  • 9. Building Your Packages with Legos
    Feb 8 2022

    I spend a lot of time playing Legos with my 5-year-old daughter. Recently, with some advice from my coach Pia Silva, I had the realization that service providers should build their packages like Lego houses.

    Some clients just need a little shack, and they would need your "small" package.
    Some will need a farmhouse, and they would need your "medium" package.
    Some will need a castle, and they would need your "large" package.

    Definitely list your prices on your website, but don't box yourself in or exclude potential clients by making an exhaustive list of every service included in each package. Every project will look different, but you can think of it in terms of how many Legos you need.

  • 8. It's Not About The Money
    Jan 25 2022

    When building and running your business, it's important to understand why you're even doing it. But often, people will stop at wanting to make more money as their reason for running a business.


    Is that really the reason, though? What will that 6-figure income allow you to do? What do you hope to get out of it? Why don't you want to be back in the corporate environment?


    I promise, it's not all about wanting more money.

  • 7. Software Tools, Oh My!
    Jan 18 2022

    One of my favorite topics is software tools. As a software engineer and brand and website designer, I live and breathe software. It's easy to get excited about new, shiny tools, but before making the leap, think about a few things first:

    • Does it fit into your budget? If the tool costs more than your revenue, don't get it!
    • Are you going to use most of the features? Is it going to make your experience better? What about your client's experience?
    • How is the tool when you use it? Is the interface intuitive to you? This is when it's a good idea to use the trial to get a feel for it.
    • How's the support system? There are going to be issues. Do they have helpful documentation?
    • How well does the software integrate with other software?

    Take the time to write down your flow, your customer journey map, and map out where you would use which tools. It's also a good idea to audit your tools occasionally, when you have time to look at them and try out some new things without critical client deadlines. Is your current tool stack working? Or does something need to change?
    There's no one tool that's going to solve all the problems in your business. There's no silver bullet.

  • 6. Coaching Mistakes To Avoid
    Jan 11 2022

    How many coaches have you hired to help you in your business? Coaching is HUGE right now and I've hired a few coaches myself, but I've noticed some disturbing trends in coaching.

    There's a major focus in marketing, growing, and scaling - which is an important part of running a business - but many business coaches are really just marketing coaches. They don't do much when it comes to actually running your business.

    As service providers, especially when you're only working with a couple of clients at a time, marketing to more clients isn't going to help you. If you're charging a premium rate for an outstanding service, you should be spending your time providing that amazing service to your clients rather than worrying about marketing so much. The referrals from customer experiences will do much of the marketing for you.

    An ideal coach for a service provider is someone with real world experience who understands your particular service-based needs and what is going on in the current climate.
