From chasing to being chased


I was chatting to an old friend the other day about how marketing's changed.

Back in the day, we both did pretty damn well from the established method of...

  • Free content
  • Free lead magnet
  • Simple nurture
  • Make a sale

But, times have changed.

If you're still using this approach, you'll likely have seen big shifts like...

... the work it takes to convert one lead into a customer is exponentially harder...
... the cost of converting those leads is vastly higher...
... the competition is a lot fiercer...

The result is higher fees for fewer sales.

A lot of the time, it feels like you end up chasing leads and begging them to hire you.

if you take a second to look at the changes, you'll come to the same conclusion as I have.

This is only going to get worse as time goes by.

And if you're still operating on the old approaches for growth, you're going to see fewer results with every passing week in 2025.

Now's the time to change.

If you're not sure what the changes you need to make are or how you should be thinking about growth for this year, join me on Friday.

I'm running a free webinar where I'm talking about the big shifts you need to know about to succeed in 2025.

I'll also be explaining the system you need to be implementing in your biz to minimise risk, enable scale, and unlock more profit.

These shifts help you go from playing a game of chasing leads to get any business you can, to having your best leads come to you and WANT to pay you money.

If you want to join us, check out the registration page here.

See you on Friday.

This week, I’ve talked a lot about offers. And if you’ve been paying attention, some of it might feel contradictory. ... On one hand, I’ve said the most powerful businesses aren’t reliant on you for delivery. ... On the other, I’ve said building something truly scalable from day one is expensive, risky, and unrealistic for most people. Both are true. Ideas like Zero to One, building something entirely new, can work. But they usually require serious capital, long runways, and a tolerance for...

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...
