Do less - get more??


Yo!

When I was younger in my career, I thought I needed to be dominating as many channels and strategies with marketing as possible.

I was trying to...

  • Do cold outreach and sell over the phone
  • Implement a complete SEO strategy to bag all that organic goodness
  • Build a robust LinkedIn presence so people knew the name
  • Lock in partnerships with big players for that lovely little sales boost
  • Try to run some FB ads to eke out some results.

And a couple of other things on top.

You know what the result was?

There wasn't any meaningful results.

And sadly, when I started to see results through one approach, I didn't double down as I should cause I didn't wanna let the rest of it all go.

Over the years though, I noticed something when speaking to and working with some successful folks.

You don't need to do all the things to find success.

Want some proof. How's this?

These are real, 7-figure entrepreneurs I've spoken to...

  • One has exactly 5 pages indexed by Google but pulls just under $100K /month. Every lead comes to them from Twitter.
  • One only uses FB ads as it not known by the wider marketing world and makes $2.4M / year
  • One runs a handful of organic content sites on which you'll not find their name at all.But their organic traffic is huge.

Each of these people (and plenty of others) found one channel and approach they could do consistently and worked at it to get results.

They put the blinders on and worked to get the most out of that strategy.

This is, without fail, the best way to grow your business.

It;s not about doing more, it's about doing less, but better.

You just need to find...

  1. The approach you can be consistent at
  2. The approach you enjoy actioning
  3. A system that helps you get compounding gains from that approach

Find that, and you're set.

If you've had some traction and really want to scale your biz over th e next 6 months, but you're not sure on how to find the approach and system to do so, hit reply and let me know.

I'm looking for a couple of people to run through a 12 week program to set up a profitable ACCER model.

If you want to set up a system that helps you grow like the peeps above, let me know and we'll get it moving.

I’m curious... What AI are you actually using? Or are you just "collecting" subscriptions? We’ve been debating this in GM+ lately because, frankly, the shine has worn off OpenAI for me. To give you some context, I’ve been an OpenAI power user since the start. But the 5.2 release? It’s woeful. I spend more time arguing with the "Custom GPTs" than I do getting actual work done. I guess they told it to stop being so sycophantic, now it's like a petulant little kid who doesn't like when you tell...

Yo! Quick one today. Curious about the one thing you’re stuck on right now when it comes to growth? Not tactics like running an ad, but the actual problem that’s slowing things down. I’m doing a bit of free thinking this week and replying personally. If you’re clear, just reply and tell me... ... what you’re trying to scale... what’s not working... what you’ve already tried... what you want to achieve No pitch on the back end of this. This just helps me see patterns and build the right stuff....

Yo, Quick heads up before I wrap up this instance of HVO. High Value Offers closes tonight. And I want to be clear about what this decision actually is. This isn’t about buying a course. It’s about whether you keep guessing. Because if nothing changes, here’s what probably happens... ... You come up with another idea.... You talk yourself into it.... You spend weeks building.... You launch. And then you’re right back where you are now, trying to work out why it didn’t land. Not because you’re...
