Over the last two weeks, we've done some important groundwork. Week 1, we introduced the CEO Reset and the 6 systems every business needs to scale. Week 2, we cleared the mental clutter, sorted our priorities, and built an ideal week designed to produce results—not just fill time. If you did the work, you should already be feeling a little more in control. This week, we go deeper. And in many ways, this is the most important email in the entire series. Because here's the uncomfortable truth...

Last week I introduced you to the CEO Reset and the 6 systems every business needs to scale. If you missed it, you can catch up here: [LINK TO LAST WEEK'S BLOG] TThis week we're getting practical.

How Two Conversations Led to the CEO Reset Last week, two things happened that changed everything. First, my co-founder and friend Phumla and I ran a Reset Challenge for healthcare practice owners. The 4-day challenge was action-packed and full of best practice. At the end of the challenge, I reflected on what we had just taken people through—a collection of frameworks that I have, at one time or another, used myself, but not as it was presented. You know what they say about the cobbler’s...

It's been a while - I know. I pretty much disappeared in the second half of 2025. I got sucked into building someone else’s business. What started as a one-day-a-week gig turned into an every-available-minute gig… and somewhere in that blur, I lost sight of what I was building. Has that ever happened to you? "Keep the main thing the main thing" Last year, I put this sticky note on my windowsill — right in my line of sight — so I couldn’t miss it. The idea was simple: every time an opportunity...

Happy New Year! Welcome back to your inbox. But don't be tempted back into bad habits. Lets start the year differently.This week - the first week back - allow me to suggest that it's not about hitting the ground running. It’s about something quieter, and far more powerful: setting up the deliberate practice you promised yourself. A gentle ease-in. The start of your healthy rhythms. At the end of last year, during the G20, a friend of a friend relayed a story from someone working on the...

Quick gut check... “This quarter, I’m going to simplify...” “This year, we’re getting serious about sales.” “I just want to feel less reactive and more… on purpose.” "We need to postpone the strategy session, I have to focus in this client deliverable." Sound familiar? You set the goal — and then life happens. Inbox. Firefighting. Other people’s priorities. And that goal? It quietly drifts to the edges of your calendar. Most goal setting fails. But not because you’re lazy. It fails because...

Have you ever felt like this: “I’m showing up everywhere,” - “I’m posting, emailing, running ads… but it’s like I’m invisible. No one’s paying attention.” This is me... Yesterday.
