How To Get Off The Tools 

In this episode we explore: 

 - Put down the tools to achieve greater freedom, profit and growth.    

 - Get clear on your role and your value, then make a plan.   

 - Learn a simple strategy to...

When I first became a Director of the consultancy that we would later go on to grow to $30M. 

We were doing about $3M per year. 

There were 4 x Directors - and we were doing everything in the business. 

Strategy, running projects, client meetings, invoicing, admin, board meetings, chasing overdue payments. 

Everything. 

We had team, but no one in roles designed to take work off our plates. 

We wanted to grow - but we were drowning. 

We very quickly realised that we had built a business that completely relied on us. 

And it didn’t feel great. 

So we got strategic and mapped out the org chart that would take us to $6M. 

We mapped out our roles and what we wanted to be doing to be running a $6M business. 

And we mapped out the roles that we needed others to take off our plate.  

We started with admin - that was the quickest win....

I was chatting yesterday with an incredible client Mark. 

He and his business partner have just had 2 x consecutive biggest months ever in their business. 

And they’re on track for their 3rd! 

When we first started working together, they were doing an average of $120K to $140K months. 

A $1.4M per year business. 

Marks just let me know they’ve just had a $175K month and then a $231K month. 

And next month they’re on track for $260K! 

When I first met them, they: 

 → Were getting dragged into the day to day of their business. 

 → Had tried some generic business coaching. 

 → Were wanting to grow and take their business to that next level. 

So we got to work. 

Together we worked on: 

Our Business Gameplan and our Business Stages Roadmap frameworks for where they wanted to take their business. ...

Before I started my coaching business, I was a director and shareholder of a consultancy that we grew from $3M to $30M over a nine year period. 

It was an incredible journey. 

I experienced “all the things” as we grew. 

One of the things that was a huge focus for us, was our profit margins. 

They would fluctuate wildly. 

From month to month and depending on what phase of business growth we were in. 

From single figures through to 30 plus %. 

Not good. 

Particularly as we had shareholders to pay dividends to.  

And our growth strategy was M & A - which was heavily reliant on good, consistent profit margins. 

We could never quite pinpoint what was going on. 

Until we got serious about tracking the numbers & the metrics that actually mattered. 

This was a game changer.  

This made all the...

Hiring the wrong person into your business can be devastating

Here are 3 strategies to help you spend high-value time on your business - every single week. 

Time. It’s everyone’s most precious resource. 

You can’t create more of it. 

No matter how hard you try! 

And when the hours are gone - they’re gone. 

You make the mistake of thinking that the harder you work… 

…the more you’ll get done. 

And that’s true - to a point.  

But usually working harder is just ‘busy work’. 

Ticking smaller or short term tasks off the list. 

So you feel good about yourself.  

But deep inside, you know… 

…that you’re still running on the hamster wheel. 

Barely keeping up and running hard just to keep all the plates spinning. 

You know you’re not really spending high-value time on your business. 

...

I hope you had a great week. 

Here we are, already in August!  
 

In case you missed it, here’s what we covered on the podcast over the last month: 

The Secret To Reaching $3M (And Beyond) 

In this episode we explore: 

 - Owners often fall into the trap of being generalists, which dilutes effectiveness. 

 - To hit $1M revenue, focus on one ideal client and deliver quality results consistently. 

 - I’ll share strategies to reach $1M and beyond to $3M.

Why You Need A GM 

In this episode we explore: 

 - Why a GM is crucial for scaling your business at $2-3M and beyond.  

 - How a GM can help buy back your time to focus on strategic growth.   

...

All clients are equal right? Wrong. 

The quality of clients you have directly impact the success of your business. 

Is your revenue growth stalling? 

Are your profit margins not where you want them to be? 

Are you and your team spending too much time on projects? 

With needy and draining clients. 

Who take up your time. 

But aren’t willing to pay you what you’re worth? 

And don’t truly value your input & expertise? 

Yes? 

Might be time to take a look at your client base. 

And make a plan to trade them in for a newer model! 

If you’re looking to build a better business - upgrading your clients is a core part of the strategy. 

It can be tricky navigating this process - particularly if you’ve developed close relationships with some of your lower grade clients. 

Or they’ve come to...

I’ve just been chatting with Kevin, an incredible client in Boardroom.  

And we’ve been celebrating his recent results.  

From maxed out and looking to grow → winning work consistently and building a solid revenue pipeline. 

When Kevin joined us he was sitting nicely on $50K months. 

Now, 7 months into working together, he’s hitting high $90K months. 

Kevin just sent me this message... 

“Thanks Josh. Trying to crack the 6 digit months. Been hectic but going good so far” 

When we first started working with Kevin, he: 

→ Was not well known in his market. 

→ Had an inconsistent pipeline of work. 

→ Was spending zero time on business strategy and needed help and guidance. 

So we got to work. 

Together we worked on: 

Installing our LinkedIn lead generation system into his business. 

...

Looking for ways to generate more revenue from doing less? 

And make more profit in the process? 

I’ve just finished a coaching session with an incredible client Bill.  

The focus of our session was around building a more efficient business. 

And looking at ways to work less, but generate more revenue. 

And increase profit margins in the process. 

Sounds like utopia right??!! 

It’s definitely possible. 

Let me show you how.  

So we dived into his client base. 

He’s just analysed all his clients over the past 5 years. 

Of the 110 clients he’s worked with - 80% of his revenue has come from just 35 clients. 

The other 20% in revenue has come from the remaining 75 clients. 

Pretty interesting stats right? 

I’d say your business would look something similar. 

So we made a...
