Behind The Scenes Chapters & Timestamps Transcript 

// IN THE TRENCHES 

> "If it needs you every morning, it's not a business. It's a job. A stressful one." 

Katie runs 7-figure operations. She breaks down a client case stuck at $20K to $600K in 60 days just by fixing onboarding, and how she documents SOPs without losing a day. No theory. 

// WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS BEHIND THE SCENES

One of her clients: $20K to $600K in 60 days by fixing the first 3 days. Not more sales. Better onboarding.

#### How to stop being the bottleneck

Without spending a day writing SOPs. She records them while she works. 

03 

#### Why your agency is worth nothing if it needs you

And what makes it sellable. For real. 

04 

#### Stop selling hours

How to price the infrastructure, not your time. So it sells, and delivers without you.
