Advice paid upfront has no reason to succeed.
A consultant bills days, whether your margin goes up or not. The day they leave, the report goes in a drawer. I'd rather get paid when your accounts prove it.
Manifesto
I stopped selling days.
I sold consulting and automation. It worked, and that was the problem: I was paid for time, not for results. Here is what I believe now.
Profit starts with costs.
Before hunting for customers, hunt for leaks. A euro of cost removed drops straight to profit; an extra euro of revenue, rarely more than ten cents.
AI is a tool, not an offer.
I use it every day to run 8 companies. I don't sell it. It comes into your business where it makes money, like a spreadsheet or a good supplier.
An owner shouldn't be the bottleneck.
The bottleneck is always at the top of the bottle. If everything goes through you, the company is only worth your hours. My job is to make your company able to run, and therefore worth something.
Owning less can earn you more.
Seventy-five percent of a company that earns twice as much beats one hundred percent of a company that stands still. That is the whole bet of the partnership.
Few companies, properly backed.
One new company every 3 to 6 months, no more. A partner who vanishes after signing is no better than a consultant.
I don't send invoices. I take a stake.
