On the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast, I teach you how to increase your profits and enjoy your business more. In this episode, you’ll learn how my client Kerry, an IT consultant, crossed the million dollar mark.

Kerry has been with me for a journey across the million dollar mark. I know people are always curious - how do you get to $1M in your business? - so I had Kerry break it down for you in this episode.

People associate growth with the number of hours worked, and I do my best to disabuse my clients of that notion. It’s truly not about working more, it’s about working smarter.

When Kerry first came to me, she and her team were exhausted. They were working the absolute maximum numbers they could work. They were fried and they were sad because they were missing out on other things that really matter, like their families. Their success was unsustainable, and they needed to do things a different way.
