lessons are real. Sometimes, letting go is the key to unlocking growth, as Renee discovered in a true story.
Caroline had enough. An 8 a.m. meeting, endless waiting, and then… she did the unthinkable. For the first time, Susan was left speechless.
What did Carline do to her biggest client? And why did she feel freedom instead of fear?
How do you handle your most difficult customers, especially when they start affecting other opportunities for your business? Caroline was at a breaking point, torn between a demanding client and a crucial new deal. How do you discern and what freedom do you have when it comes to who you do business with? It’s a theme we touch on this week and in part 1 of this series.

Today’s not just another Tuesday.
It’s St. George’s Day—the story of a man who stood his ground, defied the empire, and became a legend.
Most people remember the dragon.
They forget the courage.
And that’s exactly what most founders forget too.
The businesses that lead? They stand for something.
The ones that fold? They tried to please everyone.
Here’s why standing your ground might be the most valuable move you make.
You didn’t miss the exit.
You just kept telling yourself it wasn’t time yet.
Until suddenly… it was too late.
Most business owners don’t crash and burn.
They slowly wear down—working harder, earning less, and watching the business slip away while they keep saying:
“Just a bit longer.”
This post isn’t about planning.
It’s about what happens when you don’t..
You’ve sacrificed.
Pushed through setbacks.
Bled for the business.
But when it’s time to walk away—will it live on without you?
Or will it die the second you step back?
Most business owners don’t have an exit.
They have a slow death.
This week brought a powerful reminder of what real triumph looks like—
And what happens when you don’t build for it.
When I was 12, I snuck a pocket radio into church so I could listen to the Cubs game during Holy Thursday service.
My mom busted me.
I sat through the whole thing—and didn’t understand a word of it.
Now? I don’t miss a second.
And somewhere in that shift…
There’s a powerful lesson most business owners are still missing.
Your business is profitable.
Maybe even 7 or 8 figures.
But here’s a tough question:
What happens if you disappear for 30 days?
Does the business keep growing?
Or does it fall apart?
There’s a simple test I call Freedom Math—and most founders don’t like their score.
If you’re thinking about selling your business “someday,”
This is the equation you need to solve first.
You’ve built a 7- or 8-figure business.
Profitable. Growing.
But when it’s time to exit?
Most owners don’t get the deal they want.
Many don’t get a deal at all.
Not because the business isn’t successful…
But because it doesn’t work without them.
If you’re banking on a future sale—this is your wake-up call.
The #1 question buyers ask isn’t about your story.
It’s about their risk.
His company hit $10M in revenue.
And then… a car accident.
In one moment, it was all gone.
Not because the business failed.
But because it couldn’t survive without him.
This isn’t a dramatic story. It’s a common one.
And the lesson he learned the hard way?
I’m giving it to you right here.
If your business still depends on you…
You need to read this.
She came to the event knowing no one there could help her.
She showed up anyway.
Another guy skipped it because “only 5 people” were attending.
Guess who walked away with a powerful new connection?
This isn’t a post about networking.
It’s about what really creates leverage in business—
and why some people miss it entirely.
I break it down here.
