When Dan Seager from Stories for Good joined our program, he faced challenges familiar to many entrepreneurs. His confidence as a business owner needed a boost, and he lacked a structured process for growth. Dan had been relying heavily on networking through his corporate connections but struggled to implement a marketing strategy that got results. He also needed the confidence and discipline to ask for the value he knew his expertise was worth.
Addressing the Challenges
From the beginning, we focused on building a structured approach to Dan’s business. He appreciated our ability to dive deep into both the strategic and tactical aspects of his growth. Dan found our one-on-one sessions invaluable, where he could ask specific questions about his challenges and receive practical advice that he could apply immediately. He also benefited greatly from our weekly group sessions, which provided a supportive space to connect with other like-minded entrepreneurs and share insights.
Our direct and honest feedback helped Dan recognize his strengths and pinpoint areas for improvement. We don’t sugarcoat our advice, but we deliver it with care, helping clients grow in ways that are sustainable and meaningful.
Building Confidence and a Path to Sustainable Growth
A significant part of our work involved helping Dan recognize the value of his services and develop the confidence to charge accordingly. He mentioned that before working with us, he struggled to ask for his worth. By refining his approach and negotiating better contracts, he was able to land his first six-figure contract. Our guidance on contract structuring, pricing, and negotiation played a critical role in this achievement.
Creating a Scalable Business Model
One of the major shifts for Dan was moving away from the mindset of simply selling time for money. In our work together, we focused on breaking out of the corporate mindset that many entrepreneurs struggle with, especially those transitioning from a corporate background. Dan realized that while he had recreated a job in his first year, he hadn’t yet built a scalable business.
Together, we developed a path toward a sustainable business model—one that would allow him to adjust his business volume as needed without compromising quality or value. This shift was instrumental in helping Dan gain control over his business’s growth trajectory.
Results: Increased Revenue and a New Vision for the Future
The tangible results of our work together were impressive. Since starting with the Balance and Scale Method, Dan generated at least $140,000 in new revenue. He gained the confidence to negotiate larger contracts, secured deals that reflected his true worth, and laid the foundation for a business model that could support long-term growth.
Beyond the financial gains, Dan appreciated the sense of support and community that our program provided. He valued knowing that someone genuinely cared about his success—not just as a client, but as a person. The group setting became a space where everyone could celebrate successes together, creating a collective sense of achievement.
Dan highlighted three key reasons to choose the Balance and Scale Method:
