How I Got Here
A lot of times people tell me that I always just talk about my clients and specific tactics, and they would love to know more about my background and how I ended up here.
If you are one of those people, this email is perfect for you.
If you have zero interest in my background, go watch this video about paid ads (link).
How I Got Here
Studied hard at school trying to get into law degree at top school
Missed the required grade by 0.3% (rip)
Went into a longer pathway to get into the same school, dropped out after 6 months to do a gap year
Gave myself 6 months to make money online before going back to uni
Got my first client in 2 weeks, then decided to sales instead. Was never going back to uni at this point. I already had sales experience so it was pretty easy.
Eventually got sick of working sales job and started ‘growth agency’ where I would help clients with content, ads, outreach. Started making content pretty consistently at this point.
Scaled to 50k/mo in a few months and ended up reaching 80k/mo in revenue after about 6-7 months.
Was consistently adding 50-100k/mo to clients businesses and ended up just wanting to focus on growth for one company so I hit multiple M’s. I was spread a bit too thin and would rather hone in on one funnel.
Met Matt Larsen at mastermind event
Pitched him on partnering to build 1000xleads.com
Scaled to 240k months, worked with 300+ clients and added millions in rev for those clients
Lucky I didn’t get into the law degree.
For what’s next?
I will just be continuing to work closely with clients to help them make more money.
That is what I love, that is what I will keep doing, and I would do it for free if I had to.
Talk soon.
