What is success? What is success for an entrepreneur?Is is money? Is it having an impact? Or...is it having the quality of life you want? For many entrepreneurs, it's all the above.We want it all.But there's a chance you are sacrificing your most precious years without actually living your life... That's what this episode is about. Also check outwww.thesimplecompany.com/mastermind This is where we do what I talk about in the episode. Cheers, Tobias

In this episode I share what I would do to help you grow your business exponentially in 2024.I first share the process, then I go through the 10 Paths To Exponential Growth. The great thing about these paths is that they compound.

Convert More Leads Into Sales6. Make More Money Per Transaction7. Make More Money Per Customer (CLV)8. Increase Margins9. Reduce Operating Costs10.

In this episode, I share three common problems that owners of agencies and consultancies make, and how to overcome them.Having worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs in the consulting and agency space, and having recently revied more than 2000 websites, I know these are problems that the large majority deal with.I hope some of these ideas set you on a path of making better strategic choices for 2024.If you want help with these things, please reach out to me at tobias@thesimplecompany.com 

In this episode, I share one of my favorite topics (obsessions), which is to figure out Why customers should choose a specific brand and offering and how that brand/offering can become so relevant and valuable that it leads to "onlyness" (being seen as the only viable choice). To see the model I reference, check this article I wrote on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7118670981656645632/  

In this episode, I share three levers that you can pull to achieve an exit of more than $10 million dollars, even if your earnings are under $1 million. In fact, these levers work at any level, but in this episode, I show how a company doing $500k in earnings (EBITDA or SDE) could achieve an exit at a 20x multiple in as little as 2-3 years.I'm talking about:ValuationxGrowthxArbitrageIf you want help with planning an exit, selling your company, or if you want to be part of a roll-up, email me at tobias[at]thesimplecompany.com

If you want to scale your agency or consultancy, you have to productize.Trying to satisfy the ever-changing needs and wants of clients is a good idea, but it is not usually a profitable, sustainable, and scalable business model.Why?Because you're likely shifting your "assembly line" all the time.You need to standardize and systematize.I am opening my productization program Beta™  for new clients over the next couple of weeks.You'll build a productized service offering in 30 days - then you'll have a business asset you can sell forever.www.hesimplecompany.com/betaAnd watch the video to learn more about The Simple Company® philosophy.You'll never look back.

Straight out of my playbook for game-changing transformation, here are five shifts that most business owners need to make to see the results they want. Too often, I see entrepreneurs wanting change, but thinking too small, too linear.

Poor people invest TIME to get more MONEY. To get help from us, visit www.thesimplecompany.com and book a meeting

If you're not thinking about what your company is worth, and what it could sell for, you're leaving your future vulnerable. When you think of optimizing your business's worth, you end up making better choices, such as choosing a better business model, systematizing, building SOP's, etc. We help maxed-out operators become true business owners so they can have the wealth and freedom they want. www.thesimplecompany.com

More than 95% of entrepreneurs don't reach their goals and dreams. The reason is simple.In this episode I share how to solve the most pressing problems you might be experiencing:1. Everything in your business rests on you.2. You struggle with making your business predictably profitable.3. You have not been able to grow "beyond yourself". If you identify with any of these problems, and the pains that come with them...listen to this podcast. We have created an assessment you can take, and we'll help you break down your results and give you a simple strategy for more than doubling your results. We'll do an assessment coupled with a strategy call for business owners who are already doing a minimum of $500k per year. Take the assessment and book herewww.thesimplecompany.com/assessment

Unless you have the money, impact, and freedom you want, you probably don't have these three systems dialed in. And to be frank, unless you get them implemented, you'll never have those goals. In this episode, I share the main reasons you might be maxed out, feeling like everything rests on you, and how to fix it. We're taking on a small number of clients who want to get these three systems implemented and to fix their profitability and growth issues. If you're interested, email us at hello@thesimplecompany.com

In this episode, which I recorded as a video training, I share the strategy I call The Million Dollar Strategy. It's a strategy I discovered many years ago, and I implemented it a few times in my own businesses, as well as with countless clients with great results. It's the fastest, simplest way I know to hit a million in sales, or ten million if you want...

The question is by how much? Strategy is leverage.I'll be taking on a few 1:1 clients in the coming weeks, if you are interested, email me at:tobias@thesimplecompany.com

For 15 years of my life, I spent my time building and leading my brand consultancy, and a few other agencies I either founded or owned. In this episode, I talk about what I would have done differently...and how I would have made LEVERAGE the main goal. It took me the first seven years to realize just how inefficient the consulting/agency model actually is. I guess that’s why most people in the consulting and agency industries are driven by the passion to create and serve more than building empires and making bucketloads of money. What do you think? Here’s something I learned:You will never make a lot of money without leverage.You will never have a lot of impact without leverage. Leverage means you have a multiplier between the inputs and outputs of what you do. Read more at www.tobias.blog/p/build-once-sell-forever

You might not like the word "selling", and you would not be alone if that is true.But what if I told you there is a better way, and that Sigmund Freud convinced me to believe so :) In this episode, I talk about a couple of powerful frameworks for getting deep insights about your potential customers.I talk about The Pleasure Principles, and how to combine it with The Structure Of Belief, for sales (influence) success. Hope you enjoy it.

Simplicity is leverage. In this episode, I talk about how to grow by leveraging simplicity.I hope you enjoy it. If you want to attend the event I mention, head over to www.thesimplecompany.com/simplifytogrow

In today's episode, I share some timeless wisdom that I learned from some of the great masters of the past (including James Allen). Also sometimes called "The Iron Laws Of The Universe", I am talking about cause and effect. But not only cause and effect in the physical world, but of the causes you set in motion internally, that will later manifest externally.This is not a new idea, nor is it mine. But I think we need to be reminded of it, and to take inventory of what causes we are setting in motion every day (consciously or subconsciously).Hope you enjoy it!www.tobias.blogwww.thefutureacademy.com 

What makes people buy your offer?What makes them move forward despite their fears, doubt, cost, or other perceived pain?And what can you do to get more people to take action, so you can serve them and give them results?In this episode, I share the concept of the No-Brainer Offer.And more than that, I make you a No-Brainer Offer :)To take me up on it, email me at tobias[@]thefutureacademy.com You can also read about this on my blog (I included a 30 min video there).www.tobias.blog/the-no-brainer-offer Hope you enjoy it!

Most business owners lack leverage in their business, meaning that there is a non-existent (or low) multiplier between inputs and outputs. When you sell 30 hours of work, and you have to work for 30 hours, your time multiplier is 1x. Not good. But if you sell a project at $15k and you work 30 hours, you have leverage. Maybe you're amazingly efficient. Or maybe you are a true alchemist, turning your ideas into gold....In fact....that's what business is about. In this episode, I talk about how simplicity creates leverage, like nothing else.Hope you enjoy it. If you want help with this in your business, email me at tobias [at] thefutureacademy.com

This is a bit of a special episode, as I share some details about a brand new venture we're building.In other words, this is for you if you want to grow into a world-class brand consultant and make a great living in this industry.We're launching a global brand consulting company, and we're looking for great people to be part of it, as entrepreneurs.Listen in and learn more.You can read more at www.tobias.blog

I created this episode in honor of your entrepreneurial journey.You have a dream. You went for it.The question is, how is it going?Are you making your dream real?Is it happening? Are you on track?James Allen said "The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart, this, you will build your life by. This, you will become".I talk about what this means for us entrepreneurs, and what we can do to live according to this piece of wisdom.At the end of the podcast episode, I share some updates about Original Minds™ - our new program and mastermind aimed at entrepreneurs who want to make their dreams real.If you're interested in Original Minds™ - email me at tobias[at]thefutureacademy.com

What does a brand consultant do?Why is it such a great profession?And what does it take to succeed in brand consulting?What is the real purpose of brand consulting? And why do most brand consultants play too shallow?In this episode, I answer these questions.On September 19th, we're kicking off the last Certified Brand Consultant™ cohort of the year.If you are curious...and interested...make sure you book a discovery call with us NOW.We have only 20 spots, and 25+ people on the waiting list. go.thefutureacademy.com/application Read more and watch videos on my approach, how we're changing the program, etc.https://www.tobias.blog/p/certified-brand-consultant-is-back

In this episode I talk about the seven most common reasons agency owners (and other professional service firms) struggle to become predictably profitable, and why they often fail to grow.I have sinned myself...I was guilty of doing ALL the mistakes I share as I started my own brand consultancy in 2008.Nowadays, I consult and coach owners and see them making the same mistakes.Just to be clear, you can be successful despite being a sinner (I say that jokingly), but you will make it more difficult than it has to be...I wrote about this on my blog at:www.tobias.blogMake sure you sign up if you want more content like thisAnd if you need help with these things in your company, we have a program that addresses ALL of the problems above.It's called Growth Lab™, and if you want to discuss it with us, go to go.thefutureacademy.com/application and book a call. 

In this episode, I share a framing exercise that I use on myself every now and then.It's extremely simple, and it works wonders.I am dedicated to getting you to overcome your limitations and become all you can become, for your benefit, and for the benefit of the world. I imagine a world where more people do what they are supposed to...ridding themselves of the self-imposed bs stories they tell themselves (we all do!).Psst. I just launched a new private blog where I host these podcast episodes, and share articles, videos...etc. I get more personal than on The Future Academy® feeds, so if you like this content, please stop by and check it out! www.tobias.blog  

One of the most ignored concepts in business in my experience is positioning. I mean, people know of positioning, but they don't practice it well. Why? For one, it's scary, because it goes against common sense in many ways.In this episode, I talk about a principle from my upcoming book/booklet (let's see what it becomes).I call this principle Carve Out Your Space And Own It.It's about the importance of discovering where you should space, and how to show up and lead within that space.Please don't ignore it ;)If you like help with positioning your brand and offering, reach out to us at hello@thefutureacademy.com 

I'd be the first to admit my headline sounds a bit cocky and that I might have more to learn from you than you have to learn from me. However, I decided to challenge myself with a question. If my life depended on it, if someone held a gun to my head and told me I must make your business thrive, what would I do? I came up with six non-negotiable principles I have come to believe are decisive for your growth and success. If you have been reading or watching my content before, you might know that I am passionate about helping entrepreneurs turn their potential into greatness. I believe strongly in entrepreneurship as a force for positive change in the world. I wish more people would turn their talents into thriving businesses and move the world forward. So why do so few create something extraordinary? Why do so few even break even?Over my 20+ year career, I have had the privilege to work with thousands of people, and I have come to learn what the biggest obstacles to growth and prosperity are. So I asked myself, what are the most important ways in which I could help ANY entrepreneur and business succeed? Could I? In a nutshell, here is what I would do to ensure that you would achieve great success. To be clear, we would not work on all things at once, but these principles would work as the checklist to ensure you reach your dreams.

What does it take to achieve extraordinary levels of success as an entrepreneur and in life?Many things, for sure...but as I've been exploring this topic for the last 20+ years of my life, and after reading several hundreds books on the subject, I have learned that there are three areas that extraordinary achievers keep expanding. In this episode, I share what they are, and what you can do to to achieve extraordinary levels of success. If you'd like help with these, reach out to me at hello@thefutureacademy.com

In this episode, which I shot in a garden in the south of Portugal (also available on my YouTube channel)  I share my creative process. It's a process I developed through trial and error over the years, and I have come to learn that this process never fails me. I mean, coming up with great ideas is not easy. But I find that by having a framework for feeding your mind, then cross-pollinating insights and ideas will lead to an infinite amount of ideas, some of which are crap, and some of which are original and useful. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think! Tobias

If you're in the professional services space (agency owner, consultant, coach, etc.) one of the SMARTEST things you can do is to PRODUCTIZE your service(s). When you think of your service as a product, you will start to STANDARDIZE it, so that you can deliver a specific outcome repeatedly over time. The main benefits are: -You can get higher margins -Your business becomes more predictable -You can grow and scale your business and...you can remove yourself as the BOTTLENECK of your business. Interested? Join Beta™ - our brand new program for owners of professional services firms who want to productize their services. thefutureacademy.com/meeting In 30 days, you'll launch and work with paying clients. 100% ROI Guarantee.  

Have you ever listened to someone more experienced than you as they told you something important....yet you chose to ignore it?I know I have.During the first seven years running my brand consultancy, I ignored not only what I learned from industry leaders and gurus, I ignored my own advice...the advice I gave my clients as a strategist...I feel like such an idiot...but I more or less wasted seven years building my agency the wrong way...I am talking about the same way practically everyone builds and operates their agency, consulting firm...or any professional service firm.Hope you enjoy the episode.

Why do we measure business success based on revenues, when profits are the only thing that really matter. I mean, sure, size does matter (sometimes), but aren't you more interested in having a profitable business than a big one? In this episode, I share some principles for how to make your agency or consultancy profitable, how to avoid some common traps (I've been there....), and three "must" ideas you will have to implement to make your business profitable (and scalable).Hope you enjoy the episode.p.s. contact me at tobias [at] thefutureacademy.com if you'd like to share ideas or connect with me.We're working closely with agencies on the stuff I talk about in this episode. 

We all know BRANDS matter, but do you know how you can translate your brand-building investments and activities into MONEY?This could blow your mind!Learn a simple, powerful formula that connects to your brand.In addition to explaining how "brand" connects to revenue, and profit, I also share a couple of opportunities.1. I work with a small number of selected clients to implement strategies around brand- and offering development, client acquisition, and operations (based on my work around what I call The Simple Company). 2. I am launching a brand new membership service, which works la lot like a mastermind. It's for ambitious, visionary entrepreneurs who want to build 7 and 8 figure businesses (you don't have top be there yet), and who want to live a passionate life and have it all...experiences, relationships, growth, lifestyle...If you're interested, please email me at hello@thefutureacademy.com and I'll connect you with my team.     

Brand consulting needs a serious upgrade.Let's be real.What used to work in "brand-building" does not work as well today.And the majority of the industry fails to make a decent living.I've been in this space for almost 15 years, and I've seen enough to say that it's time we stop doing it the old way...Brand strategy followed by "branding", a.k.a brand communications (visuals, messaging etc.) is simply not enough in a 2022 environment.Let's replace RE-BRANDING (as we know it) with RE-INVENTION.As brand consultants, we must hold ourself to a higher standard. We can bring more value that lawyers and business consultants at best. We combine strategy with creativity, which is how we can create magic for our clients.We're in the business of future creation, connecting companies and customers with a greater future.In this eposiode, I share what a better model looks like. It's a model I have practiced throughout my career, and it deliver because it's about driving innovation and business transformation through the lens of "brand".Check out the video in the comments below, and if you like it, apply to be one of the 20 people who joins me for Certified Brand Consultant™ - 10 weeks of training and coaching.I am only opening this program 1-2 times per year, so if you want in, just DM me and my team will set up a call to discuss it.Btw, if you're not into brand consulting but would me and my team to apply this model and thinking to your brand and business, please DM me too...we work with growth-minded companies to drive growth and profitability through their brands.

Positioning is one of the most important ideas in business. More than your brand strategy, your position is the heart of your business strategy. But how do you go about discovering your positioning?In this episode I share the framework I created about 10 years ago and used with hundreds of clients.It's as simple as it can be, and I am confident that it will help you.Dig out a pen and paper, and follow this simple exercise.if you want the tool sent to you, please email us at hello(at)thefutureacademy.com and we will send the framework.Hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode, I share the one thing any business needs to become unstoppable.When you ask people what they want the most, they don't usually mention this thing....but all entrepreneurs secretly crave it.I am talking about PREDICTABILITY.When your business is predictable, you don't have to live in a reactive, short-term mode.You can create, innovate and make strategic, long-term decisions that serve your mission and your ultimate dream.In this episode, I share what it takes.To check out more, check out this free training where I do deeper into this: www.thefutureacademy.com/simplecompany

This is THE most important era for brands. This is also the best time ever to become a brand consultant. In this episode, I talk about how brands create value and differentiate, and how mere product or service benefits won't suffice anymore. I explain my model for value creation and differentiation. You can use it to frame questions and ensure you are creating value on multiple levels (stacking value). If you are interested in learning more about brand consulting, go to :www.thefutureacademy.com/certifiedbrandconsultant

Here's a GREAT insight and principle for you if you want to avoid feeling fear while you perform (on stage, video, podcast, or wherever). It's not about strategy, it's not about tactics....it's about something a lot BIGGER than that. Listen in to see what I mean, and I am sure you will agree.

Let's get real about the purpose of entrepreneurship. It's not to hustle and suffer, it's not even to build a successful business. In this short episode, I share what I think you will agree is the purpose of it all... If you want to talk about how to achieve entrepreneurial freedom, book a free consultation at:www.thefutureacademy.com/book Free training:www.thefutureacademy.com/training

The other day I had the privilege to sit down with Scott Goodson, founder and CEO of StrawberryFrog and talk about how to ACTIVATE BRAND PURPOSE.For the last 25+ years, Scott has worked with brands such as Google, P&G, Emirates Airlines, Walmart, Coca-Cola, Mercedes, and Truist.Beyond having a purpose and talking about it...some brands and companies are truly aligning their talk with their action.Scott just wrote a great new book on the subject...and it's called Activate Brand Purpose.Check out his book at:https://www.activatebrandpurpose.com/

Why do about 95% of entrepreneurs fail? Why do only 20% ever make money, and why do the majority lose money as entrepreneurs?In this episode, I will expose the truth...and I think you might feel it in your gut...because most people suffer from this thing called entrepreneurship in one way or the other. Check the full training:www.thefutureacademy.com/simpleco Get help with this right now:www.thefutureacademy.com/book Check out more:www.thefutureacademy.com/growthlab

This recording is the first of a series I call CHANGEMAKERS - Stories Of Creative Entrepreneurship.We  talk about mindset, commitment to growth, common mistakes, and how to avoid them...and lots more.If you're curious to learn more, join our free Facebook group at www.facebook.com/groups/tfacommunity

Lately, I've had many discussions where it turned out that LACK OF ALIGNMENT was the problem.When we feel aligned with who we are and the future we want to create, we tend to feel motivated, inspired, confident, and excited about our lives.And the opposite is also true. When we feel out of alignment, well, our lives don't feel all that exciting. We get stuck; we get anxious, bored, we feel miserable, even depressed.Alignment, it turns out, is a BIG part of what makes us happy and fulfilled, or miserable. Talk to a coach and get in alignment (free of charge)www.thefutureacademy.com/book

In this episode, I talk about indisputably the most important ingredient behind all successful people - self-education. Anyone who believes that traditional education methods will be enough to prepare you for your whole career is nuts. The only way to stay relevant, the only way to stay ahead is to commit yourself to non-stop learning. In this episode, I discuss the absurd statement that I often hear, which is "Why should I pay for self-education when all information is free?". This belief is what holds so many people back. Investing in yourself is absolutely vital. For example, an online course is not something that TAKES time and COSTS money, but rather something you should think of as SAVING you time and MAKING you money.
