In this episode, Ashley breaks down why a founder with half a million in revenue might actually be taking home twice as much as a founder with double that amount, and it all comes down to margins. You'll learn how discounting and out-of-scope custom packages quietly erode profitability, turning what looks like a big win into an operational disaster. Kenan and Ashley also explore the concept of "profit by service," explaining how to job cost and allocate direct costs so you know exactly which clients are draining you and which ones are driving real scale.

If you’re a founder tired of the "sell more just to keep the doors open" cycle, this episode provides the blueprint to stop doing $25/hour bookkeeping and start making $500/hour strategic decisions.
