Imagine turning on your laptop on a Monday morning to find new client enquiries waiting — and knowing exactly what to do to win the right ones at the right price.

That’s the kind of business we’ve been talking about all week during the Clients on Demand: HR Edition event — and in this episode, I’m going to help you choose the path that will take you there.

Now if you’ve been at the event, you’ve already heard me talk about the Success Squad and the Fastlane Formula.

But if you haven’t, this episode will give you the clear, no-nonsense overview you need to make the right choice.

Either way, this is about making a decision — because there’s something far riskier than investing in yourself… and that’s going back to what you were doing before.

Without a real plan, you’ll still be:

  • Guessing where the next client will come from
  • Dropping your fees to win work
  • Saying yes to clients you’d rather avoid
  • Watching months slip by without real progress

That’s not freedom. That’s survival.

So in this episode, I’ll walk you through both options so you can see exactly how both give you:

  • A predictable way to win premium clients
  • A business you actually enjoy running
  • The confidence to turn down the wrong work without panicking

Important:

  • There are only 20 spaces in the Success Squad and 10 in the Fastlane Formula.
  • Join the Success Squad by Friday at 10pm to get your bonus 30-minute onboarding call with me.
  • Doors close to everyone at 10pm on Friday 22nd — and once they shut, that’s it until the next intake.

So you can wait another six months, keep guessing, keep spinning… or you can make this the moment everything changes.
