The Million Dollar Consultant with Alan Weiss & Tony Taylor
04/14/25 • 41 min
This one right here... is special.
I sat down with one of the biggest influences on my journey — Alan Weiss, the author of Million Dollar Consulting. This is the guy who literally wrote the book on how to build a business around your expertise. I read this book 4 times.
If you're a coach, consultant, speaker or just someone trying to turn what you know into impact , you need to hear this.
We talked about everything from the truth behind Napoleon Hill to why you don’t need an office, a big team, or even a website to become a go-to authority.
Alan drops game on what it really takes to become a Million Dollar Consultant.
We get into:
- Why overhead is the enemy of freedom
- How to raise your fees without flinching
- The real reason most experts stay invisible
- How to position your value without overexplaining
- What “scope seep” is — and how it’s costing you
This conversation was an honor for me. If you’ve ever felt like you’re great at what you do but still not getting the recognition or income you deserve, this one’s for you.
If it resonates, I’d be super grateful if you shared it with a friend or dropped a rating. That’s what helps the show grow.
