Why Saying Yes Is Killing Your Consulting Income (The Six-Figure Refusal Rule)   If you’re busy, booked out, and still stuck below six figures, the problem isn’t your skillset — it’s what you’re agreeing to. In this episode, we break down why high-earning consultants don’t scale by doing more… they scale by refusing better.   Most consultants believe growth comes from being more available, more responsive, and more helpful. That belief is quietly capping their income. In this episode, we unpack a counter-intuitive truth: six-figure consulting isn’t built on delivery — it’s built on strategic refusal.
