Why Some Consultancies Stall at $3M

There’s a ceiling I see a lot of consultancies hit. 

Around the $2–3M mark. 

You’ve got a decent team. You’ve built a solid reputation. You’re winning good work. 

But things feel heavy. 

Margins are inconsistent. 

You’re still across too many decisions. 

And growth beyond this point feels harder than it should. 

Here’s why: 

The structure that got you here… isn’t the one that’ll get you there. 

To break through that $3M ceiling and grow to $5M… $10M… and beyond… 

You need to rebuild your operating model. 

— Define Your Leadership Roles — 

Who owns what? Who’s accountable for performance? Remove the bottlenecks. 

— Streamline Project Delivery — 

Systemise how work gets done — so you’re not the only one who can do it right. 

— Build a Business That Can Run Without You — 

That doesn’t mean stepping away. 

It means elevating your role — so your business can grow without relying on your personal capacity. 

It’s not just about more work. Or more clients. 

It’s about upgrading the engine behind your business. 

To your success, 

Josh
