Today, in our throwback episode. Our host, Bob, shares that the topic of the financial model is the engine of your business. It drives pricing, margins, efficiency, and profitability. In this episode, we break down what a strong financial model looks like — and how hidden gaps can quietly erode revenue and stall growth.

We walk through a real client transformation: restructuring their financial model, tightening pricing discipline, and scaling into a seven-figure operation. You’ll see the exact metrics that mattered and the decisions that moved the needle.

Finally, we unpack Tony Robbins’ 20% net income benchmark, what healthy margins actually look like, and how to scale with clarity instead of guesswork. If you’re focused on cash flow, profit optimization, and smarter strategic decisions, this conversation is essential listening.
