Ditch The Old, Embrace Profitability – Your Agency’s New Era
Let’s get real about traditional agency services. They’re outdated, exhausting, and – let’s not sugar coat it – they’re just not profitable. Working round the clock, chasing invoices, managing unrealistic client expectations – it’s a one-way ticket to burnout, and for what? Margins thinner than tracing paper. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. I found myself…
Read MoreStop feeling sleezy when selling
I’ll be honest, I’ve never felt “sleezy” when selling except for one time. Selling satellite TV door to door. The reason it felt sleezy, was because I was using every trick in the book to sell something to people who couldn’t really afford it, and who didn’t need it. Not a day goes by when…
Read MoreFrom side gig to full time
Let’s get to the point, shall we? You’ve got a side hustle. But here’s the thing, it’s still a side hustle because you’re not treating it like a business. Yeah, I get it; I was there too, writing blog posts during lunch breaks and late nights. When I moved into my current house and had…

So, I was at this swanky business event a while ago, sipping on something I can’t pronounce. You know the drill: you’ve got your best business attire on, and you’re ready to network. That’s when I hear it, the most dreaded question at these events: “So, what do you do?” I looked him dead in…
Read MoreTime is Money? Nah, Value is Money.
In 2014, I was in a rut—burned out, overworked, and underpaid. I kept hustling, adding more hours, but my revenue was stuck, and I was exhausted. Then came the game-changing insight: I was valuing my time, not my expertise. I decided it was time for a major pivot. I began to focus solely on businesses…

You haven’t done anything enough UNTIL you know your numbers. Know Your Numbers. Back in 2019 I was looking at our sales and revenue and I was scratching my head. “What is happening? We’re doing emails, YouTube, Facebook, Insta, TikTok, webinars, podcasts, books, interviews but we STILL aren’t raking in the money!” I couldn’t figure…
Read MoreHow to get everything you want – overcome fear
I think the definition of confidence is being sure of the result before you’ve actually committed to the action. But one of the things I’ve learned is that if you want to overcome fear and start getting more of the things you want, you have to jump first and start building your wings on the…
Read MoreHow to negotiate when they ask for a discount (still profitable)
So, what do you do if the customer starts to negotiate with you? You’ve put a proposal down. You said, “Look, it’s going to cost 25 grand for this project.” The first thing they’ve said to you is, “We were really hoping we could do it for 20, or could you do us a discount?”…
