74: Why Everything Starts with Your Scalable Offer


Listen Later

Your scalable offer is where everything starts. It informs your operations, your team, your pricing, and your client experience.

In Episode 67, I introduced the concept of a scalable offer, and the response was overwhelming (in a good way). Clients and listeners have been rethinking how they structure their services, teams, and operations around this one idea.

In this follow-up episode, I go deeper into how to design a scalable offer that creates more freedom, profit, and impact. I share why I no longer teach building a business around your Zone of Genius (and what to focus on instead), how to identify when you've built a "menu" instead of an offer, and what it looks like to narrow your focus even when it feels uncomfortable.

You'll also hear real examples from consultants who've done this work—from fractional fundraisers and grant consultants to strategic planners—so you can see how these shifts play out in practice.

Mentioned in this episode:
