SELL MORE FUNNELS
GET DAILY SALES AND REVENUE TACTICS SENT STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX
How I get inspired
I’m finding more and more with each day that where I find inspiration is by giving myself space and freedom to think. So I’ve started booking a 45-minute session every single day where I’m not distracted by any screens, cameras, or any of that kind of shit. And all I do is talk for about…
Read MoreThe 80/20 principle
Pareto’s Principle or the 80/20 rule states that 80% of your results come from 20% of your work. And we also know that to be true for customers. I know that 80% of our revenue comes from roughly 20% of our customer base. What I tend to spend most of my time doing, is thinking.…
Read MoreThree things that people need to know before working with me
I think the three things that people need to know about me before working with me is that number one, I’m not here to be your friend. I am here to listen to you, to laugh with you, to have a good time with you. But ultimately, I’m going to be honest with you and…
Read MoreYou don’t need funding
You don’t need funding. What you need is speed of implementation. And above all else, you need client acquisition. Yes, there are some business models that work by taking on an enormous amount of funding, developing a cool piece of technology, and hoping that one of the big companies buys you out. But most businesses…
Read MoreWhen I started to feel like an expert
I don’t really think I’ve ever truly felt like an expert. I think part of the problem is like the Dunning-Kruger effect or imposter syndrome. The more I learn about marketing and sales and automation and copywriting and running a business, the more I realize, I don’t know. What I’m finding is that for every…
Read MoreHow my business started
How my entire business and my income, my freedom, the sales, and everything else, came to be. I became tired of running my agency and a friend of mine, basically bought the company and I moved into a strategic role. Then I left that media company. I thought, “What’s the number one thing that I…
Read MoreHow I structure my day to capitalise on my peak energy spots
Here’s how I structure my day to capitalise on peak energy levels. I’m a morning person. I’ve got energy at 5:30 in the morning, and I’m ready to go most days. What I tend to find is after I get home from exercise and health and working out and whatever, I’ll make sure I have…
Read MoreThis weird thing improved my business
Let’s talk about three odd things that have improved my business. First of all, working out in the morning. Waking up at five or 5:30, heading straight downstairs or to my gym, and doing 90 minutes to two hours’ worth of exercise. That has massively improved my business. Even though I might feel exhausted, I…
Read MoreHow I put my clients first
Putting clients first for me just means being there when they need you. We have standard operating terms and we have contracts and terms of service. But if a customer approaches me and says, “Mike, I’ve got a problem with insurance” or “I’m really feeling overwhelmed with this new hire”… If it’s outside the scope…
Read MoreWhat “enjoying” the process did for my life and business
Enjoying the process means embracing the suck. I know that most of the tasks that I have laid out in order to grow my business aren’t particularly enjoyable. But when I made the conscious decision to lean in and start embracing the fact that it’s uncomfortable (and I’m getting things wrong and I’m not enjoying…
Read MoreLeading from weakness and failure
Being a great leader and showing leadership has less to do with charging from the front or being a strategic genius in the background. And more to do with being the most open, the most vulnerable, and most relatable person on your team. Back in the “Dark Ages” there was a King in Northern England. …
Read MoreWrite a KILLER case study
When Chris first started working with us, he was DROWNING in work. His problem was not getting more leads or clients. If anything, he had way too MANY clients. The problem was that he was servicing them all and managing a team at the same time. He was a victim of his own success. Or–…
Read MoreI only work 3 hours a day
At my wedding, my best man read a poem which had a very specific joke in it. And that joke became a common theme throughout the wedding. And that same joke is texted to me about once a week from some guys at my office. And my gym. And from my brother. Because earlier this…
Read MoreDealing with overwhelm
There are times when I sit at my desk and I feel absolutely, totally, overwhelmed. I feel like I have 100 things to do on my list, and I also feel that even if I got those checked off, I’d still be behind. My personal feelings of overwhelm can be broken down into 3 core…
Read MoreAre you creating or consuming?
I’ve noticed that I’m 100x more understanding of someone’s mistakes when I have also made that same mistake. Funny that, isn’t it? We’re all so judgemental of the small business owner who misses an email. Or the parent who gives their kid formula milk. Something I’ve noticed is that I became far less judgemental of…
Read MoreI was wrong about Clickfunnels
Previously when I’ve spoken about Clickfunnels, and my aversion to using them, it was based around 2 core ideas. Now the sheer AUDACITY of saying I don’t like all my eggs in one basket, when I now heavily promote HighLevel, might seem like politician level hypocrisy. And yes, to some extent, it is. But there’s…
Read MoreDon’t be unique or creative
There are three main ways that I measure the success of my work. Number 3 is kind of a vanity metric, because of course views don’t always turn into revenue. But in my case, they can do because I make money from YouTube ads and I know that views on my YouTube content often convert…
Read MoreOne bad hire can ruin the work of 10 great hires
I’m extremely lucky in my business. As of the time of writing, I have three absolute rock stars in my team. Admin, support, graphics, updates, editing, content…they’re phenomenal at what they do. And the three of us are doing MORE this year than when we had a team of EIGHT doing more work. You see…
Read MoreIf you want a strong niche, stop listening to feedback
Something I’ve noticed more and more recently is my desire to dig deep into my community and niche and figure out what I can do to help them more. The more people who join YouTube and create content for agencies (and there are dozens of them), the more I realise how important it is to…
