Master the Lion's Challenge 2027 — nine live virtual challenges with Core Profit Builders

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

Your 2027 Lion’s Challenge Lineup

Survey the Territory

Challenge: Clarity & Business Alignment

Before you can lead your business somewhere better, you need to understand exactly where you stand.

Your Mission: Gain the clarity to stop reacting and start making intentional decisions about your business.

Challenge: Strategic Direction & Business Positioning

Define your ideal clients, sharpen your competitive positioning, and identify the strategic priorities that will guide your decisions.

Your Mission: Establish a clear strategic direction and make deliberate choices about where your business will focus.

One Challenge at a Time. A Stronger Business All Year Long.

Every Lion’s Challenge follows the Core Profit Builders Align → Act → Accelerate approach.

ALIGN

Understand the challenge, evaluate your current reality, and identify what matters most.

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.

Why Attend Throughout the Year?

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.

Whether you attend one event or all nine, the objective remains the same:

Better Thinking. Better Decisions. Better Execution.

Ready to Take On Your Next Challenge?

You don’t need to solve everything at once. You need to identify what matters most and take the next meaningful step.

Join us for the next Lion’s Challenge and start building a business that’s more profitable, more professional, and less dependent on you.
