30-Day Cost Cutting

A method for systematically reducing business costs through recurring "spring cleaning" exercises that get progressively deeper each time.

Core Concept

• Schedule calendar reminders every 30 days to review and cut costs
• Each review reveals new opportunities that weren't obvious in previous rounds
• Like cleaning a house - first clean surface level, then discover deeper areas to clean

Implementation Process

• Start with obvious "low hanging fruit"

  • Cut unnecessary SaaS subscriptions
  • Review and eliminate overpriced agency relationships
  • Identify immediate cost savings opportunities

• Second Round (30 days later)

  • Once surface costs are eliminated, deeper cost-cutting opportunities become visible
  • Similar to discovering dusty areas after initial house cleaning
  • Look for previously overlooked expenses

• Subsequent Rounds

  • Continue process every 30 days
  • Each round reveals new areas for optimization
  • Like "unpacking closets" after surface-level cleaning is done

Key Principles

• Recurring nature is critical - don't just do it once
• Progressive discovery - each round reveals new opportunities
• Systematic approach - scheduled calendar reminders ensure consistency
• Deeper analysis with each iteration
• Treat it as an ongoing process rather than one-time event

Results

• Multiple rounds of spring cleaning lead to continuous cost optimization
• Even after thinking everything is cleaned up, new opportunities emerge
• Creates a culture of cost consciousness and efficiency
