Celebrate or solve! 💡

During a recent Breakthrough Year cohort meeting, a member shared that he was spending way too much of his valuable time dropping off supplies at various job sites.

Another member offered a brilliant, simple solution: hire a retired person who would love driving around in a truck and handling those deliveries as a dream job! 🚚✨

It all comes down to shifting your mindset from "How do I solve this problem?" to "Who do I know that can help me solve this problem?"

This game-changing approach is what our meetings are all about!

If you had to start over, what would you do differently? 💡

Most business owners struggle to step back even after a decade because their business was never built to run without them in year one.

The key takeaway? Build the handoff from day one—not when you are busy, and not just when you think you can afford it. Start documenting your processes while they are still fresh so your business can scale and operate independently! 🚀

Want to transform the way you plan your week? 🗓️

Instead of overwhelming yourself with a long to-do list, pick two main priorities. Keep them where you can clearly see them and view everything else as optional.1

It might feel like you're doing less, but completing two key goals every week adds up to 100 major steps forward over a year—rather than 100 unfinished projects.

Remember: Two completed tasks are far better than ten attempts.

What two priorities are you focusing on this week? 👇

The number one mistake business owners make is believing they are the only ones who can carry the burden. While it feels like responsibility, it is often just pride.

Every owner who has broken through their ceiling did it by surrounding themselves with people who have already been in their shoes.

Going at it alone isn't a strategy—it’s just the default. Find your people.

Which approach sounds better to you? 🤔

1️⃣ A big push for three weeks that resets everything
2️⃣ One small habit you actually stick with for an entire year

Option one feels better in the moment, but option two is what actually creates real change. We usually pick the first one, even though it’s rarely the one that works!

Which one do you usually choose? Drop a 1 or a 2 in the comments below! 👇

Thinking about doubling your business overnight?

It's easy to picture the extra revenue, but don't overlook what happens behind the scenes: if you double your business without fixing your operational issues, every problem doubles too.

This is known as "duplicating dysfunction." Growth won't fix a bottleneck—it only exposes it.

✨ Key Takeaway: Fix your constraint before you feed your growth!

I am on a mission to get rejected every single day.

So I am at an event and I hear about the Womanition fashion show. Cultural fashions, models, the whole thing. And I put my hand up and offer to do an interpretive dance number. I asked them to check with Madam Briggs to see if she would approve it.

Everyone laughed. That was the point. Rejection number one, done before lunch.

Two days later I get a LinkedIn message.

I am in the show.

This is the problem with asking for things. Sometimes people say yes.

Big shoutout to Womanition

Tickets for September 23 are affordable. There is a reason for that.

Sponsorship. Someone believing in an event enough to help make it happen.

Gerry and Alex at Harvest Wealth Strategies invested in the venue and the speaker. Not for a logo on a banner. They did it because they believe the best investment you can make is in yourself.

That is a strange thing for a wealth firm to say out loud. It is also why we asked them.

Thank you Gerry and Alex.

The Power of Story. Matthew Pollard. September 23 in Edmonton.
