Q4 gets all the attention — but it's not the full story of your year.

Before you build next year's plan, look at all 12 months: the decisions, the results, the customers, your people, the assumptions that turned out to be wrong, and what you actually learned.

"Let us examine our ways and test them." — Lamentations 3:40

Don't let the most recent outcome become the only one you remember. 👇 What's one lesson this year handed you?

Strategic planning season is here. Before you decide where you're going, you have to look in the right directions.

Which one do you skip most? Drop a number 👇
1️⃣ Look inward (mission/values)
2️⃣ Look back (honest review)
3️⃣ Look up (seek God's direction)
4️⃣ Look around (market reality)

"The longer you can look back, the farther you can look forward." —Winston Churchill

Our September theme at C12 South Louisiana: looking back honestly so we can move forward wisely. Before you build next year's plan, name what's working, what's broken, and what's missing.

Joshua 4 gives us the picture — stones stacked as markers of God's faithfulness. Same idea for your business. See His hand clearly, then lead forward with trust instead of anxious striving.

Resources from this month's newsletter are in the comments 👇

Quick Sunday question: could you recite your strategic plan right now, without looking it up?

That answer tells you a lot about how central it's been.

In Joshua 4, God had Israel stack stones from the riverbed — a marker of His faithfulness for the road ahead. Looking back isn't living in the past. It's remembering who carried you.

September's newsletter drops Tuesday with the whole framework. Follow us so you'll know when it's live.

Looking back is hard for most leaders — not because we forget, but because we remember too well.

Grace is what makes honest reflection possible. You can't fix what you're afraid to look at.

"What's your business worth?"

Most owners have a number. Almost nobody has tested it.

Our forums spent August on this — and the hardest question wasn't financial. It was this: if you disappeared for two weeks, what would stop working?

Building something that can run without you isn't about leaving. It's about faithfully strengthening what God put in your hands.

Think valuation is something you worry about when you’re ready to sell? 👀 That’s one of the biggest myths in this carousel. Your day-to-day decisions shape what your business may be worth later—from profit quality and owner dependence to how transferable and resilient the business really is. 💡 Which of these four myths do you see business owners fall for most often?

This month, we did our F60's (monthly coaching meeting) a little differently! Usually Kirt Boudreau meets with members 1 on 1, but this month members of each forum were paired up with one another to gain some new perspective about their full balance wheel.

He had the opportunity to test one of the themes of August, if his business would run without him while he took some time away. He said he's happy to report, that it was do-able! A big shout-out to Lafayette Forum 2 members Huey and Jerry for taking this picture to capture their peer to peer F60 meeting!

If you or another business owner wants to learn more, please reach out to Kirt Boudreau or any other members of C12 South Louisiana in both Lafayette or Lake Charles!
