What It's About

Is it time to grow, or stay focused on what's working?

Notes from Chris

Episode 3041
As your side hustle or business grows, clients often ask for more—more services, more expertise, more of your time. It’s exciting, but it can also lead to overwhelm.

Today’s question comes from Gabriel in Madrid, who’s juggling multiple client requests and trying to decide which new services to offer without spreading himself too thin. Let’s explore how to evaluate these opportunities and create a focused, scalable business model.

"I started off doing video editing for small businesses, and things took off so quickly that my clients began asking me for extra services—like managing their social media, writing promotional copy, and even coaching them on presentation skills. Each new request feels like a golden opportunity, but I’m overwhelmed by how many directions this could go. If I say yes to everything, I might spread myself too thin. But if I say no, I could miss out on bigger revenue streams. How should I figure out which add-ons to offer and which ones to skip?"
