Speaker A:Welcome Back to Freddy D's Take, episode 155.
Speaker A:I'm Frederick Dudek.
Speaker A:Most people call me Freddy D. We've been on a special five part journey called the Prosperity Pathway.
Speaker A:Created to help professional and trade service based business owners move from struggle to freedom by creating business super fans.
Speaker A:We've covered day one, ignition, the struggle stage.
Speaker A:Day two, traction, the stabilization stage, day three, acceleration, the growth stage, and day four, expansion, the prosperity stage.
Speaker A:Today we wrap it all up with day five, freedom.
Speaker A:The superfan's engine at full power.
Speaker A:This is the destination every owner dreams about.
Speaker A:Like, let's dive in.
Speaker A:Picture this.
Speaker A:You take a month off your business.
Speaker A:Stakeholders, employees, contractors, suppliers and partners are aligned, engaged and driving results.
Speaker A:Your reputation, referrals and relationships are doing the heavy lifting.
Speaker A:Your profits fuel your lifestyle and your legacy.
Speaker A:That's freedom.
Speaker A:It's not luck, it's the reward of building a business that runs on systems, strategy and super fans.
Speaker A:Here's how you know you're entering the freedom stage.
Speaker A:The business runs smoothly without you.
Speaker A:Stakeholders are acting as superfans.
Speaker A:Loyal, proactive, proud.
Speaker A:Growth is sustainable and self fueling.
Speaker A:You finally have time, wealth and options.
Speaker A:And emotionally you feel fulfilled, empowered, free.
Speaker A:There's peace of mind and pride in what you've built.
Speaker A:You're no longer chasing success.
Speaker A:You're living it.
Speaker A:So here's Freddie D's take.
Speaker A:Why freedom matters.
Speaker A:Freedom isn't about checking out.
Speaker A:It's about leveling up.
Speaker A:You become the architect of your company's future instead of the operator trapped in its day to day.
Speaker A:Here's what makes freedom possible.
Speaker A:Culture plus loyalty.
Speaker A:Your culture extends beyond employees, contractors, suppliers, partners.
Speaker A:They all feel part of something bigger.
Speaker A:Everyone is rowing with one oar and perfect sync and the boat flies.
Speaker A:Financial health.
Speaker A:Margins are strong.
Speaker A:Cash flow is consistent.
Speaker A:You're optimized for growth, not survival.
Speaker A:AI and automation.
Speaker A:Automation at this stage isn't about saving a few hours.
Speaker A:It's about multiplying efficiency.
Speaker A:AI becomes your silent team member.
Speaker A:Running complex workflows so humans can focus on creativity, relationships and strategy.
Speaker A:Vision and leadership.
Speaker A:Freedom gives you space to lead at a higher altitude, to step into thought leadership, expand your mission or launch your next venture knowing your foundation won't crumble.
Speaker A:This is the Super Engine.
Speaker A:This is the Superfans engine at full power.
Speaker A:An ecosystem of stakeholders, systems and super fans working together to drive sustainable success.
Speaker A:The Superfans Pillar in action Four pillars Sustain freedom.
Speaker A:The second s Sustain Protect your culture Preserve stakeholder loyalty guard against complacency F Finance Keep your eyes on profitability and cash growth should fund freedom, not erode it.
Speaker A:A automate Use AI and automation to operate at scale from reporting to outreach to reputation management and the first s strategize with time back Focus on long term vision, mentorship and impact.
Speaker A:Guide your company into its next evolution.
Speaker A:Freedom isn't about running away from your business.
Speaker A:It's about having the freedom to choose how you invest your time, energy and influence.
Speaker A:Here's how you measure progress towards freedom.
Speaker A:Within seven days, choose one task to stop doing and empower someone else or a system to handle it.
Speaker A:Within 30 days, take a three to five day break.
Speaker A:If operations run smoothly, you're on track.
Speaker A:Within 90 days, you should step away for two weeks and come back to momentum still building and the ultimate benchmark.
Speaker A:Within 12 months, you can step away for four weeks or more.
Speaker A:Margins are strong, your ecosystem is thriving and 70% or more of your new clients come from referrals and advocacy.
Speaker A:That's a superfan's engine at full power.
Speaker A:And remember, time waits for no one.
Speaker A:Freedom isn't given, it's built.
Speaker A:Here's your action step for today.
Speaker A:Choose one decision, one process or one responsibility you'll remove from your plate this week.
Speaker A:Empower someone or automate it so the business moves forward without you.
Speaker A:That's your first taste of freedom.
Speaker A:That's day five of our Prosperity Pathway series.
