Description

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.
