What Would Lu Do?: Part 5- Grow Intentionally, Not Accidentally.
Today on Window Treatments for Profit
This is the fifth and final episode in our WWLD January series:Five Decisions That Change Profit, Time, and Control in Your Window Treatment Business.
In this episode, LuAnn Nigara tackles the most overlooked leadership decision of all:What are you intentionally building?
After walking through four foundational decisions around profit, leadership, team stability, and operational clarity, this final conversation zooms out to address direction.
Because once your business becomes more stable and less reactive, the real danger is no longer chaos.It’s drift.
In Grow Intentionally, Not Accidentally, LuAnn unpacks how smart, capable business owners end up overwhelmed not because they made bad decisions, but because they let momentum decide for them.
You’ll hear:
-
Why growth on its own is not a strategy
-
How accidental growth quietly erodes profit, standards, and culture
-
Why “saying yes” often feels responsible but costs more than you realize
-
The identity-level questions every owner must answer to grow on purpose
-
Practical action steps to break the cycle of reaction and lead intentionally
LuAnn also references her earlier solo episode, WWLD Episode #337: Volume or Value, for listeners who want to go deeper into the tension between different growth models and how easily businesses drift between them without realizing it.
This episode is not about growing faster.It’s about growing with clarity.
Or deciding not to grow at all.
Either way, it’s a decision.
Listen in and bring the WWLD series full circle.
