Daily business wisdom as I put on my shoes. Todayโ€™s topic: profit. Profit isnโ€™t natural. Low profit = canโ€™t pay yourself, canโ€™t hire well, canโ€™t grow. There are the 5 moves I use with agency owners. I turned this into a simple checklist. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Reply โ€œPROFITโ€ and Iโ€™ll send it.

If you're an expert and you like doing the work, don't productize your service. Build packages that are easy to sell, easy to deliver, and give you lots of profit and freedom. (Give me a follow for more content like this)

Professional basketball players don't wait to hire a coach until they're at the top of their game. They hire a coach to GET THEM to the top of their game. And once they're there, they have multiple.

The right opportunity vehicle will take you a lot further in a shorter period of time. Selling to better clients. Charging more to get better results. Higher value services. If you're working super hard and not getting very far, you might need a different vehicle.

Action gets results, but when the decision is higher consequence, you need to slow down and make the right decision so that you can go faster later.

This is the foundation of a digital service business. One high value skill One ideal client One acquisition channel (that you create, not find) Loads of proof Then it just becomes about more volume, more experience, and raising your rates as you bring more value.

Are you struggling to sell 12-month retainers in 2026? It's harder than I've ever seen in my 15 years of consulting. So stop selling them. Instead, sell a paid analysis. Then sell a 3-month retainer/project. And THEN, and only then, sell a 12-month retainer.

You don't wait to go to a doctor until you're healthy. So why would you wait to hire a coach until you have everything figured out? The whole purpose of a coach is to get to where you want to go faster. Don't wait.

If you are an expert solo freelancer or consultant making $100k per year, you need an assistant. Even 10 hours a week. Handling billing, chasing payments, scheduling calls, etc. You canโ€™t grow without help.

I learned this video trick in high school - always have changes of clothes on hand so you can get into character. I find that changing my clothes, especially my shoes, gets me into a different character. Treat online video the same as presenting in person.

Just a reminder that you can simply reach out to people and ask if they want to hire you. Most will say no. Some may get mad. But some will hire you. And those are the only ones that matter.
