The stories that keep business owners small

play Play pause Pause
"No one would pay that much." "The market's shrinking." Every business runs on a few stories nobody questions. TK and Nigel pull them apart, starting with the day TK's agency put an $8,000 price tag on the thing it used to give away free.

In this episode:
- Nigel's daughter Indie announces she can do a backflip, with zero evidence
- The $8,000 free offer that brought in more clients, and better ones
- Reports that ate 30 to 35% of every consultant's week, and the question nobody asked
- Why most businesses stop growing: they didn't run out of market
- The loneliness of backing yourself when nobody else can see it yet
