In 2017 I was hired as the COO of a start up agency. I had ZERO experience as an operator, I couldn't even tell you what an SOP was. Three years of self study and mentorship allowed our team to scale to 30+ employees, multi-7 figures in revenue, and a successful exit of that

You get to chose your priority. The point of this post isn't to get you to skip on your uber eats. The point is when you use language like: . "I can't". or. "I need". What trade off did you make to not allow you to do what you really want. Food for thought.

Think marketing’s just about selling stuff? You’re missing the big picture. Real marketing isn’t just about what you’re pushing—it’s about what you’re building:.➝ The stories that hook people in.➝ The value that makes them stick around.➝ The problems you solve that keep them.

I’ve generated (millions of revenue for easy manipulated group of people). Comment “this”. And get my thing for free. People believe anything without proof.

If there was a stock for UK agencies like the S&P 500, I’d buy the shit out of it.

Listen, I was nervous about this event. We invested about $70k into this with zero guarantee it would have an ROI. It made my stomach turn for about two months straight. Here's my post mortem:. What we crushed:.➝ Speakers: I've never been to an event with this many tactical

Just got to London for our Hydra Council event. This shit is so hard. Seriously. Three years ago, Hydra was just me—freelancing, grinding, and hustling to find my first clients. No team, no name. Just relentless effort, day in and day out. Now? . We’re hosting a sold-out

Comfort Kills Growth. Here’s the ugly truth about entrepreneurship: the moment you get comfortable, you stop growing. I’ve seen it happen a million times. You hit some early wins, stack up a few clients, maybe even buy something nice. Suddenly, you’re not as hungry anymore.

Follow-ups don’t make you needy—they make you money. (If you do them right). Most people think sales happen in the first conversation. Spoiler: they don’t. Deals get closed in the follow-up, yet it’s one of the most neglected parts of business. So, if you’re not following.

Most business owners think "more" is the solution to everything—more clients, more hires, more hours. But here's the dirty secret… Less is usually the answer. We’ve all been there. ➝ Chasing more clients.➝ Growing a bigger team.➝ Cramming in more tasks. Most think this is.

“I need to think about it.”. The sales-killer phrase you’ve probably heard hundreds of times. It’s not new. It’s not clever. Yet, somehow, this simple five-word sentence is enough to make even the best sales professionals crumble. Let’s be real for a second: If you’re
