Your employees are the ones serving your clients. If they are in a healthy, positive, and loving state, then they will be able to impact and impart to your clients.

Ari Page has been in business for 20 years in an industry where companies come and go fast. At its peak, his company was processing $2 million a month. Then in 2020, Ari stepped away during a personal season, believing systems and leadership would keep everything running. Within two years, revenue was cut in half.

Listen as he breaks down the one mistake that nearly destroyed his business, why stepping away was more dangerous than he realized, and the single word that rebuilt everything when he stepped back in. It was something most entrepreneurs abandon the moment things get hard.
