Every successful business starts with a clear direction. But knowing where you want to go isn’t enough. You need the right people, systems, financial discipline, and growth strategies to get there.
That’s what the Lion’s Challenge is all about.
Join Liz Trotter for nine live, virtual challenges throughout 2027, each designed to help you tackle a critical part of building a stronger residential cleaning company.
Each challenge stands on its own, so you can join whenever you’re ready. Attend throughout the year, and you’ll build on what you’ve accomplished as you move from clarity and strategy to execution, leadership, profitability, and growth.
Start where you are. Move forward.
Your next step, throughout the year

One Challenge at a Time. A Stronger Business All Year Long.
Every Lion’s Challenge follows the Core Profit Builders Align → Act → Accelerate approach.

ACT
Make decisions, apply practical strategies, and begin building the tools and systems your business needs.
ACCELERATE
Turn what you’ve learned into clear priorities, measurable commitments, and meaningful action.
Each challenge is designed to deliver value on its own. You don’t have to attend the previous events to participate, and you don’t have to wait for the beginning of a new series.
Optional implementation support
Go further with the VIP Implementation Lab
For owners who want to go further, the optional VIP Implementation Lab provides additional hands-on time to complete the challenge’s Signature Asset and prepare it for use in their business.
Register for the Lion’s Challenge: $17. Upgrade to VIP: add $80.
Your business doesn’t face the same challenges all year long, and your development shouldn’t stand still either.
Each Lion’s Challenge addresses a different part of business ownership. Together, they create a connected journey that helps you strengthen your business from the inside out.
