[THREAD]: 6 Things More Business Owners Should Talk About:

1. Doing less, but better
2. Showcasing their playbook
3. Building around your lifestyle
4. Demonstrating value with stages
5. Overruling the client when they're wrong
6. Raising prices to a level that makes you nervous

Too many business owners spread themselves thin trying to be everything to everyone.

The Pareto Principle tells us that 80% of our results come from 20% of our work.

Focus on the highest ROI projects.

Ignore/outsource the rest.

Become prolific at showing off your results.

Do this and you won't have to spend hours on the phone pitching. Clients will seek you out and convince you to work with them.

Stop waiting until 65 to retire and enjoy life.

Build a business that integrates into your optimal life today.

Plus, if you're loving life, it will incentivize you to keep earning and pursue more opportunities.

Don't make a client wait until the end of the project to see results.

Have check-ins at each stage to showcase the value of what you've done.

This also helps prevent unexpected surprises/misaligned expectations.

They hired you for a reason, right?

If you just follow their lead, you'll end up with weak results.

You're the subject matter expertโ€”push back.

Tell them when they're wrong, but provide solutions.

If you don't value yourself, what makes you think others will?

Charging more keeps the workload manageable. (See #1)

It ensures you have the time and resources to exceed expectations.
