A speaker recounts advising a high-earning solo professional (earning $750,000/year) who wants to reduce hours while keeping income by shifting client mix toward higher-end clients and reducing lower-paying ones; an example trades multiple $300/month clients for fewer $1,000/month clients to keep revenue similar while reducing client count to ~50–100.

Chapters

I was talking to a guy today. He makes 750 grand a year with zero employees. He works probably like 100 hours a week during tax season, but the rest of the year, it's maybe like 30 hours a week. And so his goal coming to me, he doesn't actually even want to necessarily make more money. He just wants to work less and make the same money. And so we're looking at it like, okay, we've got these higher end clients. We've got these lower end clients. Let's get more of the higher end clients. And just for everybody, we get paying a thousand bucks a month. We cut, you know, three people who are paying 300amonth. And by doing that, we can take them down to probably 50 to 100 clients making the same amount of money.
