Most business owners think they need more software.
They're wrong.I see founders spending 67% of their revenue on SaaS subscriptions—working to fund their tools instead of themselves. That's backwards.
Here's the truth: you can't automate your way to revenue.
Software is for making existing work efficient. But if you don't have work worth making efficient, you're just burning cash.
In this video, I break down:
- Why spending $800/month on software when you're making $1,200 is a death spiral
- The "Digital Minimum"
- what a $50-100/month stack actually looks like
- My 10% rule: software should never exceed 10% of revenue (ideally 5%)
- How to audit, cut, and rebuild your stack the right way
- When to actually add software back (and the 2x ROI test)
I built a SaaS product that hundreds of people use monthly. And I'm always the slowest person in the room to add new software. That should tell you something.
