  • 12 Strategies To Increase Profits For 2026 With Diane Gardner
    Dec 22 2025

    You can change the direction of your business with a few simple daily steps. I have 12 strategies to increase profit to share as a parting 12 days of Christmas gift for you. Your business numbers tell a story, and these strategies help you understand that story so you can finish the year strong.

    When I looked back at my own progress this year, I noticed real improvements hiding in plain sight, the kind we often miss because we never slow down long enough to see what has gotten better. Sneaky Leaky loves when we rush past the wins and ignore the areas that quietly drain our cash, so this episode focuses on quick actions that give you more control.

    By the end, you will have twelve practical ways to steady your cashflow, strengthen your team, and step into the new year with confidence.

    What You'll Learn…

    • Why simple year-end habits shape predictable growth for your business

    • How strategies to increase profit start with understanding your real numbers

    • The one action that strengthens customer relationships before January even begins

    • How recurring revenue gives you stability when slow season hits

  • Why Documented Processes Protect and Grow Your Profits With Karen Hairston
    Dec 15 2025

    Chaos creeps into your business the moment your team is unsure of the next step, and that is when Sneaky Leaky takes full advantage. I saw this firsthand when Karen described how a simple software update left her team staring at a screen that no longer matched the documented processes they relied on. Those small moments of confusion add up in ways owners rarely see, from slower jobs to frustrated customers to money slipping away one missed button click at a time.

    When your team has a clear path to follow, they move with confidence and give every job the quality and consistency your customers expect. In this episode, we break down how strong processes protect your profits and keep your business running smoothly even when things change around you.

    What You'll Learn…

    • Why documented processes keep your team consistent even when things change

    • How to reduce wasted time inside daily tasks

    • The one shift that helps your techs work with confidence instead of constant check ins

    • Why documented processes speed up training and strengthen your culture

    • How to avoid the profit drain that happens when each person does work their own way

    • The real cost of slow decision making and how to remove it from your jobs

    • How clear systems make your business easier to run and protect your margins
