    Get Ruthless About The Clients You Serve

    Let’s get real for a second: not all clients are created equal. Some are a joy to work with—they respect your expertise, pay your fees without flinching, and actually get the value you bring to the table. Others… well, let’s just say they make you question your life choices. If you’ve ever found yourself dreading a client call, you know exactly what I’m talking about. So here’s my argument, plain and simple: now is the time to focus only on the right clients. The difference between great clients and the wrong ones isn’t just a matter of preference—it’s the difference between building a thriving business and running yourself into the ground.

    Why No One Will Buy Your Professional Service Business

    This one might hurt, but you need to hear it. If you'd like to exit your consultancy, agency, or other professional service business..and you have built it like 99% of entrepreneurs in this space... It probably won't happen. Or, you'll get a low price with terrible terms. Why? The way most professional service businesses are built and managed goes against what buyers are looking for. It's because of the same reason you're probably stuck at low seven-figures, despite having been at it for quite some time. I also show how you can 10x (or more) the value of your service business. Hint: Productize. Standardize. Systematize. Build recurring revenue offers. Diversify your client base. And most of all... Get. Off. The. Org. Chart. Your business is too dependent on you, the founder (for everything). You ARE the business. Click the link in the comments, watch the video and set up a free valuation and assessment call with me, if you're interested in solving this massive issue (it might be worth millions to you, not kidding).   thesimplecompany.com/meeting For free resources and to check out our offerings, go to thesimplecompany.com

    Why Your Service Firm Is No Longer Growing (And What To Do)

    Most professional service firms stop growing at a couple of million (or a few million) in annual revenue. There is a logical reason for it, and to solve the problem, you need to think about your business model, and what kind of business you want. There are two main models to choose between:  1. A customized business.  2. A standardized business. There are benefits (and cons) to both, however I'll choose the standardized business all day long. And, you can keep a bit of customization...as you'll learn. If you want help building and growing your agency or consultancy, go to thesimplecompany.com and follow the links, check out resources, training, or book a call with me.  Read the full article and post here:  https://thesimplecompany.com/why-your-service-firm-is-no-longer-growing/ For free resources and to check out our offerings, go to thesimplecompany.com
