Episode 16: The Boutique: Tomorrow is More Important than Today.
What have you done for me lately? Buyers of your boutique are purchasing who you are becoming. They are not buying who you have been. Yesterday is worthless to them. They are looking forward. And need to be excited about your potential to improve.

Episode 15: The Boutique: How to Work Less and Make More!
Boutique firms often grow but do not scale. Growth means more projects delivered with the same type of staff. If nothing changes, then the growth rate is proportional to the number of partner/owners required. This means the profit pool increases but it must be shared with more partner/owners. More growth means the need for more partner/owners. This results in a bigger boutique but no increase in income or wealth for the founders. Improved leverage means improved incomes and wealth for the founders.
