Once again, Heather, it's a delight getting to read and hear what you write!

Thank you for reminding me to take that hour and write it down. Get it out of my chatty brain

One thing at a time 🤗

This is a helpful framework and I love the honest and direct way you address the mental roadblocks we throw in our way.

Strategy is probably the most misunderstood word in business. For me, it’s a decision-making framework that recognizes your limitations and helps you win (however you define a win → usually the BIG WHY).

Great writing, Heather!

Great breakdown Heather!

Especially the evolution vs. revolution part. Too many businesses tweak when they need a bold move. What’s the biggest mindset shift you’ve seen that helps founders make that leap?

Thank you! I think the mindset shifts normally when it gets too painful to stay in your comfort zone. Or stuff breaks and it literally forces you to think and act differently.

3 of my core fee earners all being sacked or resigning on the same day caused me to restructure and completely rebuild my business.
