Alright… I’ve got a story for you this week.

And yes… it involves a squirrel 

I was on the phone with my entourage pod leader Jim…just a normal conversation…

When suddenly…

The dogs lost their minds.

Full-on chaos.

Running. Sliding. Barking.

Like something just broke into the house.

Turns out… something did.

A squirrel.

Now Darci… her retriever side kicked in fast.

What followed looked like a circus.

At one point… I hear loud squealing…

Not from the dogs…

From the squirrel 

Total chaos for a few minutes… until it disappeared behind a big cabinet.

Then… silence.

But not really.

For the rest of the day?
Dogs pacing.
Cats pacing.
Everyone on edge like… “it’s still here.”

So naturally… I assumed… yeah… that squirrel didn’t make it.

Next day, I get some help to move the cabinet.

We pull it out…

And…

That squirrel was STILL ALIVE.

After all of that.

So we grab gloves… one of the guys picks it up…

I’m thinking… alright, we’ll take it outside.

Nope.

That squirrel had other plans.

It slips out…

takes off…
and bolts straight out the front door.

Gone.

Free.

Like none of that chaos even mattered.

So What Does This Have to Do With Business?

More than you think.

Because a lot of businesses look exactly like my house did that day.

👉 Chasing everything
👉 Reacting to everything
👉 Constant movement… but no direction

It feels productive.
It looks busy.

But it’s mostly chaos.

The Part That Stuck With Me

That squirrel?

It survived all the noise.
All the chasing.
All the confusion.

And it got out the moment there was a clear path.

Growth doesn’t come from more chaos.

It comes from clarity

A clear offer.
A clear direction.
A clear next step.

When things are clear…

You stop chasing everything.

And you start moving forward.
