• (1/14) Do I Need To Know Everything I...
In this series, I share my experience of 10 years building a business around Excel VBA. To help you better understand how Excel can push forward your career, we will explore 7 topics, across a 14-day period, from marketing your Excel skills to choosing the right people to work with and scaling a micro-sized business.
Each topic is supported by a static video and a livestream for you to interact with Chris and video viewers and discuss each topic, live! Yes, this 14-day course is structured around alternating livestreams (7) and static video (7) releases. But there is more: I have prepared forms for you to complete (naturally, these are Excel-based), one for each topic, to force you to commit some of your ideas to paper, which makes it more likely you'll take action and move towards monetising your Excel skills.
Finally - a special challenge for you! I'm challenging you to really get involved with this series by making a short video or two on your smartphone about the topics we are discussing. What thoughts, questions, experiences do you have? Share your video with me and I may use it in the livestream the next day.

It's great to have customers and to be getting paid for Excel projects. But, at some point, you will want more! Is it possible to achieve scale in an Excel VBA consultancy? In this video, we discuss 5 key issues that you'll have to consider if you wish to transform your job into a business.
1. Can You Segment Your Customers?
Can you group customers by type - repeat customers, one-off projects and occasional clients, for example. Different customer groups have different requirements and place different demands on your time and resources.
2. What Are You Busy Times?
If you have segmented your customers, you can begin to establish when you'll be busy delivering work, and when you can undertake important strategic work to grow your business.
3. Do You Have Scale?
The holy grail! Do not design yourself a job - design a business. Do not hard wire limits to growth into your business model. Can you generate income without having to physically deliver the work yourself?
4. Should You Take On Others?
Others could be employed or contracted to support the core offering or to assist with other functions of the business. To what extent get you let them 'get on' with delivering for your customers?
5. Can You Scale Online?
Online activity probably represents your best opportunity to transform your job into a scaleable business; are you fully exploiting the opportunities online?
