Your Sweet Spot Check-In: Are You Operating Where You Thrive?

Identify where your work, clients, and systems align to maximize profit, impact, and personal energy.

Think about your week in 2025. How many hours were spent doing work that energized you, generated profit, and delighted your top clients? How many hours went to tasks that drained you, delivered low returns, or distracted you from your focus?

This is the essence of your Sweet Spot, the intersection of your top clients, your unique offering, and systemized processes that allow you to operate efficiently.

The Sweet Spot framework

Your Sweet Spot is made up of three core elements:

  • Top Clients: The ones who bring the most value and align with your business mission

  • Unique Offering: What sets you apart and makes your services irresistible

  • Systematization: Processes that maintain quality while freeing your time

When these three areas align, you work less but achieve more.

Reflecting on 2025

Answer these questions honestly:

  • Did you spend most of your time in your Sweet Spot?

  • Were you clear on what made your offering unique?

  • Did you innovate around your biggest strength?

  • Which processes still rely entirely on you, creating bottlenecks?

This reflection highlights gaps that cost time, money, and energy.
