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...
... and you think, well yeah, that's easy for you cause you've got... ... an established audience... 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...
... 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, Pete "might embarrass myself here" Boyle |

I’m starting the outreach for a new business venture today. Most people at this stage do the 'tactical' thing... They buy a list Hire a virtual assistant to spam LinkedIn asking for a call or promoting the offer And hope for a 1% reply rate. A huge waste of capital and time. With the new venture, I've spent the last week building out the architecture behind the offer. I’ve been mapping the 'Thread' that connects the first touchpoint to the final contract. Most businesses, even those doing...
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...
