September 13, 2018 My Profits Are Being Eaten! How Do I Scale but Stay Profitable?
This week I'm coaching Luis Diaz, who has a podcast agency in the fitness entrepreneurship space. You can find Luis on his Instagram. Like with any new business, Luis's agency is having some growing pains. As he's gained clients, it's become harder and harder to scale his revenue without scaling the cost of providing the service. He's feeling stuck. How can he scale, both in terms of growth and revenue? And as he scales, how can he better manage his team and systems so he can focus where he needs to?

On the show with me today is Jacques Hopkins, who owns a very successful business called Pianoin21Days.com. He also has a successful YouTube channel. Jacques is at a point where he wants to create better sales funnels for his business, specifically through audience segmentation.

August 23, 2018 How Do I Expand outside My Local Area and Go Online?
I've got Debbie Tringale on the show today, a dog training expert with a very special superpower, or "unfair advantage" as I like to call it.

Find out more about Debbie at MeandMyDogs.biz.

August 02, 2018 I'm at My "Client Limit" - How Do I Go Solo to Agency?
The issue with a service-based business is that you can only scale so big before you either burn out or stop delivering quality work, and that's what's happening with today's guest, Julienne DesJardins. She's reaching her client limit but knows she can help a lot more people, so she's expanded her business to include a team. The problem that she's running into is that people don't want the team—they want her. How can she keep her brand running under her name but with a team behind it? And how should she package her business services?
By the way, if you're on Twitter or Instagram, let me know what you thought of this episode. I know a lot of you probably have had this issue of growing outside of yourself and your business, so give me a shout out using the hashtag #askpat1027. I'd love to know your thoughts!

July 26, 2018 How Can I Monetize My Hobby Website? Can It Make Money?
Emory is my guest on the show today. He has a hobby website called ByLand.co. He's a backpacker who once hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, and so his website is in the backpacking niche. He also runs a podcast called The By Land Podcast. I'm going to coach Emory so he can monetize that site, go full-time with his business, and help more people backpack better. Stick around!
