Most service-based business owners think they’re stuck because of marketing, lead flow, or pricing pressure. But after working with numerous service-based entrepreneurs — and interviewing top global service leaders on the Business Superfans®: The Service Providers Edge podcast… I kept seeing the same pattern over and over again: They didn’t have a “business” problem. They had a People–Processes–Profitability problem. And it usually sounded like this: “I need more clients.” “I need to hire better people.” “I need to fix my follow-up.” “I need systems.” “I need better margins.” All true. But here’s the real truth most never hear: 👉 Marketing isn’t the real bottleneck. 👉 Broken systems are. 👉 Misaligned people are. 👉 Inconsistent follow-up is. 👉 Not nurturing relationships is. 👉 And no profitability strategy absolutely is. Because here’s what that looks like in real life: ✅ You can have leads — but no process to convert them ✅ You can have a team — but they’re not aligned or accountable ✅ You can have customers — but no loyalty, referrals, or repeat revenue ✅ You can work harder — and still feel stuck every month ✅ You can set goals — but have no system that produces predictable results That’s the gap. Not effort. Not intelligence. Not motivation. 👉 Alignment. 👉 Systems. 👉 Stakeholder-driven growth. Because here’s the truth no one talks about: ✨ You don’t scale through hustle. You scale through alignment. ✨ You don’t grow through chaos. You grow through systems. ✨ You don’t win through transactions. You win through Business Superfans® — the business equivalent of sports-team diehards (faces painted, jerseys on) cheering, promoting, and advocating for you. That’s exactly why I built the Entrepreneur Prosperity Hub: A community for service-based entrepreneurs who are done trying to “wing it” alone — and instead want a proven pathway to predictable growth. Inside the Hub, we help you build the 3 prosperity engines every service business needs: 🔶 People & Stakeholder Alignment System

I'll be honest, I was reluctant to jump on the word of the year bandwagon. 2026 will be the 4th year in a row that I've chosen a word of the year and I am now EXCITED about my word of the year! I can look back at the 3 words from past years and see the trajectory of my business and this year feels super aligned. I'll share... but I want to hear from you!

Every December, I start thinking about my Word of the Year. And if I’m being honest…it’s been a huge waste of my time. Here’s how it usually goes: I spend way too long trying to choose the perfect word. I get all starry-eyed about it, break out my colored Flairs, and write it decoratively in my planner. Finally, I ooo and ahhh over how pretty it looks. And then? I don’t think about it again until it’s time to pick the next one. So this year, I've done something a little different...I've chosen a Power Word. It’s a single, intention-packed word that anchors who you want to become. Think of it as a Word of the Year that is more actionable. This Thursday, I'm teaching the process in a free workshop called Become the You You’re Meant to Be in 2026. By the end of the workshop, you’ll be able to: - Reflect on your year with honesty and compassion - Identify the identity you want to step into in 2026 - Choose a Power Word that supports your growth and feels aligned - Turn your word into a personal framework you can actually use - Integrate your word into daily decisions, habits, and focus - Begin the new year grounded, clear, and ready to move forward It's going to be fun!
