#236 6 Lessons I Learned In 2025

As we wrap up the year, I’m sharing the six biggest lessons I’ve learned in 2025 – each one shaped by real challenges, growth moments and practical wins inside the firm.

This episode is for you if:
→ You want to scale your firm without burning out.
→ You’re tired of shiny tactics and want strategies that compound over time.
→ You’re serious about building a business that can run without you.

You’ll hear:
→ Why “boring stuff done consistently” beats every shiny object.
→ How to invest in yourself and take action that actually moves the needle.
→ The power of repeating your message even when you’re tired of it.
→ Why targeting people with money is just better business.
→ How hiring A-players (and keeping them) is your biggest growth lever.
→ And my favourite one… the “hat, haircut, or tattoo” decision-making framework that’ll help you stop overthinking and start doing.

Plus – I share what’s coming in January and how I plan to help a small group of firm owners implement the Power Positioning System at speed.
