Run It Right

10/01/2026

I'm not interested in figuring this out by myself.

Business is changing quickly.

The information changes. The tools change. The way customers find us changes. And the way we build businesses is changing right along with it.

I don't want good people with good businesses getting left behind simply because the information moved faster than they did.

That's one of the reasons I teach.

I've spent years running businesses, figuring things out the hard way, adapting to what customers actually need, and learning what works in the real world.

Now I'm taking what I'm learning and putting it into practical conversations with other business owners.

Last night, that meant Building Community Partnerships That Increase Visibility and Referrals at the Coastal Carolina Community College Small Business Center.

We talked about relationships as a real part of business growth, not just networking for the sake of networking.

Because a customer can become a referral.

A relationship can become a collaboration.

And a conversation can open a door you didn't know was there.

That's the kind of business education I want to be part of.

Practical. Current. On the ground.

I'm learning.
I'm building.
I'm teaching.

And I'm holding out both hands and bringing people with me.

Because I don't think we're supposed to figure out this new economy alone.

We're all building what's next.

Next Thursday, October 8, we're continuing the conversation with Networking & Collaboration Strategies for Small Business Growth, 6:00–7:30 PM at the Coastal Carolina Community College Small Business Center.

If you're building something, come sit at the table.

September was about getting clear.

Clear on what matters.
Clear on what needs your attention.
And clear enough to make the next decision with a steady hand.

That was the heart of our September CEO Day with Run It Right Business Coaching & Strategy + Tammy Bridges: Clear Focus, Steady Hands — Enterprise Leadership & Financial Clarity.

We talked about the intersection of leadership, business systems, and financial clarity because growing a business isn't just about doing more.

It's about knowing what deserves your attention, understanding the numbers behind your decisions, and creating enough structure to lead your business intentionally.

I originally shared this session with our CEO Day community and newsletter earlier this month, but as September comes to a close, I wanted to open it up to everyone.

If September taught us anything, it's this: clarity creates movement.

Here's a look inside September's CEO Day.

▶️ Watch the full conversation and take what serves your business.

And we'll see you at the next CEO Day.

There’s something a little surreal about walking through a place and realizing: I belong here.

I’m a 100% online student at the UNCG Bryan School of Business & Economics, and I live about three and a half hours away.

So being on campus wasn’t something I had to do.

I intentionally made the trip because I wanted to be here.

I wanted to experience the campus.
Walk the halls.
Learn the history.
See the places I had been reading about.
And understand a little more about the culture and community of the university I chose to be part of.

UNC Greensboro was established in 1891 and opened its doors in 1892, with a mission rooted in education, opportunity, and service. More than 130 years later, thousands of students are still walking these paths, learning in these buildings, building relationships, and figuring out what comes next.

There was something powerful about being surrounded by that history.

Our tour guides shared the history and beauty of the campus with so much pride, but I wasn't quite ready to leave the story there.

I wanted to see more.

So I spent some time walking the halls of the Bryan School of Business & Economics, looking a little closer at the place where I'll be spending the next part of my education—and learning some of its history beyond the tour itself.

There is something about standing inside a building with decades of students, professors, ideas, businesses, and careers behind it that makes you stop for a second.

And walking alongside thousands of other students, seeing classrooms filled with purpose, and hearing people proudly tell the story of this university, I had one of those quiet little moments where you think:

Oh. I'm really here.

I'm not just taking classes from three and a half hours away.

I'm part of this now.

And I'm very proud of that.

First semester.
First campus visit.
Three and a half hours each way.
A little history, a lot of walking, and a new chapter beginning.

I think I'm going to like it here.

STOP SCROLLING IF YOU’RE A REALTOR TIRED OF RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS ON MEMORY AND PURE HUSTLE. 🚀

People don't struggle in real estate or sales because they lack talent ... they struggle because they rely on memory instead of systems. When every lead, follow-up, and transaction lives only in your head, scaling doesn't bring freedom because it just brings overwhelm.

High performers don't wake up wondering what to do today, instead they build a business structured to make consistent action the default.

CEO Day is next Tuesday.

As business owners, it's incredibly easy to spend every day working in the business—answering questions, serving customers, putting out fires, and handling whatever is most urgent.

But when do we actually get time to step back and work ON the business?

That's what CEO Day is about.

We're creating a space for local entrepreneurs to pause the day-to-day, connect with other business owners, and intentionally think about what's next.

If you've been feeling like you need some dedicated time to refocus, organize, strategize, or simply breathe and look at the bigger picture, I'd love to have you join us.

CEO Day is next Tuesday, September 8.
🕦 11:30 AM–1:30 PM
📍 The Third Space

🎟️ Tickets are available now in bio

Come spend a couple of hours working ON your business, not just working in it.

I would love to see you in the room!
