Description

If you've ever felt like you're working harder than ever but your income still isn't moving, you're not alone. Many established service providers hit a frustrating revenue ceiling, not because they're lazy or disorganised, but because their business has structural "holes" that hustle alone can't fix.

In this episode of The Clear Business Growth Show, I share:

  • The biggest mistake service providers make when trying to grow (and why it keeps you stuck).

  • A real client story of how restructuring her pricing and offers gave her back one full day a week, while increasing her income.

  • The "bucket with holes" analogy that will completely shift how you think about growth.

  • A simple action step you can take right now to start plugging the leaks and creating more breathing room in your business.

You'll walk away knowing that your growth doesn't have to come from longer hours, late nights, or discounting your services. Instead, it comes from putting clear structure around your offers, pricing, and marketing rhythm so you can finally earn more while working less.

Free Resource: If today's episode hit home, grab your free copy of my Confident Pricing Guide. Inside, you'll learn the five-step method I use with private clients to repackage, reprice, and reposition their offers — so they can consistently attract higher-paying, great-fit clients without feeling salesy.
