Cost-Cutting Measures

3.  Will I receive guidance on radical cost-cutting measures?

Yes, the 1Mby1M program offers guidance on radical cost-cutting measures, primarily as a component of its larger “restructuring playbooks for profitability.”

The curriculum and methodology are built on a “capital efficient” and “bootstrapping first” philosophy, which inherently focuses on cost management from the outset. Key takeaways include:

• Focus on Fundamentals: The curriculum teaches B-to-C and other entrepreneurs to “flip the script” from chasing vanity metrics to focusing on fundamentals like monetization, retention, and strong unit economics. This approach naturally requires a keen eye on expenses to ensure the business is viable.
• Case-Study-Based Learning: The program’s use of case studies from successful entrepreneurs provides real-world examples of how companies have navigated challenges, including financial constraints, and built sustainable businesses. These case studies would likely illustrate the implementation of strategic cost management.
• “Bootstrap First, Raise Money Later”: The central message is to build a business with customers, revenue, and profits, making financing optional. This philosophy is the foundation of their guidance, which would include a constant focus on avoiding unnecessary spending and managing cash flow.
