What if I told you that adding six figures to your Q1 revenue isn’t about working harder—it’s about working smarter? Too many service-based CEOs grind their way through endless tasks, only to stay stuck at the same revenue ceiling.
Here’s the truth: scaling your business comes down to three simple strategies that drive real growth without burning you out. Let’s break them down:
1️⃣ Focus on High-Revenue Tasks
Most CEOs spend 60% of their time on tasks that don’t directly drive revenue. It’s time to change that.
- What to Do: Delegate or automate low-value activities like admin work or repetitive processes.
- Why It Works: Every hour you reclaim is an hour you can use to close high-ticket deals, refine your offers, or serve clients at a higher level.
Pro Tip: Start by identifying your “£10 tasks” vs. “£1,000 tasks.” If it doesn’t grow your bottom line, it’s time to let it go.
Example: One of my clients delegated her daily email triage to an assistant, saving 8 hours a week. Those hours went straight into building a high-ticket group coaching program, which closed £50K in one launch.
2️⃣ Build Scalable Systems
Growth without systems = chaos. Scalable systems free up your time and empower your team to perform like a well-oiled machine.
- What to Do: Create SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for onboarding clients, managing projects, and handling invoices.
- Why It Works: Systems reduce bottlenecks, improve efficiency, and make it easier to deliver consistent results—even when you’re not involved.
Pro Tip: Focus on one core system at a time. Start with the biggest bottleneck, and work your way through your operations.
Example: A client streamlined her client onboarding system by creating automated workflows in Dubsado. She cut onboarding time by 50%, allowing her to sign more clients while reducing her workload.
3️⃣ Prioritise the RIGHT Offers
The key to scaling quickly is offering the right services to the right audience at the right price.
- What to Do: Refine your signature offers, increase your pricing if necessary, and double down on marketing to your ideal clients.
- Why It Works: High-value offers allow you to serve fewer clients while making a bigger impact—and generating more revenue.
Pro Tip: Ask yourself, “Is this offer easy to deliver, scalable, and profitable?” If not, it’s time for a revamp.
Example: A CEO revamped her 1:1 coaching model into a group program with tiered pricing, reducing her hours by half.
The Cost of Inaction
Sometimes, the biggest wake-up call isn’t what you can gain—it’s what you’re losing by staying stuck.
- What to Do: Ask yourself: How much time and money are you wasting on inefficiencies and low-value tasks?
- Why It Works: Without streamlined systems, the average CEO loses at least 10 hours weekly and misses out on thousands of potential revenue.
Here’s the Math:
10 hours x 52 weeks = 520 hours a year. Even at £100/hour, that’s £52,000 lost annually. Imagine reinvesting that into revenue-driving activities instead.
Common Scaling Mistakes
Scaling isn’t always intuitive, and most CEOs make costly mistakes that slow them down. Here are three of the most common:
- Wearing All the Hats: Trying to do everything yourself instead of building systems and delegating tasks.
- Saying Yes to Everything: Taking on projects or clients that don’t align with your growth goals.
- Skipping the Strategy: Scaling without a clear roadmap leads to wasted time and energy.
