It's cold. People are sick. Business feels quiet. Sound familiar? Candace is coming to you fresh off 10+ days sick with the flu - three of them completely in bed - and using this slower winter stretch at Dante and Dory's to get honest about what the numbers are really saying.

She shares: 🙌 Why slow sales aren't a story - they're feedback (and what to do with them) 🙌 The real numbers from Dante and Dory's and what that difference means over a month 🙌 The self-wash room investment decision she is making this month 🙌 Three questions to ask yourself when you're frozen or in a slow period Plus an honest conversation about communication - with your team, your partner, and yourself - and why clarity is what turns fear into action.
