What Would Lu Do?: Stuck at 7 Figures? These 5 CEO Shifts Will Help You Breakthrough

Today With LuAnn Nigara:

In this solo What Would Lu Do episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the exact five strategic shifts I had to make when we scaled Window Works from $1.8M to nearly $5M. These aren’t feel-good theories—these are real-world, battle-tested pivots in how you think, lead, and operate your business.

We’ll cover:

• The CEO mindset shift that starts it all—and why it’s harder (and more important) than you think
• Why the systems that got you here will absolutely hold you back from scaling
• The new level of team accountability and financial visibility you must develop
• What it really takes to market like a $5M business—and sell like one, too
• How to stop reacting—and start leading with intention and vision

Don’t forget to grab the free goodie for this episode—a downloadable checklist that recaps all 5 shifts and gives you one place to find all the episodes, tools, and trainings I mention.
