In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we’re looking at a trap disguised as safety:

the referral-only business.

You think it’s working.

You’ve got trusted contacts.

Deals keep coming in.

Until… they don’t.

Your top referral source retires.The firm restructures.Someone else takes their place—and suddenly, you’re not on the list anymore.

Today’s story features Renee Carver, an elite estate planning attorney whose entire client flow came from one powerhouse referral partner—until that partner walked in with cupcakes and news that would change her business overnight.

Inside this episode, you'll learn:

• Why referral overdependence creates false security
• How to avoid the feast-and-famine cycle affluent professionals don’t talk about
• What it takes to build a client attraction system you actually control
• The quiet danger of “borrowed visibility” and how to fix it
• What to do when your biggest referral source disappears—and you realize you were never as secure as you thought

If you’ve been “too busy for marketing” because referrals have kept you fed, this episode is your warning shot—and your roadmap out.
