[6] On Writing a Book: Why Write a Book? Feb 15, 2016

Show notes

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 Feb 08, 2016

Show notes

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
