I'd be the first to admit my headline sounds a bit cocky and that I might have more to learn from you than you have to learn from me.

However, I decided to challenge myself with a question. If my life depended on it, if someone held a gun to my head and told me I must make your business thrive, what would I do?

I came up with six non-negotiable principles I have come to believe are decisive for your growth and success.

If you have been reading or watching my content before, you might know that I am passionate about helping entrepreneurs turn their potential into greatness. I believe strongly in entrepreneurship as a force for positive change in the world. I wish more people would turn their talents into thriving businesses and move the world forward.

So why do so few create something extraordinary? Why do so few even break even?

Over my 20+ year career, I have had the privilege to work with thousands of people, and I have come to learn what the biggest obstacles to growth and prosperity are.

So I asked myself, what are the most important ways in which I could help ANY entrepreneur and business succeed? Could I?

In a nutshell, here is what I would do to ensure that you would achieve great success. To be clear, we would not work on all things at once, but these principles would work as the checklist to ensure you reach your dreams.

Get Ruthless About The Clients You Serve 6:23

לפני 15 ימים6:23

6:23

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.

Why No One Will Buy Your Professional Service Business 20:01

לפני 12 weeks20:01

20:01

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.

Why Your Service Firm Is No Longer Growing (And What To Do) 17:42

לפני 16 weeks17:42

17:42

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?

How To Simplify To Scale Your Business 18:05

לפני 26 weeks18:05

18:05

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.
