There comes a point in everyone’s life where they must ask:

"How do I want to be remembered?"

Sometimes the question sneaks up on you. Sometimes it gently taps you on the shoulder. And sometimes…

It kicks you in the f*cking gut and makes you beg for mercy.

For me, it hit me when I least expected it. It hit me when I THOUGHT I was on top of the world.

Back at the end of 2021, I looked untouchable... at least from the outside.

Here's the context:

It's the end of 2021
Thousands of clients
Hundreds of thousands of customers
My portfolio of companies hitting new revenue records

It’s intense. The most hustle-and-grind season of my career.

In my mind, because of the revenues, I’m winning. “It’s finally paying off,” I think…

But that was on the surface.

Underneath was not as pretty.

Maybe you’ve felt this way before… on the “outside” everything looks pretty good. But behind the scenes… if only the ‘real world’ saw behind the scenes like YOU did.

Anyways…

On the outside, everyone’s asking me “how I did it,” and congratulating me on my successful year.

The Gurus Had LIED to Me...

... And they're lying to you.

I had done what they asked for. Head down, focus - “MONK MODE”, they call it.

Idiots.

First of all, you’re not a monk. Second of all, if you want to have ANY other areas of wealth in your life, you should not be modeling a monk.

I’d bought into the mainstream concept of success… hook, line & sinker.

MORE CLIENTS...

MORE TEAM...

MORE SCALE...

MORE MORE MORE...

My bank balance was higher than it'd ever been, and I was more unhappy than ever.

My team, 100+ strong, was canvassing clients from literally all over the world. Big events, huge launches, tons and tons of “chaos,” which can be a lot of fun… but the MODEL itself was fundamentally BROKEN…

And in less than 24 months from the PEAK - it would all be gone…

On this page - I'll show you how to "level out" the ups & downs, build something lasting & meaningful - AND ENJOY IT while you do it

(Yes, it's possible to grow AND enjoy it while doing so)

This is a big promise, and it’s going to include some teaching that you’re just going to have to grind through… if you want a neat little lesson buy a pop-up book at Walmart.

If you’re ready to build something worth building - strap in.

If I knew then what I knew now, I would have built it VERY differently. In fact, I am building it very differently - that’s the only reason you’re on this page.

There’s an epidemic of businesses operating on paradigms from an old model - a model I helped create in 2015.

Since then, I have seen incremental improvements in the space, but little to no real innovation.

And these businesses are in trouble. They’re stuck in a business purgatory, though most won’t admit it.

Here’s my prediction: They will disappear into obscurity within the next 18-24 months.

And an emerging model will take their place...

It’s not something that’s coming, it’s already happening.

My company, equity partners, and private clients are deploying the new model and steadily capturing marketshare. By the time these concepts reach the mainstream, it’ll already be too late.

You do not want to be left behind… and here’s an easy way to self-assess to know if you’re at risk:

Growth is entirely dependent on how many NEW clients you acquire each month
Advertising budget has to constantly increase just to keep up with operational expense load
If you are sick for 2 weeks or want to take a break your business is in jeopardy
The way you feel in the morning is coming from how well your revenues are doing
If I offered you a million dollars right now to walk away - you’d take it

Check off any of these boxes? Don’t worry…

Here's How to Fix It

Great, long-lasting businesses are built with margin.

Margin is not what you think it is. I’m not talking about just financial margin, I mean operational margin and personal margin. It’s what gives you the ability to build an enterprise that checks off all the boxes:

Fun and enjoyable
Happy and healthy
Proactive and profitable
Sturdy and secure

Margin ensures that you win in ALL areas of life... not just one.

Traditional “high-ticket” businesses are designed AGAINST margin...

Sounds crazy at first, but when you observe the 2nd and 3rd order consequences of the “high-ticket” model - you’ll see it creates nothing but a self-consuming machine.

How do I know?

From 2015 to 2020, I built 3 different companies using this exact model.

I ran down this “road” faster than anyone else in this space. And when I saw what was waiting for me, I left.

When I came back after my hiatus, I saw that no one had invented anything new - so I decided to start again.

But this time, I would build with a new model the online consulting industry has yet to witness. A model that secures more freedom, more fun, and more margin for consultants and educators.

Single-minded “scale” would no longer be an option - this time, I’ll be building a steady, sturdy, and “unkillable” business.

The rest of this page will show you how I am building it.

But, be warned...

... there will be controversial claims that go against what’s deemed as “truth” in the industry.

Don’t take my word for it.

Read with independent judgment - question my logic, identify any flaws, and scrutinize my arguments.

By the end, we’ll likely reach the same conclusions. And from there, I’ll present you with an opportunity to learn about the emerging model on a deeper level. But first, we need to understand…

Why are “high-ticket” businesses failing?

Hi, I'm Taylor Welch.

From 2014 to 2020, I built 3 different brands.

They all grew big and they all grew fast.

The initial outward success fooled me into making a false assumption:

The path to fulfillment was to do more of the same and do it faster with more urgency.

So I pushed the high-ticket model to its limits - ultimately breaking my team, my business, and almost my family.

I’m writing this as a cautionary tale to all consultants and experts who want to scale without losing their sanity.

This is for the legitimate consultants and educators who value family, contribution, and faith.

This is for players who are in it for the long haul. If money is your sole motivator, this is not for you.

The 6 Stages of a Collapsing Consultancy

When you expand the time horizon, the model begins to break… fast.

They go through a predictable “6 Stages Of Collapse”… I’ve seen it happen multiple times (and experienced it firsthand).

Take a tab on the gurus that were popular 2 years ago. Half of them are irrelevant or launching new brands trying to recapture the “glory days”.

And the thing is… they’re intelligent individuals. They are just operating a model that’s not designed to last.

When you’re running a model that’s entirely dependent on NEW clients, here’s what you go through:

STAGE ONE: LAUNCH

Revenue:

PLENTY

Burn (Costs):

MINIMAL

Margin:

GREAT

Team:

HAPPY

This is the part everyone loves. You have a converting offer.

Revenues are good. Expenses are minimal. Team is happy.

The levers are obvious: book more calls, hire more team, acquire more clients.

STAGE TWO: ACCELERATION

Revenue:

RISING

Burn (Costs):

RISING

Margin:

STEADY

Team:

CHALLENGED

Now, you want to “scale”.

You hire more team members, up your marketing budget, and invest in more tech - in other words, your operational costs scale with your revenue targets.

You feel stress - “but it’s the good kind of stress”, you tell yourself.

STAGE THREE: DECELERATION

Revenue:

STEADY

Burn (Costs):

RISING

Margin:

DECREASING

Team:

STRESSED

Deceleration doesn’t mean you’re hitting the brakes. In fact, you’re “scaling” with more intensity than ever. It’s your MARGINS that are decelerating.

You’re in a constant race to feed the beast that you have created through operational expenses and burn. And no matter what you do, your foot has to stay on the gas.

You feel forced to grow by necessity, not by choice.

Margins are decreasing, but revenues are still on an upward trend. "I’m winning," you tell yourself.

STAGE FOUR: PLATEAU

Revenue:

SLOWING

Burn (Costs):

RISING

Margin:

BREAKEVEN (or loss)

Team:

REACTIVE

Life is… problematic.

It’s your first breakeven month (or even a slight loss). You feel like every month is a race against the last. Revenues are actually starting to slow down because you cannot focus - it’s getting more expensive to stay afloat.

You’re forced to try what the “experts” tell you:

‘Expand your TAM and take on subpar clients
Hire unskilled labor to handle the volume
Push your team harder ‘temporarily’

Keep pumping more pressure into the beast that created this situation.

STAGE FIVE: DECLINE

Revenue:

SLOWING

Burn (Costs):

RISING

Margin:

LOSS

Team:

BURNT OUT

The ‘tactics’ work for a month or two, and you manage to stay afloat. But the pressure is nonstop - your expenses feel ‘heavy’.

Operations are overloaded. Sales is overloaded. Marketing is overloaded. Everywhere is overloaded… And you’re working more to “cover up” other people’s mistakes than your own workload.

STAGE SIX: DEATH

Revenue:

TANKING

Burn (Costs):

RISING

Margin:

LOSS

Team:

DONE

Nothing is working. Other competition is eating your lunch.

No levers left to pull, and every creative brainstorm with your remaining team just feels like it turns into a doom spiral.

It’s time to exit… not the good kind, the painful crash kind. You’re done.

When a business reaches Stage 6 - they are bartered off for parts or just disappear entirely. And, believe it or not... this happens all the time.

"How do I want to be remembered?"

Back at the end of 2021, I looked untouchable... at least from the outside.

Meanwhile I’m at dinner with my family and my daughter won’t say a word to me.

"Taylor, you weren't around."

And that’s when I knew I’d done it all wrong.
