Ditch the Elevator Pitch, Try This Instead

By Mike Killen / January 16, 2024

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…

Time is Money? Nah, Value is Money. 

By Mike Killen / January 15, 2024

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…

You’re not a master at ANYTHING until…

By Mike Killen / January 12, 2024

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…

Are Your Excuses Masking Your Fears?

By Mike Killen / December 22, 2023

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.”…

Ditch the 5-Day Grind for Smiles & Profits

By Mike Killen / December 21, 2023

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…

Overcoming conflict in the business

By Mike Killen / December 18, 2023

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…

Did I always know I’d be an entrepreneur?

By Mike Killen / December 15, 2023

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…

These people inspired me to start my business

By Mike Killen / December 13, 2023

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…

Imposter Syndrome

By Mike Killen / December 12, 2023

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,…

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.
