How rebuilding The Embodied Solopreneur grew my average client spend by 311%. Lifetime Value (LTV) = the average spend per client across the time they work with you. Most people focus on constantly signing new clients. And yes, bringing new people into your world matters. But here’s the trap: If you only focus on the front end, you’re always under pressure to replace clients as soon as they leave. That’s why LTV is so important. When clients stay longer and re-engage, each one can be worth 2x, 3x, even 4x more to your business. For me, the shift came when I relaunched my community as The Embodied Solopreneur. Part of the rebuild was getting crystal clear on the tiers of access, what they included, and who each one was for. Take one client: In 2023, I worked with him on addiction recovery.

This is a brand historically associated with British elegance, restrained power, heritage, and a very specific idea of class. The campaign made it clear that version was over. What fascinates me isn’t the aesthetic or whether I like it (for what it’s...
I wanted to share a brief update, mostly for context. Over the last couple of months I’ve been noticeably quieter online. That hasn’t been accidental. I’ve been tightening up my commercial setup. I’ve been simplifying where my time goes. And I’ve been getting very clear on what I’m actually building and who I’m building it for. This has been the least active I’ve been on social media in years. Yet at the same time, it’s been a record month financially. That contrast has been useful. It...
For the last few years, my business has been tied to LinkedIn. Every piece of content, every conversation and every client was all organic. And it worked... It built the business from the ground up. But a creeping feeling started to set in... When your entire business depends on a single platform and a single type of content, you’re not an owner. You’re a tenant building your house on someone else’s land and you’re always at the mercy of... The algorithm The silly trends The platform’s...
