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.
