620 - The Death of Billable Hours
As a consultant, you're probably feeling the ground shift beneath your feet right now. While everyone's celebrating AI's promise to make us 10x more productive, I'm seeing a darker reality unfold. Your biggest clients are starting to question why they should pay $200 an hour for work they know AI can handle in minutes. Fortune 1000 CEOs aren't waiting six months for insights anymore—they want them yesterday, and they're willing to cut you out if AI can deliver faster. In this episode, I reveal why the traditional billable hour model is becoming a death trap and share the exact framework I use to help consultants escape the time-for-money cycle. I'll walk you through my 3P system that helped one client slash their working hours in half while nearly tripling their revenue. The consultants who make this shift now will dominate—those who don't will become AI's assistants.
