The gap between "freelancer who does great work" and "freelancer who builds something that compounds" isn't talent.
It's not marketing either.
It's just not deleting the thing you already made.
I spent years rebuilding the same frameworks from scratch on every client project. Same positioning docs. Same guidelines structure. Same strategy templates. Delivered, closed, forgot, repeated.
Last week I finally packaged all of it.
Wrote about why it took me this long in this week's BRIGHT Method.

Your Client Work Is Already a Product. You Just Keep Deleting It.
I had a bit of a moment last week. I was going through old project folders — brand strategies, positioning docs, naming frameworks, guidelines decks — and it hit me how dumb I’d been.
Such a sharp way to frame this.
Took me a while to realize how much valuable work I was ‘resetting’ instead of compounding.
happy to hear that!
Completely relatable. Once you start thinking in compounding terms, decision-making shifts dramatically.
very true
Insightful 🔥 👍
The framing of compounding vs resetting hits hard, packaging deliverables as reusable assets is how you stop trading time for money.
