I built these systems for my own business first.
I left a Big 3 consulting firm, built my own practice to $250K a year and ran it on 70-hour weeks, chasing leads by hand at 3 a.m.
Then I lost a $22,000-a-month client. Their revenue was up 40%. I'd become the bottleneck. The same week, I missed my son's championship basketball game.
"It's okay, Dad. I know work is more important."
I put my last $18,000 into building the systems I should have built first. In month 5, a lead came in at 2:34 a.m., qualified itself and booked a call while I slept.
These are my own numbers, from my own business. The case-study chapter lays out the rebuild month by month, including the first four months, when it produced almost nothing.
