The Power of Specializing

On today’s show: how many services do you offer to clients? Some coaches might say you should offer as many services as possible—hiring sub-contractors to complete any work you aren’t an expert at. That’s where today’s guest, Dan, finds himself: sorting through hundreds of Upwork applications to find sub-contractors to grow his business. There’s just one problem: he’s burning out. All the time he spends on hiring is time he doesn’t spend on client work.  And think about this: how can Dan passionately sell a service if he doesn’t know much about it? So, in today’s episode, we take a step back, identify Dan’s strengths, and help develop a plan for scaling up in his area of expertise. That’s the power of specializing. Join us for the full details!
