In this episode, Molly Mariss breaks down the 2-3 Client Business Model — a lean, intentional approach to growing a behind-the-scenes business without burnout. She shares how Integrators, OBMs, and service providers can simplify their offers, attract aligned clients, and create consistent $5K–$8K months while working just 20–25 hours a week. You’ll walk away with practical steps to package premium retainers, refine your systems, and build long-term partnerships that create flow, focus, and freedom.
