The season I sold my business and walked through the hardest stretch of parenting I'd known — and what holding both, at once, taught me about God.

Revenue isn't the only thing that compounds in your business. Four things do — and tending all four is the difference between a bigger business and a bigger life.

The story behind Three Avocados — and how a trip to Uganda changed the way I see profit.

The first question I ask every owner — and why the ones who can answer it build differently.

"Anyone who needs what we do" is the most expensive answer an owner can give. Getting clear on who you serve best usually grows revenue — even though narrowing feels like the opposite.

Most businesses stall somewhere between $500K and $1M, and it's rarely for lack of effort. What breaks the ceiling is a team that multiplies the owner rather than merely helping.

"Get to $3M" is a number, not a destination. Owners who can describe the business they're building make noticeably different decisions on the way there.

Most owners don't have an effort problem. They have a loop that never closes. Consistency is what turns a year of hard work into a year that actually builds on itself.

A lot of good businesses run on feel. That works until it doesn't. A few numbers, reviewed on a rhythm, turn every other part of your business from a feeling into a fact.
