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,

Yo! Everyone's about to hit emailing hard this week with BFCM promos. I actually know a few folk who have already completed their sales promos for the year. They keep bringing it forward. I wonder if we'll ever get to the point of a Black Friday sale in like May. Anyway, I'm considering whether or not to run a BFCM sale myself. But before I switch into full promo mode, I wanted to give you a quick heads-up. If you want my help to scale properly in 2026, with a predictable system, daily...

Quick one for you this morning while I shoot off to the farmers market. A lot of people think their funnel or offer is broken. Most of the time, it’s not. They’re just aiming it at the wrong people. When your ICP is even slightly off, everything feels unpredictable: wrong buyers vague messaging low-ticket that never ascends high-ticket that feels impossible to sell Good news is it's a reasonably easy fix. If you get crystal clear on who this is for, the restof the messaging woes become easy...

I was chatting with a client the other day about tweaking their front-end offers. They know I’ve been running a lot of AI-based front-end tests, so they asked what’s working and what’s not so we could improve their system. (If you want similar help, hit reply, I’m taking on a few people at the minute.) Here’s what I told him… Yes, AI-based offers sell. If the positioning is right, they sell very well. But if you set them up wrong, you leave a tonne of money on the table. Let me show you. I...
