INSIGHT

Slow Down To Speed Up

Lori Harder says slow down now to prepare for 2026's momentum year by tightening foundations.
Precision and systems now let you accelerate later without burning everything down.

INSIGHT

Speed Needs Precision

Lori contrasts 'fire horse' speed with 'snake' precision and says you need both in the right order.
Speed without systems will 'burn everything down' during a high-momentum year.

ADVICE

One Offer, Deep Mastery

If you want 2026 to be your breakthrough year, THIS is the foundation you need. In this episode, I share why the transition from snake energy into fire horse energy is the exact wake-up call so many of us needed. The things that stopped working this year weren’t failures. I break down why adding more offers, more content, or more effort is not the answer. This is the year to refine what you do, get honest about what’s broken, tighten your messaging, and clean up every leak in your life and business so that when speed hits, you’re actually ready for it.
