How he went from $0 to $10k month in 17 days with his agency

Eric Kavelaars talks with a mentee about scaling an agency to $10k monthly revenue in 17 days. They discuss how community and environment drive rapid growth, and cover upcoming events for entrepreneurs building agencies.
Alright guys, so we're currently in the Greece mansion in a random island right now. It's absolute crazy time and I have a very, very important video for you guys today. So this is one of my very, very good mentees, one of my clients in sma. So we've actually been working together for a few months now but a bunch of stuff happened. We actually scaled a previous agency in the cairo niche to 10k per month pretty fast. I think it was in the first month and a half, something like that. And then after that we. Bunch of stuff happened. Business partner kind of some stuff happened was health and we actually started a brand new agency in the roofing niche and then we literally started August 3rd, 2024 and on Stripe I'll let you show you guys right now. He's actually gonna walk up a computer show you guys. We literally went from 0 to 10k per month in like I bought the.
Course anyways because I knew like no matter what I had to scale is the only thing I actually wanted to do. So if you're not serious about it though, don't look like it's not going to work if you're not serious. But if you are serious you are actually going to progress with Eric. It's like completely insane. Or for any mentorship for that matter.
Yeah, literally any mentorship. Yeah, yeah.
So it's.
Yeah, it's completely insane. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And also I feel like you've benefited a lot just from actually being here in Greece. We could talk more about this now. Like you were learning a lot of like okay, online stuff is like it's great to learn like on calls and venture calls and other stuff but like when you actually go in person and interact with guys it's so better. So better like 5x your income. Like they're already like there's other guys doing over 50k a month actually it's a guest speaker doing 1 million per month in this crazy. And you guys are just interacting with them like yeah, it's just the opportunity that is absolutely crazy. So. And I feel like just even surround yourself with those type of guys will just explode your income.
Yeah, no it does. Like my mindset has shifted. Like the first moment I woke up here I'm like I actually thought I was in a dream for like a couple minutes. I was like there's no way this is fucking real. And then it's so much better in person because if someone knows what they're doing in let's say service delivery or sales or outbound. Yeah, you can literally just ask them. They'll give you that answer to you in your golden. Yeah, if you're at home, you're, you know, you're gonna have to ask them. Maybe they're gonna reply, you have to.
Get on a call.
It's a whole whatever.
Yeah.
But here you can just ask them. And there's so much value all around. There's people talking all the time. Like, yeah, like earlier I was walking through the house and everybody was just like on the phone, like battling. I was like, this is so sick.
Like, yeah, everyone just grinding, like just straight to work. So. Yeah.
One, one thing for certain though. If you're struggling with mindset at all or just making money, it's definitely your environment is one of the key things. I change my environment instantly. Instantly go to 10k per month. So yeah, that's a big, big kicker for just like scaling.
Yeah, completely.
And also getting the right info. Like, you know, you got actually got to get a mentor because if you, if you just take a course, that stuff is just, it's over you so many, so many times. But when you have a mentor that's one on one directly there to help you, it's just completely changing because they know actually all the relevant skills that are actually going to work other than old stuff.
So 100. Yeah, that's very true. I feel like a lot of guys, I mean, you join a course and we get too many results with it. Yeah, I have probably dozens or at least a dozen or probably multiple dozen mentees right now who have also been in courses for, you know, 612 months. Barely get any results in the first, you know, few or the first like year of doing it. And then after they join the mentorship, the first, you know, few weeks or months, whatever it is, of, of joining, they get insane results. Like Zeke or I could name all dozens of other guys right now. But, but yeah, I think it's been a really fun cloud though. We're having a great time. We're gonna yacht today. I mean, it's a pretty fun time. Pretty. Yeah. Yeah. So that was, that was, that was really cool. But what's kind of like your overall thoughts of the, the mentorship compared to, you know, standard courses you've, you know, joined? Yeah, of course.
It's, it's just, it's so much like such a much better community. So first off, like, you go into courses on school or whatever and it's just all the. First off, all the content old. And then second, the community is just like so big and it's not like it's almost too big where you can't connect with people.
Yeah.
And that's.
That's learn as well. So, so important because it is. Yeah. I've mentioned this previous on other videos as well, but like, if someone is doing, let's say 100 cold calls a day compared to someone that's doing 2, 000 a day, they're literally doing 20x the input. Yeah, they're gonna get together 20 times faster. Like they're gonna hit 10k months in a week. You're gonna hit it in like 20 weeks or in a month versus 20 months, whatever it is. But like. Yeah, yeah, I think that's a major, major component. But besides that, I think kind of wrapping up here, like, what. What do you plan on? Where are next? I guess we're gonna go back. You guys go back Finland, right?
Yeah, Finland, two weeks. I'm already calling it. I'll be in Dubai in two weeks. Easy.
Yeah, yeah, easy. So. Yeah, that'd be fun. It's such a crazy feeling and. Yeah, well, definitely the climate street in Dubai is gonna be insane as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. But. But I don't know, what would you kind of say to last piece of advice to the listeners or kind of anything you kind of want to recap with, or what would you say to someone who's thinking of joining?
Yeah, yeah, I would say just. Just, you know, your mind's there because you obviously want to do this. And so it's almost like if you're. If you're thinking in this frequency anyways, even in today's world, it's already telling you something that you actually got to do it and it's gonna work. You have to take the first step and take action for sure. Like, I mean, I could have easily quit, like so many times. And it's just like, I'm so glad I didn't quit. Like, there's so many times I couldn't quit, like, so easy. But yeah, I mean, this is like.
So much worth it.
Like, I used to see these videos all the time online. So, like, that I was like, no way. That's real. And then like, now I'm here and I'm like, wow, it actually can become true. I just got to put in the work. And, you know, network's very important too.
Yes, very, very important. Super important. The mentorship. The SMA mentorship. Network is crazy. So got guys literally multiple, probably over 10 people right now. Like, I think actually maybe even closer to 20, probably 15 or so I'd say, like, literally living together right now in villas in Thailand, Europe, like, Dubai, like, literally all over the world. And they all just met each other through being a mentee of mine, so.
Exactly.
In the SMA network. So it's like. Yeah, it's just. It's crazy. So that's kind of it. I mean, I think. I think we're pretty much done here, but next video is gonna be crazy. So next, Cloud street in Dubai. It's gonna be absolutely wild. So I'm very excited for that. And I'll definitely see you there as well.
Yeah, for sure.
And I'll see you in Dubai as well, and I guess in a few weeks. Yeah, Straight. Straight. Oh, yeah. Let me just show the camera.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
You guys don't think we're bullshitting. Bring the mic over.
All right, so here you can see it's. Yeah, about two weeks there, and then. Yeah, you can actually see it's. It's pretty. Pretty real.
Yeah. Yeah. So this is, like, literally started, like, August 3rd. As you guys can see, there's literally no other payments. Actually, there's this tiny one payment that was just a deposit from his old agency because he didn't have this new stripe. But. But, yeah, like, literally crazy shit. So I think that's it to the video was honestly a very solid one. Hopefully this actually gets us. But. Yeah, go for dinner now and I'll see you guys in the next one.
Real shit.
Yeah. Let's go.
Dude, that was actually fucking sick.
Yeah, that was really sick.
