Resources for
service business owners

The reading list we hand to every client. Books, audiobooks, and tools we keep coming back to. No fluff, no affiliate dump. Just the work that's shaped how we run the agency and what we tell clients to read first.

The reading list we send every client

If you only read eight business books in your life, make it these. Every one of them shows up in conversations with clients somewhere between week one and month six. Pick whichever format works for the way you actually consume things.

  1. 01

    $100M Offers

    Alex Hormozi

    How to make offers so good people feel stupid saying no. The cleanest reframe of pricing, value, and risk reversal we've ever read. Read it before you touch your service pricing.

  2. 02

    $100M Leads

    Alex Hormozi

    The companion to $100M Offers. Where leads actually come from, why most lead-gen advice is wrong, and how to engineer a real pipeline. Required reading for anyone running paid ads.

  3. 03

    The E-Myth Revisited

    Michael Gerber

    Why most small businesses fail because the founder is a great technician and a bad operator. The original framework for building a business that runs without you. Decades old. Still right.

  4. 04

    Profit First

    Mike Michalowicz

    Pay yourself first, then operate on what's left. The cash management system that fixes the silent killer of profitable-on-paper businesses. We've watched clients go from broke to banked using this alone.

  5. 05

    Built to Sell

    John Warrillow

    If you wouldn't sell your business today, what's broken? A short narrative-driven manual on building a business that doesn't depend on you and is actually worth something to a buyer.

  6. 06

    Traction

    Gino Wickman

    The Entrepreneurial Operating System. Boring on the surface, transformational once you actually run it. The operating manual for service businesses that want to stop being chaotic.

  7. 07

    Atomic Habits

    James Clear

    Not strictly business. Read it anyway. Every operator we work with running consistently good campaigns runs on systems, not motivation. This is the foundational text on systems that stick.

  8. 08

    Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion

    Robert Cialdini

    The six universal principles behind why people say yes. Anyone running ads, writing landing pages, or closing on calls should know these cold. The mental models behind half the moves we make on paid campaigns.

What we actually use

The software and services we run on, the ones we install for clients on day one, and the ones we'd never put a paying client behind. Coming soon.

In progress

This list is being curated by the team. If there's a category you want us to cover first, drop it in the next strategy call.

Plain-language playbooks

Free downloadable guides on the topics we get asked about most. Conversion tracking setup, landing page anatomy, what a good monthly report looks like. Coming soon.

In progress

Drafting now. The first one will be a no-nonsense walkthrough of how to set up Google Ads conversion tracking for a service business correctly the first time.
