From 6 to 7 Figures Is a System, Not a Slogan
Have you ever noticed how many business owners work nonstop… but never seem to break through?
They are busy. They are grinding. They are answering phones, selling jobs, managing crews, fixing mistakes, and putting out fires every day. On paper, they are doing “all the right things.”
And yet, they stay stuck at six figures.
That is why I enjoyed reading From 6 to 7 Figures. Not because it reinvented business, but because it reinforced something most people try to skip over. The jump from six figures to seven is not about effort. It is about systems, clarity, and leverage.
This book lays out a simple roadmap for entry-level and mid-level service businesses that want to move out of the starter phase and into real scale. It is not flashy. It is not complicated. And that is exactly why it works.
Why Simple Works When You Are Stuck
One of the biggest strengths of this book is clarity. The ideas are familiar if you have studied business at all. You will hear echoes of Dan Martell, Grant Cardone, and other proven operators who preach systems, time leverage, and sales discipline.
That familiarity is not a weakness. It is reinforcement.
Most businesses do not fail because they do not know enough. They fail because they do not execute consistently on the fundamentals. This book does a good job reminding six-figure operators that complexity is not the answer. Discipline is.
For me personally, it serves as a strong teaching tool for newer locations and growing teams. It shows a clear path to the one million dollar level without overwhelming the reader. If you are already running five million dollars or more, you likely know most of this. But a good read is a good read, and sometimes the reminder is exactly what sharpens execution.
Offer Clarity Changes Everything
One of the most important concepts reinforced in the book is offer clarity.
Confusion kills growth.
When your customers do not clearly understand what you do, why you are different, and what happens next, your business stalls. Clarity makes selling easier. Clarity makes marketing cheaper. Clarity reduces friction for your team.
At Window Ninjas, we obsess over this. Our services are clearly defined. Our process is clear. Our expectations are clear. That clarity allows us to train faster, sell more consistently, and scale across markets without reinventing the wheel.
If you are stuck at six figures, there is a strong chance your offer is muddy. Fix that, and growth follows.
Time Leverage Is the Real Unlock
You can never learn too much about time leverage.
Six-figure businesses often rely on the owner doing everything. Answering phones. Selling jobs. Scheduling crews. Managing follow-ups. Fixing issues. That works early on, but it becomes the ceiling.
The book does a solid job explaining that growth happens when you remove yourself from low-leverage tasks. That lesson alone is worth the read.
But here is the part most people do not talk about. Letting go is uncomfortable. It requires trust. It requires systems. And it requires accepting that growth comes with pressure.
Time leverage is not just about working less. It is about building infrastructure that can handle volume without breaking.
Sales Systems Beat Sales Talent
Another strong area in the book is sales simplification.
Great sales results do not come from charisma. They come from process. Scripts. Follow-up systems. Reconnect calls. Consistency. This philosophy aligns closely with what Grant Cardone teaches, and it works.
At Window Ninjas, we do not rely on “natural closers.” We rely on systems. Our sales scripts are tested. Our follow-up systems are intentional. Our call center does not guess. It executes.
This is where many six-figure businesses struggle. They sell when they feel like it. They follow up when they remember. They rely on memory instead of process.
Systems remove emotion from sales. That is how revenue becomes predictable.
Where Most Books Stop Short
Here is where I will be honest.
Most books that talk about going from six to seven figures do not talk enough about stress. They talk about growth, but not about the weight that comes with it.
Every level has a toll.
Six figures has chaos. Seven figures has pressure. Eight figures has complexity. Nine figures has consequences.
As businesses grow, mistakes compound faster. Decisions carry more weight. Speed matters more. And mental fortitude becomes just as important as strategy.
Growth is not just a business challenge. It is a personal one. You have to ask yourself what you want your life to look like and whether you are willing to build the systems required to enjoy that next level.
Where We Go 10x at Window Ninjas
This is where execution separates theory from reality.
Sales scripts and follow-up systems are important. But real scale requires infrastructure.
Our call center is next level. Not because it is fancy, but because it is disciplined. Calls are answered. Follow-ups are made. Reconnects are intentional. Cold calls happen. And our franchise owners do not have to depend on one or two people showing up every day to keep revenue alive.
Brand matters. Reviews matter. SEO compounds. Eyeballs create opportunity. And when systems are shared across a franchise network, growth accelerates faster and cheaper than doing it alone.
Franchising, when done right, is not about control. It is about leverage.
Why Support Beats Going It Alone
One of the most overlooked lessons in business is the cost of doing everything yourself.
How much time is it costing you?
How much money?
How much stress?
What is it costing your family?
Support wins. Period.
Building a support system may look expensive at first, but it saves time and money in the long run. Buying back your time is not a theory. It is a requirement for scale.
Would you rather depend on one person to answer phones and sell jobs, or a trained team that executes every day without you managing them?
A team of one hundred rowing in the same direction will always outperform a team of one.
The Lesson I Learned the Hard Way
When I started Window Ninjas, this book would have helped. It would have helped even earlier when I was with Window Gang.
There were no systems. No playbooks. No structure. It was a figure-it-out mentality. That works for survival, but not for scale. That is why growth stalled and franchising outside the internal network was not possible.
The turning point came with a hard reset. A new mentality. Paying for coaching. Paying for leadership training. Studying how real companies are built.
Once we stopped guessing and started following proven frameworks, everything changed. Growth followed clarity. Systems replaced chaos. And we never looked back.
Hard work matters, but smart work wins. Paying to learn faster is not a cost. It is leverage.
My Challenge to You
If you are stuck, do not ignore it.
Ask yourself what it is costing you to stay where you are. Your business. Your employees. Your family. Your future.
If this article made you curious, motivated, or called out, that is intentional.
Reach out and tell me where you are winning. Tell me where you are frustrated. Even if you are happy, I enjoy those conversations. Sometimes one adjustment changes everything.
And if joining a team with proven systems helps you grow bigger, faster, and with more time and financial freedom, then it is worth exploring.
If this made you think… let’s talk.
Keep Shining.
