Before you sprint into 2026 with big goals and vision boards, pause. In this episode, Lani walks you through an honest, no-fluff CEO review (her Expansion Audit) so you can scale intentionally—not by doing more, but by leading smarter. You’ll use her Four-Profit Framework (Time, Energy, Income, Fulfillment) to decide what to double-down on, what to pause, and how to design next year around aligned growth.

In This Episode:

• Why reflection is the accelerator most entrepreneurs skip
• The Four-Profit Framework for evaluating 2025: Time, Energy, Income, Fulfillment
• What to delegate, automate, eliminate—before January
• How to move from reflection → projection → action (and avoid “scaling chaos”)
• CEO questions that create clarity, margin, and momentum

Key Takeaways:

• Reflection isn’t nostalgia—it’s data, direction, and integrity.
• You can’t scale chaos. Simplifying creates capacity for growth.
• Design 2026 around how you want to spend Time, Energy, and Fulfillment, then attach Income strategy.
• Boundaries + routines protect your best energy (and your margins).
• Projection without reflection = spaghetti strategy. Pair them, then act.

Action Steps (Do This This Week):

1. Schedule a 2-hour CEO Reflection Block. No meetings. Journal + calendar + numbers.
2. Run the Four-Profit Audit on your offers, clients, marketing, and ops:

• Time: Where did my hours actually go? What gave the best ROI on time?
• Energy: What felt expansive vs. draining? What patterns do I see?
• Income: Which offers/activities produced the easiest, most joyful revenue? Which felt forced/heavy?
• Fulfillment: What made me proud? What aligned with my mission/family/life?

1. Make 3 CEO Moves: one to delegate, one to automate, one to eliminate before January.
2. Project with precision: Choose 1–3 Major Focuses for 2026. For each, define:

• Desired result → required rhythm → supporting systems → first concrete action.

1. Adopt the filter question:“Does this move me toward profit (time, energy, income, fulfillment)…or just protect a fear?”
