Is your business ready for success and scale in 2025? 

As you look at what it will take make your big bold vision and goals a reality in the new year, there are some key things to consider. Not only has the way we market and sell shifted, but the way our business operates needs to shift as well. Things that were a nice-to-have in prior years are now a bare minimum for success.

 In this episode, I'm excited to celebrate the launch of my new brand, the Strategic Ops Institute, and share some important insights on the future of business operations. I talk about key market changes and how AI is playing a big role in transforming the way we work. It’s not just a competitive advantage anymore—AI is something businesses must use to grow and run more efficiently.

I explore why strategic planning is so important, how we need to balance innovation with steady growth, and why it's essential to connect marketing with operations. I introduce my S.P.S.T.I Framework, Strategy, Planning, Systems, Team, and Insight—which is the foundation for scaling a business in a simple and sustainable way. 

 

In this episode, I dive into what I see as the future of operations and scaling success for small businesses including:

• The role AI plays in scalable and sustainable growth in 2025
• The critical integration of marketing and operations
• Balancing short-term wins with long-term sustainability
