The real challenge isn’t just in making money but in making it and keeping it—two entirely different skills. It’s one thing to earn revenue; it’s another to sustain and grow it.
Take time to thoroughly evaluate each decision beforehand. Use a mind map, ask tough questions, and recognize that salespeople, especially skilled ones, are powerful influencers.
Evaluate your team’s capacity not only to generate income but to protect and grow it.
Do you and your team grasp economic trends, forecasting, and the right timing for automation?
Do you have your “A Team” in place, one that’s equipped with the skills and mindset to preserve and increase wealth?
Looking Ahead to 2025
What’s your forecast for 2025—growth, stability, or decline?
Ideally, regardless of external factors like lumber prices, you’re planning for growth. Look back at your 5-year plan covering 2022 to 2026. Each year should show an increase in both sales and profit.
If that trend hasn’t held, ask yourself: why not?
Conduct an after-action review for each quarter to understand what worked and what didn’t.
Remember, success isn’t just about what you do but how you do it.
Focus on building leverage and structure—two essentials for success in 2025.
Opportunity without structure only leads to chaos. Structure is critical for sustainable growth. Ask yourself now: “Do I have my A Team in place?”
How can you elevate your team to operate as owners, not just operators?
Consider training that fosters an ownership mindset.
From Point A to Point B
Point A: Are you honest about what’s truly happening in your business? Take a hard look at the reality—pick a specific area and assess it with clarity.
Point B: Know where you want to go. Fancy charts, graphs, or models won’t get you there without a solid plan.
The space between Point A and Point B represents your obstacles. These are the symptoms holding you back from forward progress.
The Solution: Gain absolute clarity on the real problem you face. Structure and focus will get you from where you are to where you want to be.
