Shownotes

Before the end of the year, let's do this quick powerful exercise that will help you reflect on this past year and plan for an extraordinary 2025.

Get ready to transform your mindset and set yourself up for success!

I'm guiding you through an exercise I do every year that I call "What Worked, What Didn't Work, and What You'll Do Better".

It's a simple but transformational process to reflect on your year and use these insights to make the next year even better!

I hope this exercise brings you the same clarity and motivation it brings me every year.

Take the time to complete it thoughtfully and don't hesitate to reach out to your network for extra insights. You'll be surprised at how much you accomplished once you put it all into perspective.

Want to untangle your business in the next 5 minutes? This quick-hit audio guide reveals my signature detangling process - the same one I use to help entrepreneurs find hidden revenue and reclaim their time.

No fluff, just practical steps to spot what's really tangling up your profits.

Warning: Side effects may include sudden clarity, unexpected free time, and the bizarre sensation of your business feeling easier than it should be.
