Profit With Purpose

This week on TBOA, Rochelle and I talk about finding the right balance between profit and purpose in your business.

Talking Points

Why you need to answer the question, “How much profit is enough for you?”

How to work your way up the difficulty scale to find clients with bigger, more expensive problems so that you can work less.

The myth behind doing hard work—and how to work less without guilt.

Making an impact with your ideal audience that leaves a memorable footprint (and builds a sustainable business).
