Time-for-Money Is Fastest Revenue
- The fastest path to revenue is trading time for money, especially in areas of expertise.
- Digital products aren’t the quickest way; service or client work yields immediate income.
Scale By Delegating Decisions
- Start trading your time for money at increasing hourly rates based on your skills.
- Delegate tasks and decisions gradually to scale your business beyond yourself.
Sell Few High-Value Services
- Selling a $1,000 service to one client is easier than many small $50 or $100 sales.
- Focus on creating a clear offer that is worth $500–$1,000 to clients for faster revenue.
