Okay, y’all. Think about this year for a minute. Who carried you?

I’ll tell you what I mean. It’s the brownies somebody brought to the office that you thought about all weekend. It’s the shop that knows your name.

It’s the spot you drive past three others to get to. That’s the office, that’s the church, that’s community.
And I’ll tell y’all this: nobody will know they’re out there if we don’t tell them. So let’s tell them.

Comment and tag the Minnesota business that made a difference in your life this year. Tell us why. One sentence is enough.

No judgment on your answer. Big or small, they count. There is no shame in a gas station coffee, right?

I’ll go first in the comments. Don’t leave me hanging.

Okay, real talk. When sales slow down, what’s the first thing you do? Post more. Network more. Go find more people.

And sometimes that’s exactly right. Nobody knows you’re out there if you don’t tell them.

But check one thing first. Are the orders you already have going out on time? Because if they’re not, more customers isn’t growth. It’s more promises on a pile you’re already behind on.

So what does that mean? Two questions:
1. Can you name where your customers come from, step by step, and did it work that way each of the last three months?
2. Did your last customers get what you promised, without an emergency?

No judgment. If one comes out ugly, that’s not a failure. That’s where you start.

Okay y'all, I have to tell you what Ruby said.

She just finished day two of our Strength & Strategy Lab, and her words were "crazy in a good way." A lot of questions and confusion she's carried about her business are clearer now. And the question she's always asked, "What is that gap in my business?" Now it's glaring, and she's ready to fix it.

Nobody walks out with everything solved. Ruby is heading home to build her 30, 60, and 90-day plan. But she knows where to point the work, and that changes everything about what she does next.

If you've been carrying a question about your business that you can't quite name, I'd encourage you to stop carrying it alone. Comment LAB and we'll send you the Lab page and a free 30-minute call.

Y'all, I want to talk to the owner who keeps saying “someday.”

Someday when the money's right. Someday when things calm down. Someday when I'm sure it'll work.

I hear that a lot, and I'll be honest with you, all of it is real. Coaching is a big step. But not being ready for coaching doesn't mean you have to keep figuring it all out by yourself.

There are steps in between.

You can come to the Strength & Strategy Lab™. Two Saturdays with other owners, $199, and you walk out with your CliftonStrengths® results, your AGPG and your Dream Plan™. Next one is January 9 & 16.

Or you can start on your own with the AGPG Assessment™. It takes thirty to forty-five minutes, it's $297, and it gives you an honest map of what you've built, what's straining, what's broken and what's possible.

And when you're ready for one-on-one, Boss Up is right there. Nothing you've done starts over.

Comment LAB and we'll send you the details, plus a free 30-minute call to figure out which step fits you.

Be great, y'all.

Okay y'all, I want to say something that might sound backwards.

Your business can bring in $500K a year and still be at square one.

Here's what I mean. Revenue tells you how much you sell. It doesn't tell you whether the business can stand without you. If every sale, every decision and every answer still has to go through you, that's square one, no matter what the number says.

And listen, I'm not saying that to make anybody feel bad. Knowing where you really are is how you stop paying for help that doesn't fit.

So ask yourself one thing this week: what problem is my business built to solve right now?

If you want to work through that with other owners, comment LAB and we'll send you the details for the Strength & Strategy Lab™.

Here's a five-minute exercise worth doing before you plan 2027.

Pick three people on your team. Ask each one, separately: "What's our top priority this year?" Don't hint. Just write down what you hear.

If the answers don't match, that doesn't mean your team isn't paying attention. A large survey of 11,000+ senior managers found only about 1 in 3 could name their company's top three priorities (Sull & Homkes, London Business School / HBR, 2015). Those are the people right below the CEO. It happens to a lot of teams, and it's fixable.

Usually it means the plan isn't in a form people can repeat yet. Swipe for the six parts a plan needs so your team can say it back to you.

A few translations along the way:
The Collaboration Chart is who owns each part of the work. Matriculation criteria are what has to be true before you move on. G.R.E.A.T. Goals are built from what's still missing.

If you want help building this with your leadership team before 2027, comment BEGREAT and we'll send you the details and a free 30-minute call.

If you can't take one day off without answering work questions, you have a system problem.

I'm talking about you at your kid's game, or in the dentist chair, or finally on the couch, and your phone goes off. "Quick question." Then another one.

Then a customer wants to talk to the owner. And just like that, your day off is a workday from a different seat.

And listen, that's usually not because your team can't handle it.

It's because nobody told them they're allowed to decide. Giving somebody a task is not the same as giving them the decision.

So before your next day away:
1. Write down the decisions that keep coming back to you
2. Give each one an owner, plus what they can decide on their own and when to call you
3. Set the rules before you leave: priorities, where the info lives, the spending limit, and what actually counts as a "call me" situation

Then take one day and watch what gets stuck. That's not failure. That's data.
Save this checklist for your next day away. And send it to a founder whose business still depends on them for every decision.
