Become a support act


Yo!

Ever been to a concert?

I saw this crazy take online the other day about paying out to see a band.

The poster said they hate support acts.

Their argument was that they’ve paid to see the main band and don’t care about the support acts.

They were, rightly, flamed in the comments for this BS take.

You see, concerts aren’t just where the main musicians earn their money.

They’re also the path for newer bands to amass a following and a vital part of the wider music ecosystem.

It’s a simple system. And fi you know how it works, you can build this into your business to grow your own audience.

Here’s what I mean.

I accompanied my wife to a performance of one of her favourite bands recently.

She’d never heard of one of the support acts, but by the time their set had finished, she was following them on Spotify and streaming them the very next morning.

A single piece of exposure to a relevant audience helped this band get at least one (and likely hundreds or thousands) of new listeners and customers.

All without playing the exhausting social media game.

You can do the same thing to grow your audience with your business. People have been doing it for years through things like…

  • Joint venture partnerships
  • Guest blogging
  • Sponsorships

These are all a direct route to your ideal customers you can use to grow your audience without posting seventy-billion times per day.

You just need to know who to be the supporting act for, and how to lock it in.

This is one of the many ways you can grow a better audience without using social media.

Thursday the 25th, Adriana Tica is gonna run us through a couple more simple methods you can use to grow your audience without social.

So, if you want to add qualified buyers to your list in 2024, but you’re not sure on the best ways to be a “supporting act” right now, tune in on Thursday 25th.

All details are here

Yesterday I talked about what a bad offer does to your business — and to you. Today, I want to flip that and talk about what insanely profitable offers actually have in common. Because they’re not clever. And they’re definitely not built around hustle. In fact, I'd argue that... Great offers don’t rely on you as the facilitator. If the results depend on your personal effort, time, or constant involvement, you’ll hit a ceiling fast. You can do well like that. I know guys pulling around 7-figs...

Yesterday I said this year only really changes if the offer does. Today, I want to be blunt about what happens when the offer isn’t right. This isn’t theory. I’ve personally dragged dying offers way longer than I should have, burning time, money, and energy trying to force something that wasn’t working. When you're in that place, the offer doens't just hurt your business. It leaks into everything else. Within the business, it usually looks like this... ... You’re always “working on...

Welcome to the first full work week of 2026. If you’re coming into the year unhappy with how 2025 finished, or you’re like me and want this year to be materially better, this matters. This is the time of year when everyone is... ... buying a new planner... mapping out their “path to success”... deciding which actions are finally going to turn their life around. But when you actually look at what people plan, it’s almost always too small to create real change. I’m already seeing posts about...
