    The Vision Traction Organizer

    Back in 2015, I read Traction by Gino Wickman—and it changed everything. Since then, I’ve used the Vision Traction Organizer (V/TO) to scale multiple businesses with clarity, alignment, and momentum. In this episode of We Do The Work, I walk you through the 2-page document every entrepreneur needs. You’ll learn: ✅ The 8 core sections of the V/TO ✅ How to get your vision out of your head and into your team's hands ✅ Why most businesses stay stuck (and how to fix it fast) ✅ How we use the V/TO to align goals, simplify decision-making, and speed up execution If you want to turn chaos into clarity and confusion into traction, this is the episode to watch. 💡 Want the free V/TO tool?

    The Customer Journey Map

    In this episode, we’re exploring a concept that completely changed the trajectory of my business.  When my wife and I stepped out of daily operations of our school to focus on growing the business, I needed a way to ensure our team could deliver the same care and empathy we did.  That’s when I created a framework to view our business through the eyes of our customers. We’ll break down the six key stages every customer goes through: Awareness, Consideration, Purchase, Onboarding, Retention, and Advocacy. And most importantly - how to create meaningful moments of impact at each step. By improving your customer experience, you can attract more students, retain them longer, and turn them into your biggest advocates.  Tune in to learn how to create a journey your customers will never forget!
