Short excerpt from a YouTube video (creator: Peter Vander Wall) advising business owners that consistent year-round work on systems, positioning, and a sales pipeline drives growth. The speaker warns against only doing marketing/sales during slow periods (e.g., after tax season), argues entrepreneurs should exit hands-on service delivery early, and recommends not preparing tax returns personally once business revenue reaches about $10,000/month.

Chapters

If you only work on your business when things slow down, it's never going to grow. See, a lot of you put off marketing and sales till after tax season, right? During tax season, you're just trying to hunker down and you're just trying to survive. We're actually shooting yourself in the foot by doing that. Because the businesses that grow consistently are working on their systems, their positioning and their sales pipeline year round. This is why getting out of service delivery early on is so crucial. Because you need to be an entrepreneur first and foremost, not an accountant. And so, barring some crazy life circumstance, you shouldn't be preparing tax returns ever again after like ten grand a month.
