I’m primarily on Bsky these days. It’s 2015 Twitter without the fascism.

I wasted $150k trying to get more leads for my agency. We got more leads, but it didn’t grow.
That’s because leads weren’t the issue my business had.
It was an offer and pricing problem.
This is why i am so adamant about fixing the foundation before you go get more leads.
I 100% agree with @VeryWellVersed here. AI Search is a branding channel, or should be measured similarly.

I am taking on 3 more 1:1 coaching clients this year, before I close that and go heads down building the 2.0 version of my coaching business.
If you own a digital agency that does at least $25k/mo and you haven't grown like you hoped this year, pop me a DM and let's chat.

Experts refuse to narrow what they’re known for because they worry they’ll miss out on customers…
And then they’re known for nothing and… can’t get people to buy
The irony
The biggest boss that every entrepreneur has to beat is their own psychology.
Yesterday, my wife asked me why I stopped doing something that was working. I didn't have a good answer.
So I guess two lessons:
1. Have an awesome wife.
2. Keep doing what works.

There needs to be a new “pill” added on to red pill/blue pill.
I call it @AlexHormozi “Mozi Pilled.”
Friends at content marketing world in Denver this week! I’ll be down there from about 330-430 tomorrow. Lmk if you’re here and let’s meet up!
I kinda* and unintentionally quit listening to podcasts earlier this year.
Started listening to more books and really studying them.
Podcasts mostly feel like cheap dopamine to me now.
Strange shift.
*I listen to 1-2 short episodes a week. That’s it.
Two clients using the lead reactivation strategy to build their sales pipeline.
This is one of the quickest wins for new business in any agency.
Ignore at your own risk.
Friendly reminder that it’s ok to be selfish. It literally means “ a lover of oneself.”
If you can’t love yourself, how can you love others?
I’m all about being selfish AND caring about others.
I built two agencies to mid to high six figures. Employees. Payroll. Simple delivery.
And still, my $400k/yr coaching biz that is just me and Claude is WAY better for me.
Go for what you want. See if it’s what you want. If it is, keep going. If not, change it.
True freedom.
I'll just say it.
The ultimate business is $400k per year.
- No employees.
- Minimal overhead. (sub 10% of revenue)
- 20 hours a week.
- 40 weeks a year.
I will not be taking questions at this time.

The work-life line I won't cross as a parent: I don't want my kids to grow up NOT wanting to be entrepreneurs because they saw me miserable doing it. I want them to see the work bring me alive. What's the boundary you never break?

I just had a client create their own profile on AUGUST, my proprietary Agency Operating System. A big step towards empowering agency owners to make data and insight driven decisions about their agency.
AI features coming soon!
