Last Week for Subscriber-Only Strategy Retreat Spots [Two on Tuesdays]
|
Happy Tuesday, Reader! This is the last week our Fall 2025 Strategic Planning Retreat spots are available exclusively to subscribers and current clients. If you haven’t reserved your spot yet, what's been holding you back?
I understand the hesitation. Bringing in a third party to help with strategic planning is like hiring a contractor for your home—you have to consider costs vs. benefits. If your home's electrical system has problems, you have to get it fixed. Ignoring it is dangerous—the issue could spiral out of control, and dealing with unreliable electricity isn't feasible in today's world. So the question isn't whether to fix it—it's how. Strategic Planning Choice #1: You DIY it. There's a wealth of information out there on how to design your strategy yourself. That's a legitimate choice. But it will take you longer than it would an experienced professional, and through trial and error, you may not necessarily end up saving money. Strategic Planning Choice #2: You call in a professional. There is a definitive cost, but the project will be done quickly and safely. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind knowing it's been done right. Like home electrical work, strategic planning for your business is a job that shouldn't be put off. Whether you hire the professionals or do it yourself, realigning your business strategy with your vision for the future is essential. For our clients, the benefits of intentionally setting aside time for strategic planning far outweigh the costs. Don't get caught in the Sound-Check Spiral that keeps you stuck in endless preparation mode. Ease and joy belong at the center of your business strategy. Booking a Do Better Business™ Strategic Planning Retreat means…
It's time to take a beat and refocus on why you started your business and how you will achieve your dream. And if DIY-ing your way through building sustainable business systems isn't your jam, that's fine. That's what we're here for. Our Strategic Planning Retreats allow committed business leaders and their teams to step out of the Sound Check Spiral and onto the main stage. We have spots remaining in Orlando, Chicago, and Lexington, KY, for Fall 2025. Book your obligation-free info call today to learn more about our 2026 Strategic Planning Intensive and decide if it's right for you. Until next time, Renia C. P.S. - I would never ask anyone to make such a big commitment based only on what they've read on a web page. If you like what you read about our Strategic Planning Retreats, the next step is to set up a fitting call. Let's chat and see how we can move your company forward together. Remember—this is your last week for subscriber-only access to these spots. |

Happy Tuesday, Reader! We've been exploring where AI shortcuts can actually hurt your business. This week we’re focusing on the hidden cost of making your work too easy. Deep learning and maintaining creative skills require cognitive strain. If we’re not careful, what helps us in the short run (freeing up cognitive load with AI tools) can hurt us in the long run. It's crucial to make thoughtful choices about where the trade-off of short-term ease for long-term skill development is worth it,...
Happy Tuesday, Reader! Much has been written about AI's usefulness for evaluating work quality. But the more we experiment with it, the more we're realizing that quality feedback is still surprisingly difficult to get from a bot, especially for those actively trying to improve their skills. Effective feedback, particularly on creative work, remains inherently human. AI might eventually replicate it, but today it simply doesn't (at least not nearly as well as many believe) Realign with the...
Happy Tuesday, Reader! We've spent the last several weeks exploring AI's impact on discoverability. I'm excited about helping clients and our own team navigate this new reality, but I feel a compelling need to remind us (both myself and everyone I work with daily) that there are crucial life and business skills AI simply cannot touch. Skills that are uniquely, powerfully human. Today, I want to talk about one skill that might transform how you think about building your business. Realign with...
