Not Just Revenue

I kick off by ranting about an overcrowded, overpriced train journey with my family, being told there was “no room,” then watching first class stay empty unless you pay extra, before pulling out the business lesson: treat everyone like a customer, no matter what they spend, and give your warm leads VIP-level care. Then I celebrate client wins from June–August.

In this episode I'm challenging the belief that you’re “not a numbers person,” because numbers touch every part of business: income goals, pricing, capacity, audience growth, conversion rates, content strategy, cash flow, and decision-making. I explain how outsourcing to accountants or bookkeepers without understanding your own numbers creates guilt, avoidance, and bad investments, and I also remind you that big revenue claims online don’t mean someone is keeping or managing that money well. My point: you don’t need mental maths... use tools, spreadsheets, and even AI, but you do need to understand your numbers to grow sustainably.

I’m talking about why so many people think they “need a launch” and why launching on its own isn’t a strategy unless it’s a strategic decision. I share four non-strategic reasons I see all the time and explain why you should validate an offer and have systems ready before spotlighting it, and I land on the simplest alternative: make an invitation to your offer every day. I share examples of DM follow-ups and how consistent selling creates inquiries and sales without a big launch.

In this episode I share four hills I’ll die on as a business strategist: simplify your offer suite down to one core offer so you can actually learn to sell, market, and deliver it repeatably; pay yourself a realistic consistent set salary; understand your own numbers even if you have an accountant/bookkeeper; and commit to messy, consistent execution — because that’s what keeps the business moving.

This week’s episode is all about sales calls and conversions, because I’ve had a flurry of interest and my sales call conversion rate is around 80%. The reason it’s so high isn’t a script, it’s that my business is designed so people are basically already sold before they book...

This week I'm talking about dopamine chasing in your business, and I'm calling myself out. I get into the difference between dopamine seeking and plain old scarcity, why repeatable revenue is never an accident, and why the businesses that actually compound are the boring, held-steady ones... not the ones throwing spaghetti at the wall every time a launch goes quiet.

This week on Not Just a Revenue, I’m ruffling feathers after a Threads conversation about whether a Gmail address changes how people perceive your business... That spirals into a bigger point: so many things we normalise online wouldn’t fly in “real” businesses, and if we want people to spend serious money with us, we need to look and operate like we mean it. I’m calling myself out too for playing small, charging pittance, and setting “safe” goals that shrink my income.

This week I’m talking about auditing your client journey, because I keep seeing the same gaps where people are missing out on potential revenue. I break the journey into five stages: cold leads, warm leads, hot leads, current clients, and past clients, and I share what to look for at each point. If you want help mapping and simplifying all of this, I share how we do it inside my 1:1 offer, Momentum.

In this episode I share how to simplify an online business that’s become a franken-business from too many strategies, offers, and platforms – stressing that the only things that really matter are you and your client.

In today’s episode I’m unpacking a question I think most business owners need to hear: do you actually have a marketing problem, or is something else broken underneath? I share why I don’t see marketing conferences as the solution when most of us already “know the stuff” but aren’t doing the do, and why marketing should come at the end, not the beginning. Instead of starting with content and hoping for sales, I walk through flipping the process: set a revenue goal, build and price offers to hit that goal, use conversion rates and audience data, and then market based on what the numbers tell you.
