You hit $1.2M in revenue — but $840K comes from one client. One contract. One decision maker. One email away from unraveling everything.
If more than half your revenue depends on a single client, you’re not free — you’re trapped in golden handcuffs.
This episode isn’t about losing your biggest client — it’s about building a business where no single client holds your future hostage. With AI as your strategic partner, you can finally protect your revenue, diversify your client base, and scale without starting from scratch.
In this episode, you’ll learn…
- Why having 70% of your revenue tied to one client is more dangerous than having none at all (and the real story that proves it).
- My AI-powered, 3-phase diversification plan to reduce dependency without blowing up your business.
- How to use AI prompts to audit your revenue, find mirror clients, and build scalable systems that protect your future.
This episode at a glance:
“Client concentration above 50% isn’t success. It’s a warning sign.”
“The better your biggest client treats you, the more trapped you become.”
“AI isn’t just efficiency — it’s your risk management system.”
“Your talent doesn’t belong to one client. Protect it with systems that let you grow on your terms.”
“The key to diversification isn’t just finding new clients. It’s building systems so you don’t get trapped again.”
