What if you had to start from absolute zero?


You ever see those people who've been in the game for a decade plus saying stuff like...

  • You've just gotta do this simple thing...
  • It's easy when you do this...
  • Do this to make money...

... and you think, well yeah, that's easy for you cause you've got...

... an established audience...
... major reputation...
... loadsa cash...

A lot of the time, when someone starts to see success, they start to forget what it was like to grow something from scratch.

How to get something from 0-1 with limited budget and without a reputation to leverage.

What would doing that look like in 2025?

Well, I'm planning on finding out.

I've set myself a fun little challenge to create a new offer in an industry where I have...

  • Zero reputation
  • Zero established audience
  • Zero pre-created products/offers
  • Only $500 to spend as the initial launch budget

... and I'm seeing how long it will take me to turn a profit with this.

I've put all the details of the challenge together here for you to look into.

In short, I'll be sharing what I'm doing and how it's working with you here, through email.

And I'll be sharing all of the tools, templates, systems, and frameworks with all the folk in GM+.

Check out the page above and, if you've got Qs, hit reply an d let me know.

Let's see if I can grow a brand new offer with only $500 to spend.

Speak soon,

Most people overcomplicate it. They think building a Custom GPT means messing around with APIs, coding, or some mad tech stack. But in reality? There are only three things you need to create a GPT that prints cash and saves you hours and can even be sold to bring in buyers. Those are.. A template or asset you already use (e.g. an ad, script, plan, framework) A process for how you normally use it A ChatGPT Plus account ($20/month) That’s it. If you’ve already got those first two (and most...

Most people don’t need another template. They need a shortcut. Not another PDF with 12 steps they won’t follow. A tool that does the job for them. That’s what AI agents are. They’re not content. They’re interactive assets. They replace the downloads, checklists, and PDFs that used to sit at the front of your funnel... and they actually get used. Here’s what I mean: → Instead of a “Perfect Cold Email Template”... …create an AI agent that asks 5 questions and writes the email for them (I've...

Just did a count this morning… In the last 18 months, I’ve built 44 Custom GPTs. Custom bots that handle entire jobs for me... faster, easier, and more profitably. Here are 3 I use all the time: Customer Research GPTFeed it reviews from your competitors. It pulls pain points, benefits, and tells you how to stand out. Ad Copy GPTAnswer 5 questions. Get ads in my proven formats. (My current ads get a 4% CTR, which is better than 90% of advertisers.) Sales Sequence GPTInput your offer. It writes...
