Profit Over Revenue: The Secret to Unlocking Scalable Business Growth with Founder of Scale Advisors, Jeremy Reeves
Episode 603
Ever feel like your business is running YOU instead of the other way around? Like no matter how much revenue you bring in, it never feels like enough—because behind the scenes, things are messy, margins are thin, and burnout is creeping in? Yeah, I’ve been there… and so has today’s guest.
In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I’m hanging with Jeremy Reeves—founder of Scale Advisors, the dude who’s generated nearly $200 million in revenue for himself and his clients. He’s built and sold a multi-million dollar company, served as CEO of an 8-figure portfolio with 100+ employees across 7 businesses, and crafted at least five different 8-figure offers. Safe to say, the man knows his stuff when it comes to scaling.
But here’s what I love about Jeremy—he’s not about building a big shiny revenue number just to impress people. In fact, he says the word “revenue” should be banished from our vocabulary. Why? Because entrepreneurs have been sold a lie that top-line revenue is the holy grail, when in reality it’s about profit, peace of mind, and freedom. That’s where he comes in—helping high-integrity entrepreneurs engineer scalable profit models without the chaos or complexity that’s killing most businesses today.
We jammed on so many truth bombs in this conversation. Jeremy broke down the 5 economic levers that control every dollar in your business (spoiler: it’s not about hacking your way to more sales). He shared why most entrepreneurs hit an invisible wall that has nothing to do with marketing, and how to spot the ONE domino in your business that knocks down every other problem when you fix it.
One of my favorite parts? Jeremy’s perspective on working half the time and getting double the results. As someone who’s all about systematically harmonizing ambition with well-being, this resonated hard. Because let’s face it—what’s the point of hustlin’ if you’re not Happy Hustlin’?
Here are a few key takeaways from the episode:
Stop obsessing over revenue. Profit and sustainability beat vanity metrics every time.
Leverage the 5 economic drivers to maximize margins and growth.
Every business has a “domino problem”—find it, fix it, and everything else gets easier.
Work smarter, not harder. More hours ≠ more results.
Simplify to scale. Complexity kills momentum; clarity fuels it.
At the end of the day, Jeremy reminds us that building an empire doesn’t have to mean burning out. You can engineer a business model that’s scalable, profitable, and still gives you space for family, freedom, and fun.
If you’re ready to ditch the chaos, stop glorifying revenue, and start building a business that actually serves your life (not the other way around), then you’ve got to tune into this one.
What does Happy Hustlin mean to you?
Jeremy says to live life the way that you want to live it. Whatever that is for you, know? Yeah, just live it how you want to live it. Do it your way, man. You get one, you know, and even if you believe in reincarnation, you only remember one. So, yeah, man. Do it how you want it.
