I Asked My OBM Why She Thinks We’re a ‘Successful’ Business. Her Answers Shocked Me…

I asked my OBM, Nivek Harrison, why she thinks our business is successful, and her answers shocked me. As the festive season rolls in and I'm deep into planning for 2026, I figured it was the perfect time to pause and reflect on what's already working. I've been trying to identify our strengths so we can really leverage them in the new year, and Nivek's perspective gave me three insights that I think will shift how you think about your own business too.In this episode, I break down the three things Nivek said so quickly, straight off the cuff, as though she'd been sitting on the answers. First, we talk about moving fast with intention and why smart speed is completely different from reckless rush. I share how we know when to hit the gas on ideas that align with our strategy and when to park shiny distractions. Second, we explore decisiveness and why trusting your gut while filtering advice through what feels right for your business changes everything. The secret isn't to overthink or freeze with indecision, but to execute thoughtful actions quickly.The third insight was about embracing the chaos and handling the many moving parts that come with running a business without making a fuss about it. I share the trick to knowing which issue is the top priority while accepting some messiness along the way, because business, much like life, isn't always tidy. This episode is about sharing what's worked for us so maybe it can help you too as you plan and dream big for the next year.LINKSPrevious episode mentioned:BTS of my decision making process, taking action and being in the liminal spaceConnect with Ellie: Doors are NOW OPEN for The Mastermind Model ellieswift.com/model  Apply for the Scalable Freedom Mastermind hereFREE Private Podcast “Inside a 7-Figure Mastermind Business” hereWebsite:        https://www.ellieswift.com/Instagram:    @elliehswiftFacebook Group:    www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/LINKS:FREE GUIDE: Sell Out & Retain Mastermind Clients in 2026: https://ellieswift.com/mastermind2026Connect with Ellie on Instagram: https://instagram.com/elliehswiftSubscribe to Inside The Mastermind Newsletter: https://ellieswift.com/newsletterWatch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@elliehswiftKeen to work together?Sell Out Your Mastermind: The Mastermind Model - https://ellieswift.com/modelBe Coached By Ellie to $500k+ : The Scalable Freedom Mastermind - https://ellieswift.com/scalablefreedom
