What if clients lined up for you instead of you chasing them?

In this episode, I show you 12 ways selling out changes everything – your confidence, your focus, your pricing power, even how your clients behave.

Feeling scattered because you’re offering every service under the sun to every kind of client?

In this episode, I talk about the real cost of being in too many lanes — the wasted time, the extra software, the messy systems, and the lost leverage. I’ll walk you through the four lanes you can choose from, how to decide on your primary lane, and when it actually makes sense to allow exceptions.
