Let’s get real for a second: not all clients are created equal. Some are a joy to work with—they respect your expertise, pay your fees without flinching, and actually get the value you bring to the table. Others… well, let’s just say they make you question your life choices. If you’ve ever found yourself dreading a client call, you know exactly what I’m talking about. So here’s my argument, plain and simple: now is the time to focus only on the right clients. The difference between great clients and the wrong ones isn’t just a matter of preference—it’s the difference between building a thriving business and running yourself into the ground.

This one might hurt, but you need to hear it. If you'd like to exit your consultancy, agency, or other professional service business..and you have built it like 99% of entrepreneurs in this space... It probably won't happen. Or, you'll get a low price with terrible terms. Why? The way most professional service businesses are built and managed goes against what buyers are looking for. It's because of the same reason you're probably stuck at low seven-figures, despite having been at it for quite some time. I also show how you can 10x (or more) the value of your service business. Hint: Productize. Standardize. Systematize. Build recurring revenue offers. Diversify your client base. And most of all... Get. Off. The. Org. Chart. Your business is too dependent on you, the founder (for everything). You ARE the business.

Most professional service firms stop growing at a couple of million (or a few million) in annual revenue. There is a logical reason for it, and to solve the problem, you need to think about your business model, and what kind of business you want. There are two main models to choose between: 1. A customized business. 2. A standardized business. There are benefits (and cons) to both, however I'll choose the standardized business all day long. And, you can keep a bit of customization...as you'll learn. If you want help building and growing your agency or consultancy, go to thesimplecompany.com and follow the links, check out resources, training, or book a call with me.

Happy New Year! You want to grow this year, and I know it. So do I. But, not so fast. Before you go for "more", make sure you don't grow the parts of your business that are not healthy and profitable. First, analyse your business, then simplify it. Then scale it. Do it by understanding the core geometry of your business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QySeOekYg8c&t=270s Hope you enjoy the episode, I recommend watching the YouTube version (because of visuals): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QySeOekYg8c&t=270s Wanna work with me?

The Process For Simplifying To Scale 1. Simplify Most businesses lose focus on their most impactful activities over time. Adding “more” can allow complexity to creep in, and this is the silent killer of profitability and growth. Complexity leads to mediocrity, and mediocrity will eventually kill a business. Simplifying creates leverage. It’s about two key activities: focus and design. Focus: Identify and prioritize the highest-value activities while eliminating or delegating the rest. This applies to your best customers, offerings, processes, people—everything. Design: Enhance the “best stuff” to make it more useful, enjoyable, functional, and aesthetic. This includes improving the front stage (propositions, customer experiences, etc.) and the back stage (systems, operations, etc.) of your business. This is what Steve Jobs did when he returned to Apple in 1997, transforming it into the world’s first trillion-dollar company. 2. Systematize Once you’ve simplified and identified the most profitable areas of your business, the next step is to build systems around them. Your systems should answer key questions: How will you systematically generate leads? How will you convert leads into sales? How will you consistently deliver value at a profit? How will you retain clients? Your system should handle most of the heavy lifting, ensuring sustainable growth. 3. Scale Scaling is where things get exciting. Focus on six key metrics that I call The Money Equation™. By scaling the most profitable, impactful areas, you unlock the power of compounding. For example: Grow your leads through referral systems, partnerships, and direct outreach. Increase conversions with a better offering, enhanced sales processes, and improved skills. Engage with past clients through relationship-building and follow-ups. Retain clients longer by adding back-end offers and improving the client experience. Improve margins with better business models, automation, and cost control. In my playbook, I’ve identified over 100 proven growth multipliers. Implementing just a handful of these can more than double your profits in 6–12 months. In Summary Simplify: Find and focus on the most profitable areas of your business. Systematize: Build processes that enable profitable, predictable, and scalable growth. Scale: Implement growth multipliers to amplify your results exponentially. This is my Simple Company Method. Wanna work with me? I partner with companies to implement this process and help you boost your profits + scale your business. email: hello[at]thesimplecompany.com Tobias For free resources and to check out our offerings, go to thesimplecompany.com…

Entrepreneurs are a special breed. That's why we are not understood by "normal" people around us. We're the crazy ones. The dreamers. There is a special energy about entrepreneurs, isn't there? That's why we need to find our tribe and stick to it. Joining a community or mastermind group (like Original Minds) can be game-changing. In this episode, I share why.

It's been 16 years since I gave up my monthly salary as an employee. And it was a good salary too. But entrepreneurship chose me, and I just tried to resist it. But it came knocking, and I surrendered. In this episode, I share four key meta-level lessons that I have learned from my years in the game. If I had to start all over, I would not negotiate these...I hope you get value from them.

Sure, it's almost four months until the new year. But if you start executing 2025 in 2025, you will not achieve your goals (if they are ambitious). In this episode, I share why now is the time to fix what needs to be fixed for 2025, and how to look at five core areas of your business specifically.

Growing a business is hard enough when you go at it alone. I used to think I needed to build everything myself, and that took so much time while also including risk, money, and other resources. As entrepreneurs, we're conditioned to exploit our own time and resources for profit. But what if there is another way, one that gives you more leverage and a faster path to growth? Partnerships are that path. In this episode I share how you can supercharge your growth and have unlimited leads and resources by tapping into this amazing strategy.

In this episode, I share one of my favorite topics (obsessions), which is to figure out Why customers should choose a specific brand and offering and how that brand/offering can become so relevant and valuable that it leads to "onlyness" (being seen as the only viable choice).

In this episode, I share three levers that you can pull to achieve an exit of more than $10 million dollars, even if your earnings are under $1 million. In fact, these levers work at any level, but in this episode, I show how a company doing $500k in earnings (EBITDA or SDE) could achieve an exit at a 20x multiple in as little as 2-3 years. I'm talking about: Valuation x Growth x Arbitrage If you want help with planning an exit, selling your company, or if you want to be part of a roll-up, email me at tobias[at]thesimplecompany.com For free resources and to check out our offerings, go to thesimplecompany.com…
If you want to scale your agency or consultancy, you have to productize. Trying to satisfy the ever-changing needs and wants of clients is a good idea, but it is not usually a profitable, sustainable, and scalable business model. Why? Because you're likely shifting your "assembly line" all the time. You need to standardize and systematize. I am opening my productization program Beta™ for new clients over the next couple of weeks. You'll build a productized service offering in 30 days - then you'll have a business asset you can sell forever. www.hesimplecompany.com/beta And watch the video to learn more about The Simple Company® philosophy.

Do you know your magic number? I mean, do you imagine what amount of money you would need to receive in order for you to exit your business? Or do you think about what your business is worth? And is there a big gap between the two numbers? What if I told you that you are probably operating your business in a way that makes it worth only a fraction of its potential? And what if I offered you to share how you could more than 10x (possibly a lot more) the valuation of your company in 1-3 years? Read more on my blog: tobias.blog (What Is Your Magic Number).
