Funnels: What They Are, Where They Came From, and Why Most Are Built Backward

A funnel is not a website. It’s not a single email. It’s not an overpriced software platform someone tried to sell you in a webinar. It’s the journey someone takes from “Who are you?” → “This is interesting...” → “I need this in my life” → “Take my money.”

How We Are Working With Clients in 2023

Sometimes, being in business since 2015, makes us feel a little prehistoric. Our company has certainly had its fair share of evolutions and pivots as not only we have grown, but our clients as well. We’ve had the privilege of working with folks from across the globe whether they tune in to our top-charting podcast, get sucked into our rabbit hole with our Trello for Business course, join our growing community of creatives, work with us in an intimate group setting or hang out with us 1:1 to tackle the big stuff. We thought it was time for us to update you on our suite of offerings and give you insight on how you can make magic happen with us.

Maximizing Your Potential: Understand the Relationship Between Capacity and Business Goals

One of the largest issues we see in the service industry, specifically related to CEOs and their time, is that they aren’t aware of what their capacity is or how to best split their time to focus on all of the areas that need their attention. Without the knowledge of what baseline their capacity should cover (i.e. 20% in this area and 10% in another), they also aren’t able to see the clear path forward to reaching their goals. In this post, we’ll be breaking down how your time should be spent as a CEO and how to understand your capacity and its effects on your business goals.

Success in Your Service Based Business: This is the Key Factor You Must Get Right

There is, without a doubt, one thing that can make or break your service-based business: capacity. This is something that has dramatic effects when not practiced carefully or correctly, and the people who are doing it wrong are often those who are overworked and underpaid. By not understanding your capacity in an in-depth and intimate way, you’re constantly sacrificing your mental health and wellbeing, you probably feel like everything is working against you, and you may not be making the progress you’d like to see in your goals.

In this post, we hope to leave you with tons more clarity on how capacity works, its cause-and-effect nature, and how to finally leave the path of burnout.

The Brand New Incubator

We recently wrote about whether or not service providers should pivot your offer or start over (you can read that post over here). We wouldn’t be Boss Project if we didn’t practice what we preached, so we’ve had a change in the works regarding our program, The Incubator. After 18+ months of data from clients going through our program, we saw a need for our own pivot. We’ve always prioritized not adding fluff and making sure that our offers aren’t overwhelming, so we analyzed our data and cut what wasn’t making a difference.

How to Know When You Should Pivot or Start Over in Your Business

There comes a point in every service-based business owner’s journey (especially in this market) where they hit what feels like a huge cement wall. Leads feel harder to come by, prospects feel harder to close, and it seems the only way to get through it is to either demolish the wall or change directions. In this case, that would mean pivoting your offer or scrapping everything you’ve built and starting over.

Master the Art of Connecting With Your Ideal Clients: How to Use Your Website to Speak Their Language

When designing websites, our clients’ ideal clients are always in the back of our minds. With every word we decide on when writing copy and every page of their website we design, we want to ensure that the ideal client will feel tuned in and that much closer to becoming a lead. You want your website to speak your ideal client’s language so that they’ll feel comfortable in their decision reaching out to you and, after a couple of calls, booking with you.

Some may say you could even call this an art (“some” as in us, lol). And in this post, we want to deep dive into what factors of your website have the potential to spark a connection with your ideal clients.

Uncover Hidden Growth Opportunities with our Free Website Audit

Marketing as a service provider can sometimes feel like driving a car blindfolded. Other than surefire networking and referral strategies, you aren’t exactly sure where you should be heading next in order to land more clients.

Many service providers have a website just to have a sort of front for their business, but more often than not it sits collecting dust.
