Show Notes
If your business moves feel safe, familiar, and vaguely exhausting… you might be playing not to lose.
And here’s the kicker: playing not to lose still makes you lose.
In this episode of The Elevated Edit, Blaklee unpacks the game-changing mindset shift inspired by Playing to Win by Lafley & Martin—and how most entrepreneurs are unintentionally building their business to avoid failure instead of chasing bold success.
You’ll learn:
- The real difference between playing to win vs. playing not to lose
- Five filters to audit your business strategy: offers, pricing, delivery, content, and structure
- Why overdelivering, underpricing, and playing it safe are keeping you stuck
- A challenge to help you make one bold CEO-level move this week
Power Moves:
- Choose one area of your business this week—offer, pricing, client delivery, content, or structure—and make the decision a winner would make.
- Shift your lens: Where are you reacting from fear instead of acting from strategy?
