Ditch the Elevator Pitch, Try This Instead
So, I was at this swanky business event a while ago, sipping on something I can’t pronounce. You know the drill: you’ve got your best business attire on, and you’re ready to network. That’s when I hear it, the most dreaded question at these events: “So, what do you do?” I looked him dead in…
Read MoreTime is Money? Nah, Value is Money.
In 2014, I was in a rut—burned out, overworked, and underpaid. I kept hustling, adding more hours, but my revenue was stuck, and I was exhausted. Then came the game-changing insight: I was valuing my time, not my expertise. I decided it was time for a major pivot. I began to focus solely on businesses…
Read MoreYou’re not a master at ANYTHING until…
You haven’t done anything enough UNTIL you know your numbers. Know Your Numbers. Back in 2019 I was looking at our sales and revenue and I was scratching my head. “What is happening? We’re doing emails, YouTube, Facebook, Insta, TikTok, webinars, podcasts, books, interviews but we STILL aren’t raking in the money!” I couldn’t figure…
Read MoreAre Your Excuses Masking Your Fears?
Why do we fabricate excuses when faced with daunting tasks? Here’s a tale of when a friend branded me a liar, not out of malice, but insight. I was stuck in a quagmire of excuses for not writing my next book. “I need more research,” “I don’t have the time,” “I’ve nothing new to write.”…

It may seem counterintuitive in the world of endless hustle, but let me share a story. A while ago, I took a leap. I switched my team and myself to a 4-day working week. Yes, you read it right. I was apprehensive at first like you probably are reading this. But guess what? It has…
Read MoreOvercoming conflict in the business
I used to dread my standing call at 11 am. It was with a sales guy who just…rubbed me the wrong way. He was brash, abrasive, cocky, and most of all, he made me feel bad about myself. He would constantly criticise the business and how I was running it. Despite being years younger than…
Read MoreDid I always know I’d be an entrepreneur?
Look, when I was at school (when I would turn up), running a business was something rich people did. It is not what normal people did. You don’t start a business Michael (I was Michael at school). Besides, what do you know about running a business? Your grades are pretty mediocre, you’re not that smart…
Read MoreThese people inspired me to start my business
I suppose the person who truly inspired me to start my business was the person who fired me from my job. I don’t harbour any ill will or bad feelings towards her. I clearly wasn’t right for the role, and frankly, I probably made her life difficult. But that manager, who told me I didn’t…
Read MoreImposter Syndrome
If there’s one thing I see time and time again with my clients. It’s imposter syndrome. “I can’t charge higher prices because my clients won’t go for it.” “I’m not good enough to close people that fast.” “That won’t work for me. I’m not like you.” It’s a mixture of a lack of self belief,…

Hey there, I'm Mike (:
Back in 2016 I decided that I was going to help as many funnel builders as I could, sell more marketing funnels for higher prices.
I've now helped thousands of funnel builders sell their services for higher prices, define a niche and scale their business.
I know that my team and I can help, so please don't hesitate to reach out.
Have courage, commit and take action.
