Show Notes

One of the biggest roadblocks for the businesses we work with is that they don't often understand WHY their clients choose to work with them.

They have an inkling, but they really aren't sure.

It's such an issue that it's actually a big part of our first week with a client. Get it right, and selling becomes infinitely easier.

Plus, you always uncover some new, unserved, opportunity in the process...

That's exactly what Vinnie Fisher did with his firm, Fully Accountable. In a lot of ways, Vinnie's story is the "dream" of many service businesses...to pivot into a product business.

I interview Vinnie on this week's Unstoppable CEO podcast. Listen in and you'll discover...

  • The importance of creating margin...space to get clarity every day.
  • How to make the transition from being overscheduled to calm.
  • Why you should guard your time, and more importantly, HOW to do it (even in a client business).
  • How Vinnie tapped into a big, painful problem his service-business clients had and turned it into his current product offering. Listening to his thinking process will help you ask the right questions of your clients and prospects.
  • How he developed a solution to support the three roles that a small business owner, bookkeeper, or CFO has to do to run the "back office."

This is a fast-paced interview that is filled with GOLD.

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”
― Calvin Coolidge, 30th President of the United States
