I met Eric back in October of 2023. We met in the DMs on Twitter and at the time, he was in a spot that might sound familiar…
He was working a 9-5 job as a financial advisor doing the exact same things ever day and was:
Burnt out
Ready for something different
Knew he was capable of more in his life
He had been dabbling with writing online and attempting to build a personal brand to escape. But he was doing it alone… no resources, no tools, no guidance.
After going at it alone for almost 9 months, he was ready to throw the towel.
I offered to help him and meet with him weekly, as well as gave him a list of action items to make sure he did everything to be successful in building his brand.
Literally 2 weeks into helping Eric with his personal brand and providing some guidance, he landed his first client at $3k per month for newsletter writing services.
A month into working with him, he quit his 9-5 job and never looked back.
Today, Eric runs a 6-figure email marketing and newsletter agency and I’m lucky to have played a part in his success.
Here’s what made my experience working with Eric a success:
He went all in: I was able to pinpoint with Eric what made him unique and what he wanted out of life. Once he decided on his path forward, he went all in and put in the work to be successful. He burned the boats and stopped playing it safe.
He got feedback and support in real-time: Instead of going it alone, Eric had access to me. I’ve been exactly where he was and was able to offer guidance and feedback. He learned from his mistakes, applied my advice, and avoided wasting time on strategies that wouldn’t work.
He took action: Instead of wondering if something would work, he took action and tried new things at a rapid pace. That was my advice and it helped me to be where I’m at today.
Why share all of this?
Because in The Growth Network, this is the exact kind of relationship you’ll have with me and our other experts on a daily basis.
I’m launching this community so I can have the same impact with hundreds of you as I did with Eric.
And I’m beyond excited for it…
