I’m fully convinced that the foundation for long-term success in business is not built through flashy tactics and quick wins.

Years of success have taught me that big wins are built over time: brick by brick by brick.

In this episode, I’m sharing the “brick building” actions I’ve taken in Q2 of 2024 to set up a strong foundation for future growth. Will all of them work in my favor? I don’t know. But I’m getting vulnerable and sharing them with you in real time so you can see what building a business really looks like.

From flying to Nashville for an in-person podcast session with Amy Porterfield to serving as a judge in the UPS Store + Inc Magazine’s Small Business Challenge, and even taking a personal retreat to clear my mind and refocus—this episode is packed with the (messy) actions I’m taking to build a life - and a business - I’m proud of.
