question for your consulting: have you offered before a "one off" option? I wonder if that can be a good way to increase testimonials. Like offer a free intro call (i've seen Wystan do this https://x.com/WystanTBS). i wonder if that's how Vassalllo got his start too, doing smaller things before getting enough clients and doing the lifetime thing!

best of luck!!

this is such an important question, I think about that a lot. step 1 is recognizing that a lot is out of our control. step 2 is...figuring out when that is the case!!

brilliant insight!! this is a pattern i think that happens to us a lot

> “Sell what they are looking for. Deliver what they need.”

this, and your explanation of it, totally blew my mind!!
