Easy wins

If the growth strategy for your business is to simply "get new leads", I want you to think about this. Cause there's likely an easy 5+ figures in your biz you're overlooking. This weekend, I'm heading to a nice little local restaurant with the Mrs for a Valentine's Day dinner. The restaurant's in a really weird place. It's on a side street that gets little foot traffic. The side of the road it's on has barely any sidewalk (it's about 1-foot across). And the entrance is just a door in an otherwise nondescript wall. I actually walked past this place for years without actually knowing anything was there. I only checked it out after a local mate told me about it. This friend goes there every 3 months or so. Her friends go every few months. And now, we go every few months. Between us all, we've spent thousands there. They keep us coming back, and we keep on giving them money. I had a quick look and apparently about 60% of restaurant revenue is from repeat customers. Restaurants who focus on re-engaging and upselling customers are gonna be more profitable than the "one and done" places. Which is all a long way of saying, are you missing out on revenue that's already in your business. Have you takent eh one and done approach, or could you be closing more deals from information you already have. I put a quick video together on it all here, but here's the short version. Look, if you've been in biz for any amount of time you likely have...
... and within each of these segments there's a fair few people who either haven't bought, have bought once, or left but are primed to come back. The easiest win for your business is to target these people with something that brings them back into the fold. Hit them with a good offer and the right system, and it could add another 5 or 6-figures to your revenue this year. Get that right, then you can add more traffic to that new offer and system for greater gains. Like I said, you can view a quick 10-minute video on this here. My recommendation to you? Look at...
And ask if there's something you can do to help them which can form a new product OR be a slight shift of an existing product. Good luck! Pete "hidden revenue finder" Boyle |

If we were to sit down and go through all the things I've done right in my career, and then all the things I've done wrong... ... the time split would be like a 10/90 split. I've failed so much more than succeeded over the years. They're good teaching moments. But, one of the more dangerous things in business isn’t choosing the wrong tactic. It’s committing to it. Once you’ve got buy-in from yourself or your team, you want it to work. So you keep pushing it longer than you should. Case in...
A big name marketer shared the results of a study he did last week on how brands are marketing in 2026. Long story short, most of them are... Cutting ad spend Cutting content/online PR Removing agencies ... all because the lead quality is trash. It went on to explain how people are moving back to in-person marketing and the established methods are dying off. Which ain't exactly true. Look, brands are cutting spend. And yeah, I agree that in-person stuff - or at least non AI stuff - is gonna...
Busy, but not productive, has sadly become one of my most commonly used phrases. I'm seeing this more and more in the business I help. Action being taken, campaigns being spun up, and tactics being OK's simply because it's easier than ever to get them going. I mean, with AI, all it takes is a few clicks to... Post more content Launch more ads Send more emails Spin up more offers And that’s kinda the problem. Most businesses I see aren’t short on activity. You could argue they're drowning in...
