  • [6] On Writing a Book: Why Write a Book?

    Writing a book is high on most content creators list. But why? What is the allure of writing a book? Most of us who have the knowledge base and authority to write a book already have an established platform upon which to share their message. A book is the next logical step for most of us, but it is also a massive undertaking and one that requires a lot of work to be worth the effort.

  • [5] Non-Horrible Business Right-Sizing

    How do you scale your business without compromising the product you've worked so hard to build the right way? Navigating this paradigm shift is a difficult one, and something that takes a lot of foresight and intentionality.

    Some effective methods of growth we like include:

    • Hiring an assistant, effectively giving you more time
    • Delegating to contractors with specialized focus
    • Hiring full-time employees to focus on one aspect of your business
    • Raising rates to allow you to focus more on customer relationships

      • Most of these methods focus around adding people to your organization.

      Other methods along the leverage path:

      • offering group coaching
      • adding products
      • Selling strategy sessions instead of implementing a service
