Today, we discuss the importance of structuring your business model to cater to both recurring and one-time problems, and how creating systems around your services can help ease marketing, sales, and delivery. We break down the pros and cons of one-time projects vs. recurring offers. Specifically, how focusing on one-time projects offers more flexibility in scaling your business and managing client expectations, and how recurring problems can provide stable revenue but run you into a capacity ceiling. Discover the balance between customizing your offerings and productizing them to increase efficiency, and learn why having a structured approach is critical to growing without overwhelming your capacity.
