I’m here to save you months of frustration and guesswork when launching your advisory offer. I've seen too many brilliant advisors create services that nobody buys, or worse, that lead to complete burnout. I know this pain firsthand—my first offer had me driving three hours each way for a client and earning next to nothing. It was messy and unsustainable, and I was miserable.

That experience forced me to develop a system, my 7-step Launch Ready Method, that I'm sharing with you today on this episode of the Business Advisor Podcast. This isn't about selling fluff or just "building a funnel". It's the essential groundwork for creating a profitable, scalable advisory service that clients are genuinely eager to buy. I’ll walk you through everything from validating the real problem to marketing with purpose, so you can build a “Freedom Practice” that serves you, not a “Monster Business” that drains you. Let’s build something that truly works.

Key Takeaways

1. Start with the Client's Pain, Not Your Product.

"Great advisory offers aren't built in your head. They're built in response to what your clients actually want and what others aren't giving them." - Amanda C. Watts

2. Package Transformation, Not Time: Clients don't purchase hours, tasks, or a list of deliverables; they invest in a clear and desirable outcome. 

"People don't buy time; they buy results. They buy momentum, they buy clarity and progress, and they buy transformation." - Amanda C. Watts

3. Price on Impact, Not Effort: Your fee should be a reflection of the value and transformation you create, not the hours you work. 

"Your clients... don't want to buy hours. They want to buy the result, the return, and the relief that they get from actually working with you." - Amanda C. Watts

4. Intentionally Design Your Business Model for Freedom.

"If you don't stop to think about your business structure, the monster business builds itself." - Amanda C. Watts

5.  Never launch a new offer to the public without first testing it in a controlled environment. 

"The goal here is not for you to be perfect. It's about feedback, its proof, and its confidence in what works and clarity on what doesn't." - Amanda C. Watts
