During our weekly calls we cover a lot of material as well as give owners the opportunity to be our hotseat and allow us to evaluate how they're doing and how we can help. That said, sometimes there are burning questions that come throughout the week. Sometimes they come after the calls and sometimes they come at the middle of the night. Our goal is to ensure that we're providing you and your team the support you need to be successful so don't be shy and share with us any questions you have so we can help everyone succeed.

Let's share successes, and wins that we have as we embark in the process of building a business, launching a franchise and creating financial freedom for ourselves. The more we can share in the successes of the work we're doing, the more validating it feels.

Generally speaking, I don’t read much, and going to book club means going to the movies with the guys. But I do try to listen to books regularly.

Thanks to everyone who jumped on today's Mindset Monday call! Last week we talked about shifting from Operator to Owner. Today we asked ourselves: how do you lead yourself in a way that sets the tone for everything else? We talked about the importance of Clarity, Consistency, Energy and Reflection as pillars of self leadership and some practical habits that help cultivate greater levels of self mastery in every area of life. These include a morning routine that sets the tone and aligns you with your vision, carving out CEO time in your weekly schedule, having a daily "Focus 3," and making sure to track and celebrate your wins. Journal Prompts: 1. What daily habits set the tone for how I lead? 2. Where do I drift into reaction instead of intention? 3. What 3 things matter most for my business this week? 4. What would it look like to protect 2 hours for “CEO Time”? Action Step: - Implement one new self-leadership habit this week (morning ritual, weekly block, or daily “Focus 3”). If you missed the call today, join us next week. Check out the Calendar tab for details!
