crazy story of man who built his business in a recession


Yesterday I had a call with one of the most successful people I've gotten to know over the last few years.

He's had numerous businesses and clients like Heineken and O2.

And today he's financially free and planning to buy houses for each of his daughters so they'll always have somewhere to live when they grow up.

He told my a wild story of when he started a restaurant in Ireland.

It was right in the middle of the financial crisis in 2008.

There was this quiet relatively unknown street without much going for it where he wanted to build it.

Everyone told him he was crazy.

People's business were going bankrupt left right and centre and everyone, even the wealthy was losing money.

But he had a vision and decided to ignore the crowd.

A few years later...

The restaurant was voted one of the best in Ireland.

The street it was built on was later voted one of the 'coolest' in the world.

And he had customers who would come 3 times a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

He told me one of the keys to his success was belief.

"People don't believe in what they can achieve."

Nothing happens without belief.

Whether it's building a business. Becoming financial free. Or buying a peanut butter factory so you never run out.

This was one of many stories and lessons he shared with me on the call.

And it made me realise something.

All it takes is a call with someone who's achieved things you want to do, to change how you view the world.

The closer you get to the right people.

The closer you get to your goals.

Which is why on top of the workshops and Q+As we host inside the Growth Army community.

Yesterday I was lucky enough to call a paid ads guy at a Fortune 100 company. His small team spends $100,000,000+ a year on ads.

“Sell every day in every single email.” If you're growing your list with social media content, this advice is broken. Let me explain why… This advice is pushed by the world’s greatest email marketers for good reason. Emails are free to send, so if you want to make maximum money... Sell your offer in emails everyday right? Right?? Well... This works fine if you don't just use social media to grow your list, i.e. paid ads, list swaps, SEO blogs, etc. Over time... Everyone who doesn’t want to...

A follower recently asked me: “How do I get client experience as a complete beginner.” I was a complete beginner last year AND have just taken over paid ad campaigns for a client as a complete beginner. So I know I have the answer you’re looking for. The secret lies in a principle taught to me in a small private masterclass with Ben Settle, the King of email of marketing. I call it: “Turn trash, into cash.” Let me explain… I’m a paid ads noob. I have just as much experience pole dancing as I...
