Listen "How We Almost Went Out of Business and The Moves That Fixed Everything"
Episode Synopsis
Want fewer sleepless nights, better clients, healthier margins? This episode is here to help you build a business that not just survives the plot twists, but help you confidently run your business on your terms.You'll learn how to stop "accommodating yourself out of business," switch from half-now/half-later to paid-in-full (without backlash), and why "industry standard" is not a business strategy. We'll show you how to raise prices during uncertainty (built-in excuse!), set non-negotiable boundaries, and politely ditch price-shoppers so you can attract clients who actually value your process. You'll walk away with the mindset shift to run your company your way, the courage (and scripts) to say "no" without flinching, and a simple filter to decide which policies to change today so you never get caught cash-starved again.
