Today, I’m making you an offer. So read carefully :)

Think reaching a million-dollar runway in a year is impossible? Think again. With the right strategy and mindset, it’s possible. It starts with a shift to a solution-focused approach.
‍
Most businesses fail aiming for a million-dollar mark. They chase short-term wins and hope for a lucky break. This approach fails (and deep down you know it).
‍
Commit to a long-term plan, and everything changes. Your mindset shifts, and short-term results appear. I’ve seen this many times with my clients. Long-term focus is the key to success. It separates winners from losers. A long-term view leads to smart decisions. Short-term thinking leads to bad choices.
‍
Here’s the truth: you’re stuck because you’re thinking short-term. That next 6-week program won’t save you. That next pitch won’t transform your business.

Symptoms of short-term thinking:

• 

  Attracting Low-Budget, Short-Term Clients: These clients want quick fixes. This traps you in small, unprofitable projects.
  

• 

  Misaligned Client Vision: Without a long-term vision, it’s tough to attract clients who see long-term value.
  

• 

  Lack of a Clear Business Model: A complex business model slows you down. It leaves no room for growth.
  

• 

  Reactive: Always responding to immediate needs means you’re always catching up. You need to drive your business forward with a plan.
  

‍The Irony: Long-term commitment brings short-term gains‍

A long-term strategy might seem daunting. But here’s the kicker: it’s the key to short-term gains too. The secret? Building strong systems.
‍
Here’s how:

Step 1: Pick a vision to guide any and all of your decisions

Your vision is your guiding star. It directs every decision and keeps you focused.
‍
Example: A small branding studio in Portugal struggled with revenue and an overworked team. We set a clear vision: to be the top provider of eco-friendly tech solutions. This vision attracted the right clients and doubled their revenue in six months.

Step 2: Build simple, repeatable systems (nothing complex)

A simple, scalable business model is critical. Systems keep your operations smooth and consistent.

Example: A massive VFX studio in India was stuck with low-budget, short-term clients. We simplified their business model. They focused on high-ticket custom orders and exclusive workshops. This allowed the studio to scale and triple their revenue in eight months.

Step 3: Pick a mentor who knows

Most people who come to me are burned by coaches. They followed mentors who talked a lot, where book-smart, but never implemented anything.

Example: I worked with a motion studio in the Netherlands. They offered explainer videos because a “business expert” told them to. They ended up with super low-budget clients. Think USD 3,000 a video. After mentoring, they shifted to helping clients launch their crypto tokens with compelling videos and campaigns. This secured high-ticket, long-term contracts and got the company a stunning 8-figure company evaluation after only 2 years. The “business expert” didn’t see this because he wasn’t focused on long-term success.
