Why I only made £2.4K in 8 months
Avoid making this one mistake...

I made £2.4K in my first 8 months of business...
It wasn’t that I wasn’t working hard.
I spent long days, doing my best to get clients and keep them.
In fact, I packed on a few pounds from the 15-hour workdays. 🍔
Takeaway dinners every night, etc.
I’d hustle to find a client.
Get them onboard.
Then stop outreach because I had to service the client.
Guess what?
I’d lose the client.
And the cycle would start again.
Sounds like a joke, right?
But I bet you know exactly what I mean.
Take a look at this visual I whipped up to give you an idea of the madness I was dealing with.

Then something wild happened.
I decided to invest in myself.
I paid money to learn from people who were already where I wanted to be — six figures a month...
Living the dream.
Sounds dodgy, doesn’t it?
I used to think the same.
But I gave it a go, and here's what I learned.
The best business owners don’t let their business run them.
They let their business work for them.
They use systems and leverage other people’s time to see big returns.
So, I built a marketing system that worked while I wasn’t.
The result?
We made £14K in the next 3 months.
That's a 500% increase over my last 8 months of grinding.
The best return on investment I’ve ever made.
So I doubled down, invested more, and now?
I can proudly say that I own a business that makes 6 figures in profit every year...
And I don’t have to be there 24/7.
Now, I’m sure you’re thinking “that’s too good to be true.”
But here’s a thought from John D. Rockefeller.
“I would rather earn 1% off 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts.”
So, where do you stand?
Are you a business owner or is your business owning you?
If you’re stuck in the second category.
And want to make the leap to the first.
I’m inviting you to book a call with my team and I.
We’ll create a roadmap to get you there.
And the best part?
If we don’t deliver, you don’t pay.
No pressure.
Signing out,
Joe
