Thu Feb 05 2026
Grab your coffee and settle in. Today I'm sharing the exact planning approach that's transformed how I run my business - and how my clients go from constant firefighting to actually having their weekends back. If you're either stuck in endless planning mode or exhausted from constant reaction, this episode will change how you think about strategy.
Key Topics Covered:
