[#Ad] ATTN: You, young marketing professional...

⛔Stop chasing strategies, tactics, and the latest marketing ‘hack’ that will magically make everything work.

I want to share a secret with you. I’ve started multiple 7-figure businesses and worked with over 300 CEOs helping them do the same.

There is a BIG reason why +90% of all marketing engagements end in disappointment and failure.

The secret to a successful career in marketing isn’t about knowing the latest strategy, trick, or hack.

The secret to a long-term, meaningful, and highly compensated career in marketing is about understanding a simple framework.

If I were to show you the simple framework that solves the marketing puzzle and that 99% of all business NEED right now, so that you can use them to gain the confidence, knowledge, and skills to creating a meaningful impact on a company’s growth (plus the comp and respect to match)…

Would you take me up on that offer?

Leap to the front of the line TODAY.

GROWTH INSIGHTS | A Signal for Change

Struggling with growth?

I am lately. Then I heard this quote:

"What got you here won't get you there."

And it hit me like a ton of bricks Will Smith's palm: it's time for Growth Currency⚡ to change & evolve.

But change is hard. I like easy.

There's a paradox with doing "easy": Life is actually HARDER when you take the easy road.

It's easier on the surface—but deep down you know you didn't push yourself.

You know you didn't do what you could have for a better future. That'll eat away at you. Easy doesn't beget success.

So why am I rambling about this?

Because it's time for a change.

Introducing Growth Currency⚡v2.0

This newsletter's focused on helping creators "grow" during the past 14 months.

Now—I'm narrowing the focus: Growth Currency⚡ helps creators grow successful newsletters.

Here's how.

Each week I'll share…

→ Lessons: a first-hand experience & learning on newsletter growth + monetization
→ Links: carefully curated resources to help YOU create + market + promote a newsletter (many resources I share already do this)
→ Access: 1st to hear about upcoming workshops, events, deals, etc

You'll also still get:

→ tools & tips to help with creating + promoting
→ articles on effective writing—a poorly written newsletter is an unread newsletter.
→ strategies to build an audience and ultimately a subscriber base

"Is this newsletter still for me?"

→ Want to start a newsletter? Then 100%! 💪
→ Already writing one and trying to grow + monetize it? Then 500%! 🚀
→ Just want to hear from me weekly regardless? Then 1000% 😃

GC⚡ will be the resource to help you to start a newsletter, push you to continue, and celebrate your success!

I'm really excited for this focus—and I hope you are too!

If this new direction doesn't compel you, I completely understand and won't be offended if you decide to unsubscribe.

Onward!
