Trim spend without slowing the business: a sorting method, renegotiation scripts, and guardrails that protect the growth engine while you cut.
Most cost-cutting hits the wrong line first, and revenue follows the spend out the door.
Under pressure, the easy cuts are the dangerous ones: the channel that fed the pipeline, the role that held a function together, the tool everyone quietly depended on. The bill drops for a quarter, then growth stalls and the saving evaporates. The problem is rarely a lack of will. It is the absence of an order of operations that separates the cut that pays from the cut that bleeds.
This course gives you that order. You sort spend before you touch it, renegotiate contracts before you cancel them, and collapse a bloated software stack down to what earns its keep. You learn where waste actually hides, how to remove roles without losing capability, and which marketing cuts quietly cost more than they save. A closing sequence with guardrails keeps every decision reversible and tied to a number, so you protect the engine while you lighten the load.
Founders: facing a runway or margin crunch and need to cut without gutting the parts that drive revenue.
Operators and finance leads: who own the budget and want a defensible sequence for trimming spend across tools, contracts, and headcount.
Owner-managers: watching software and overhead creep upward and want a repeatable way to find and remove the waste.
