When you have a Clean Money Only policy, you design a world that allows YOU to earn, serve and flourish at the highest level…

Rather than twist yourself into a pretzel in order to fit into the rules, laws and norms of others. Women have gamely attempted to fit into the norms of “regular” business for decades now and, given the rates of stress, burnout, overwhelm and sustained corporate exodus, I’d say the “I’ll come to you” model is ineffective.

A “jewel business” is a company that fulfills the following 30/30/30 criteria: 30% revenue growth per year (until such time that the founder chooses to accelerate or decelerate growth); 30% profit margin per year; 30% open, unscheduled time for the founder. A jewel business delivers an optimal amount of cash, influence and autonomy to a founder courageous enough to build her business this way.

If you sell a service or knowledge (i.e. most coaches, consultants and service based businesses), know that your service is the apple. If you are only selling your service, you are the farmer selling apples to the grocery store. There is no shame in this, but it’s not how you build wealth. If you really want to build wealth, you need to invest in ADDING VALUE.

Businesses that LAST know how to SURVIVE and THRIVE. And if you sell any kind of coaching, consulting or services, there is ONE THING that will impact your “survive and thrive” factor more than almost anything else: WHO you work with.

Your competition is about to get stiffer, and to leverage the Warren Buffet quote here, it’s time to suit up, lean in and be untouchably excellent, my queen.
