Once in a while, I get playfully teased for the things I don't particularly enjoy, like:
Binge-watching Netflix series Keeping up with the latest TV shows Indulging in fast food Getting involved in political debates Complaining (this one drives me insane) Dwelling on the past Creating unnecessary drama Staying cooped up indoors all day Skipping my daily exercise routine Doing anything that requires the temperature to drop below 40 degrees
But you know what I absolutely love?
Going for multi-hour bike rides or hikes Camping under the stars Catching a sunset (my ultimate favorite) Spending as much time as possible outdoors Goofing around like a teenager and laughing with friends Enjoying a nice cigar in my Birkenstocks Savoring a decaf coffee while writing Writing copy in new places Roadtrips to destination unknown And of course, snacking on delicious hummus Some might think I'm a bit unconventional, but I absolutely love what I do.
The people I help.
And the purpose I'm working towards...
Assisting small business owners turn followers to paying clients on autopilot.
What’s your number 1 least favorite and most favorite thing to do?
In 2021, I was desperate to make my first online sale.
I did everything "right": –> Ran paid ads –>Created daily content –>Hosted weekly lives –>Built a free community
But after burning $1,000 on leads… Nothing. Zero sales. Complete silence.
Then something clicked.
Instead of pushing my offer… I started listening.
I hopped on calls with no agenda. Just to understand their struggles. Just to hear their stories. Just to learn.
That's when everything changed.
I took the feedback and created a 14-day email nurture sequence: –> Sharing my journey –> Reflecting on their pain points –> Offering simple solutions
No pressure. No perfect copy. Just real conversations.
The result? 5 sales. 48 hours. $2,500 revenue.
All because I stopped selling and started listening.
Here's what I learned:
1. Get on free calls (no pitch) → Just listen → Take notes → Learn their language 2. Share story-driven content → Real struggles → Real solutions → Real transformation 3. Craft offers that reflect their words → Use their language → Solve their problems → Meet them where they are
The truth?
Your first sale isn't about perfect marketing. It's about perfect listening.
What's holding you back from having real conversations with your audience?

Two types of entrepreneurs when it comes to campaign timing:
The Over-Planners and The Under-Executors.
The Over-Planners spend 60 days mapping out every detail.
War rooms.
Spreadsheets.
Perfect timing analysis.
They know exactly when Mercury is in retrograde and why Tuesday at 3:47 pm is optimal for launch.
But they never launch.
The Under-Executors wing it.
"I'll announce my workshop next Thursday."
No strategy.
No sequence.
No follow-up.
They launch constantly but convert nothing.
Here's what I find actually works.
Seven days of focused promotion.
Not 30 days of scattered effort.
Not same-day announcements.
Seven days.
Why seven though?
Long enough to tell your story multiple ways.
Short enough that people don't forget what they signed up for.
Most entrepreneurs think more time equals better results.
Wrong.
More focus equals better results.
I'd rather spend $1,000 over seven days than $35/day for 30 days.
Same budget.
Completely different outcomes.
Concentrated effort beats distributed effort.
Every time.
The Over-Planners are afraid to commit.
The Under-Executors are afraid to plan.
Both miss the sweet spot.
Strategic intensity over a short window.
Your audience doesn't need months of buildup.
They need seven days of clarity.
What they're getting.
When they're getting it.
Why they need it now.
The secret isn't perfect timing.
It's focused execution.
Pick seven days.
Go all in.
Watch what happens.

The 2000+ subscribers monetization plan.
I often have conversations with business owners who have a social media or email list of 2000+ people and sporadic revenue.
One month is 15k.
The next 3k.
Then 7k.
Then 1k.
Why is that?
The simple answer is they aren’t identifying their biggest bottleneck.
If their message, offer, and content were dialed, they would have a steady stream of inbound leads.
If they had an automated follow-up system in place, they could generate sales on demand.
If they had the right tracking system, they could double down on what’s working.
If they wanted to grow, they could turn on paid ads once their conversion engine is validated.
It’s all about being able to identify and take down the biggest bottleneck that’s keeping them stuck.
I’ve seen people waste years with this.
Their revenue stays stagnant.
They stay stuck on the content hamster wheel.
They continue to search for shiny new tactics as a band-aid fix to their real problem.
It pains me to stand by and watch.
If you’re someone with a following or an email list of 2000 people or more.
And you want to scale to 30K predictable months.
With a lean team of 1-2.
Lean software stack of $250 or less.
Only six new clients a month.
A conveyor built of high-quality inbound leads.
So that you can build a high-profit, low-stress business.

In 2021, I made $30 the entire year online.
Since 2022 we’ve generated $7M+ collectively.
(this post isn’t about money though)
I invested tens of thousands in coaching programs that promised fast results.
Ran ads that went nowhere.
Posted content nobody saw.
Built systems that didn’t convert.
But here’s what I learned.
Marketing isn’t about shiny tactics and dopamine-hitting products. It’s about sustainable systems.
The moment I stopped chasing quick wins...
And started focusing on long-term value...
Everything changed.
Now we’ve helped 200+ businesses scale with:
Lean teams (3 or less)
Simple software ($250/Mo max)
One platform focus
High profit margins
Low stress approache
But the biggest win?
Learning that true success comes from transparency and trust.
Because rock bottom isn’t a destination. It’s a foundation.
When you’re willing to:
→ Stop buying into false promises
→ Cap enrollment for quality
→ Build community over sales
→ Trust the journey
There’s only one way to go – UP.

I looked successful, but I was drowning inside.
The corporate career, multi-six-figure salary, picture-perfect home, three weeks of vacation a year...
From the outside, it all looked like I was "making it."
Truth was, I was stuck in a cycle of people-pleasing that was slowly killing me.
No boundaries.
No real peace.
Just constant anxiety about letting others down.
I'd spend my days at work, then come home and think about work.
I'd be with family but my mind was with clients.
I was physically present but mentally always somewhere else.
My success came in waves - massive achievements followed by crushing burnout.
What was the point of "having it all" when I couldn't enjoy any of it?
Then one day, everything changed.
I decided I'd rather lose it all than continue living this way.
I chose inner peace over external validation.
I walked away.
It wasn't easy rebuilding.
Years of mentorship taught me the hard truth – without boundaries, nothing else matters.
The biggest lesson I learned?
Setting boundaries isn't selfish – it's the foundation of everything worthwhile.
Today, my business model looks radically different:
I work fewer hours with higher impact
I choose clients carefully (and say no regularly)
I build simple systems that scale without burning out
I refuse to sacrifice my energy for any amount of money
Just yesterday, one of my clients turned down $50K because they knew it would compromise their boundaries.
Two years ago, I would have called that crazy.
Today, I call it wisdom.
You don't have to follow my path of breakdown before breakthrough.
You can learn from my mistakes.
I'll be packing everything that's helped me generate millions while maintaining boundaries into a new short course.

The "Be-Do-Have" Principle Has a Hidden Truth
Most personal development experts talk about "Be-Do-Have" as if "being" is the magical first step.
While I believe in this principle, there's a critical nuance most miss:
After identifying your leverage point, it comes down to DOING.
Here's what I mean:
The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire isn't just mindset—it's recognizing different constraints.
The millionaire might think, "I need more ad spend." The billionaire knows, "I need stronger team culture."
Each level of success requires a different "level of being" to unlock it.
Think about two athletes:
– Athlete A: Goes out drinking, poor sleep habits, disconnected from purpose
– Athlete B: Early riser, disciplined training, nutrition focus, spiritual connection
Athlete B doesn't just "think" like a champion. They DO the things champions do consistently.
The hidden truth?
Your "being" is revealed through your actions.
The feedback loop is everything:
→ Take massive action
→ Observe results
→ Adjust your approach
→ Repeat with new awareness
My biggest takeaway: True transformation happens in the DOING zone, where your "being" is put to the test daily.
What actions are you taking that reflect who you're becoming?

The Secret to Great Follow-Up?
It's not about persistence. It's about personalization.
Quick wins feel good for a moment.
Strategic nurture builds lasting revenue.
Here's what most get wrong:
→ They focus on quantity over quality
→ They miss what truly drives conversion
Let's break down what actually matters:
1. The Timing Impact
↳ Random outreach gets random results
↳ Strategic sequences create predictable sales
2. The Value Equation
↳ Pure pitching kills trust
↳ Consistent value builds relationships
3. The Automation Factor
↳ Manual follow-up limits scale
↳ Smart systems multiply results
4. The Trust Element
↳ Generic messages breed resistance
↳ Personal touches build connection
5. The Conversion Loop
↳ One-time reach gets one-time results
↳ Multi-touch nurture creates lasting clients
6. The Follow-Up Truth
↳ Pushing for sales creates resistance
↳ Leading with value inspires action
7. The Revenue Reality
↳ Quick sales fade fast
↳ Nurture relationships compound over time
Here's what most fail to remember:
Your success isn't measured by reach.
It's measured by the depth of the relationships you build.
The truth is non-negotiable:
Great follow-up isn't about you.
It's about them.

Have you noticed this strange disconnect in online business?
Scroll your feed for 10 seconds and you’ll see it...
Hundreds of comments...
Likes...
Reposts...
It seems like everyone is celebrating:
“Got 150 comments on my post!”
“Breaking record likes this month!”
“My content is going viral!”
But I have one question...
How many of those likes and comments are turning into BUYERS?
You see, I believe most people have it backwards...
Follow-up is what closes deals, not more engagement.
Because “What you don’t convert, costs you.”
Here are 3 powerful facts most business owners miss:
1. It takes LESS THAN 1000 clients to build a 7-figs business online
↳ You don’t need a massive audience, just the right system
2. We’ve generated 7-figs with under 7k leads MULTIPLE TIMES
↳ Small, engaged audiences outperform massive cold ones
3. AI isn’t about creating more content that blends in
↳ It’s about following up better than everyone else
While everyone else is focused on posting...
Smart businesses are building automated conversion engines that work 24/7.
A brand new era upon us...
Mark my words on this.
The advantage goes to those who automate their follow-up, not those who create more content.
Automation and systems are how big businesses gain leverage.
AI just enhances that efficiency even further.
Are you in or out?

I rarely share what's working, but these shifts are game-changing:

4. Growth Mindset → Quarter-focused learning → Cross-industry inspiration → Open to new concepts
5. Team & Network → Weekly gratitude practice → Building evergreen assets → Growing meaningful connections

Focus beats hustle.
Systems beat perfect.
Data beats guessing.
Most chase new strategies.
