367. The One Decision That Changes Your Next 12 Months

367. The One Decision That Changes Your Next 12 Months

If your business looks roughly the same 12 months from now as it does today, how would that feel? There's a decision you're making right now — or avoiding making — that matters more than any new funnel or piece of content, and this episode is about seeing it clearly before the year runs out on you.

I'm doing an honest look-back at where my business was exactly 12 months ago, what I set out to achieve, and what actually happened. Some of it worked. A lot of it didn't — the mentorship program that never fed into the agency the way I planned, the YouTube channel I'm still not consistent on. But some of it worked in ways I almost forgot to notice: an email open rate that climbed from 19% to over 40%, paying myself a consistent salary, bringing on a full-time hire again after years of not being ready to. And underneath all of it is the one decision that actually separates the version of you who's still stuck from the one who gets where she wants to go.

That decision isn't a strategy. It's a belief — and it's simpler, and harder, than anything I could teach you in a framework.

"What if you believed that everything you need to get where you want to be is already inside you right now?"

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why doing your 12-month look-back right now beats waiting until December

  • Learn the real difference between a goal and a dream — and why "I hope" quietly sabotages your results

  • Hear the honest wins and losses from Salome's own last 12 months, no filter

  • Find out the one decision that shapes your next 12 months more than any funnel or piece of content
