157: Book Yourself Solid with Matthew Kimberley

Author: Jake Jorgovan March 5, 2020 Duration: 40:24
Matthew Kimberley pours out some amazing insights in this week's episode that you won't want to miss! With a background in sales and as an author himself, Matthew has also taken over the entire program called Book Yourself Solid, which was originally created and written by Michael Port.
 
With Book Yourself Solid, Matthew helps business owners figure out what path is right for them. The book offers frameworks for you to think through this and what fundamental principles and mindset you can apply to reach your business goals. If you need to convert or generate leads, Michael can help you, so long as you are actively doing these things somehow.  It's about strategies verse the tactics- this is truly an interesting outlook on how you should question your motives. 
 
If people pay you for your time and your expertise, this book and this episode are for you! There are so many great pieces of advice that Matthew dives into here that are both exciting and thoughtful. I realized there are different ways to think about growth for your business… and it's not always about more money.

For anyone running a creative agency or building a consulting practice, the daily hustle involves far more than just doing great work-it's about building a sustainable business on your own terms. Working Without Pants-Creative Entrepreneurship digs into that reality with host Jake Jorgovan. Instead of abstract theory, this podcast focuses on the tangible strategies and conversations that actually lead to landing better clients and more fulfilling projects. Jorgovan sits down with practitioners who have been in the trenches, people like Brennan Dunn, Brent Weaver, Kai Davis, and Blair Enns, to dissect what works now. You'll hear specific stories about pricing, positioning, sales conversations, and the operational shifts that allow a solo practitioner or small team to thrive without burning out. The discussions are grounded in the intersecting worlds of arts, business, and design, recognizing that creative entrepreneurship requires a unique blend of vision and commercial savvy. Tune in for a candid exchange of ideas that feels more like a mastermind session than a formal interview, all aimed at helping you refine your offer and reclaim your time. This is a resource for those ready to move beyond just being busy and build a business that truly works.
