“The key to a sustainable business is packaged standardized offerings. So a business will start with a lot of bespoke services. And I think that's really a powerful way (to start) and you can always have a portion of your business be bespoke. But if you truly wanna scale, you're going to need to start standardizing through group programs, courses, or standardized services.”
