I have been following you for awhile (maybe years)... and I've always been on board with this being the direction that I wanted to take my accounting services but I've never really wrapped my head around how I could do it. This continuum may be the AHA moment that I needed.
Thank you Greg! This is exactly what I’ve been going through this week. I’ve eliminated all other services too and focus only on web development while creating testable SOPs. Any advice on dealing with a shrinking potential market? It feels weird putting your eggs in one basket but the process is so much clearer and less stressful as a two person agency. Thanks for your time and effort.
Do you believe that for some services tou have limitation on where you want to be? I mean some services define narrower biundaries that define how productized you can be.
@@gregoryjhickman In the video you stated that the question to ask is "How productized you want to be?" So I commented to understand more. I believe that it is not always about how productized we want to be but rather the question to ask first, how productized we can be, and then how productized we want to be within the limits we would have unveiled through the first question. My question is Do you believe that not all services can be fully productized?
To me, productized always meant "manufacturing". That's how I see it. It's repeating the same steps to get a desired outcome. Then basically asking yourself, "How involved do I want to be?" and "At what points?"
That def is a good way to look at it but I think it's almost too simplified for the nature of work you get with services looking to productize. some people think that there can be no customizations along the repeatable process (conveyor belt). The box at the end of the belt doesn't always need to look EXACTLY the same to deliver the same result. But that process, should never change. And the levels of customization need to be contained.

Best explanation I’ve seen so far
🙏
Amazing video, thank you. Service is work without a process, I never thought about it like that, brilliant!
🤙🏼
Makes a lot of sense now, thanks for clarifying.
You're welcome

You're welcome. What's your market that is potentially shrinking?
Amazing video!

Can you elaborate?
