You're a bot if you can't hit $10k month within 3 months in SMMA

This is a YouTube video titled "You're a bot if you can't hit $10k month within 3 months in SMMA" created in February 2024. The content features Eric Kavelaars sharing his personal journey and strategies for rapidly scaling a social media marketing agency (SMMA) from zero to $10k per month within three months. He discusses mindset shifts, extreme dedication, networking, mentorship, and practical sales tactics. The video is primarily a monologue with some brief interjections from another speaker, focusing on entrepreneurial growth and success in SMMA.
All right, guys, so I actually found out how to win in smma. So I actually started my agency journey just over a year ago At $0, obviously just over a year ago. Dropped out of university, went all in and I essentially ended up in a Dubai penthouse. Just over a month ago we moved in there and now we actually flew to Cape Town a few weeks ago. We literally booked flights at midnight. We flew at like six in the morning on a random day. And now I don't even know what day of the week it is because I don't really believe in days of week anymore. But I think it's like a Friday, something like that. And essentially the only reason I'm actually able to do all this stuff is because of the stuff I'm actually going to talk in the video right now today. And if you guys don't watch the whole video and you don't understand the things we want to talk about in the video, you're never ever going to hit 10k per month in the first place. So pretty much going to show you guys all the stuff that I've learned along my journey that actually enabled me to do this stuff. More importantly, things that actually did at the start that actually scale so, so fast, right? Because I know too many guys who have been trying to scale so, so, so hard for years. I actually was talking to other guy about a few days ago and he made a post on the community I was in, right? And he said it took him two years to hit 10k month, right? And it only took me three months, right. Which was honestly pretty fast. So essentially I'm actually going to pretty much lay out all the sauce and that like literally allows me to do all the stuff, right? We're going to be going taking private jets on to safari. It's probably not going to work. Like when is going to go back to university and then now once I see the results, you know, live in Dubai, all this stuff, they obviously have changed their mind, right? And I also had multiple friends switch up on me as well. At the start I was at a dinner and one of them just called me out. It's like this is like when I was like only making a few K a month. It's like, oh, how much revenue doing Eric? Like a year like in front of everyone. And I just obviously didn't say anything. But then I saw him about a few months later after he saw all the, you know, Dubai stuff and now he's like, bro, I really appreciate, like, I really respect what you're doing. You're traveling a lot. Like I, I want to like you're really inspirational. And now it's like wow, you just switch up super, super hard. But I mean I'm not complaining. You can't really do much about it right now. The next thing, which also kind of ties into the delusion part is mainly just like about the four minute mile, right? Because I'm sure you guys know what the four minute mile is. Essentially a thing that happened where the four minute mile was not broken forever in let's say years. I actually don't know the exact time frame, but let's just say years. Now one person actually broke it and then the exact same week or a few days later, most people broke it again, right? So I was actually talking to a guy and on the commuters with and it said it took him 2 years to 10k months, right? I'm very, very confident in his mind he thought it was going to take him two years now. That's the reason it took him two years now. When I was first starting out, I literally was so delusional that I thought it was going to take me 30 days, right? But what is delusion? Like it's kind of hard to actually rate that when it comes to agency stuff, right? But the reason I was actually able to scale so fast was because I was so delusional, right? I fully thought it was going to take me 30 days. And even if it didn't take me 30 days because it took me like 90 days, that benefited me to be delusional because if I thought it was going to take me a year, I would have taken a year, right? Because at least for me when I was, you know, in, in school, like the university, like the Matrix, the prison camps, you guys already know. But I was literally like, I would, I would be that guy who would hand in the assignment exactly on the day it was due, right? I would take weeks and then just finish on the day was due. Exact same thing here, right? If you are going to tell yourself, okay, it's going to take me two years, it's only going to take you two years. All right. So the next thing is you guys actually have to go into an extreme, extreme nightmare mode, right? So when I was actually first starting out on September 1, 2022, it's now about February 2024, I went into probably one most extreme and craziest parts of my life, right? It wasn't actually, I guess it was kind of crazy, but I essentially cut off absolutely everyone. I didn't talk to anyone for Three months. I broke up with my long term girlfriend, I stopped talking to my friends, I deleted Instagram, I threw out any food that wasn't whole in the house. I went to the gym every day, I was meditating, I was doing cold plunges, I was swimming in the cold rivers, all that stuff. I was doing absolutely everything I could to kill off the old version of myself. Right? Because this is essentially a stage in your life where it's one time in your life where you completely kill off the old version of yourself and essentially transcend into this new person. Right? That's kind of the whole nightmare mode and what it all means to do, right? And once you do this, you're going to change your life forever, right? I would honestly recommend anyone or I would honestly recommend this to absolutely everyone who's doing sma, right? So for the first three to four months of your SMA journey, I want you guys to go into a nightmare mode. So after this three to four months, you're essentially probably going to hit 10k a month if you listen to stuff I say in the video. And then I want you to start traveling, but not travel alone. Travel with other entrepreneurs on the exact same path as you. Right? Because that's exactly what I did. I started travel with mixed setting and also Jordan at Fogel, who you guys might know as well. But from there we literally went to Portugal and then went to Greece. You guys already know the whole story. And then a bunch of other places, Colombia, Bali, Miami and then Dubai, Cape Town, Dubai again. And then. Yeah, that's, that's kind of the whole story, Right. We also went to Poland Ren in Dubai as well. But once you do this, you're essentially going to create a mastermind, right? A mastermind isn't really these online stuff. Mastermind is essentially a group of two or more individuals who create a third mind.
Right?
One plus one equals three in this case scenario, right? Because now I'm actually able to get access to Nick's network and also Jordan's network and they're also get, they're also going to get access to my network as well.
Right.
For example, I introduced William Brown to Jordan and Jordan literally made 50k in a single day just because of William Brown's advice.
Right.
This was actually months ago when we were in Portugal and Greece. Now William also made about 17k total because he one on one coaching plus mastermind upsell. And from that William Brown saw the value that I provide to him. So he actually decided to invite me onto his yacht in Dubai, which I Then met a bunch of other guys like Mike Thorson, CEO of Testosterone, Andrew Kirby, which I also met at dinner before that from Charlie Morgan. And from there I'm actually able to leverage that in my personal brand and also just ask them absolutely anything I want, right? Because now essentially I could just ask these guys who are doing few hundred k a month any question, right? That's so, so, so powerful. And from there you're just able to just scale extremely, extremely fast, right? I've already made a hundred K off one thing that Andrew Kirby told me just because I networked, right? It's very, very easy to do this. But I'm not going to talk too much about networking. I'm actually going to make another video about networking recently about Cape Town and Dubai stories, more recent ones. But one more thing I'm actually going to talk about here, and this is actually probably the most important part, is you guys have to realize that 10k month is literally the easiest thing on the planet to actually hit right now. This is coming from someone who's obviously doing a hundred K a month. And I know some guys are probably going to say, oh, you're at 100k month. You have no idea what it feels to be at zero or I do actually. I was there a year ago and now I know that 10k month is extremely easy. So if you guys think that 10k month is hard, it's essentially your subconscious is going to essentially able to manifest actions, habits, beliefs and thoughts in a way which will never even lead you to 10k months in the first place, right? Because if you guys think 10k month is easy, then your actions, beliefs, thoughts, all this stuff will manifest in a certain way which will actually able to bring you there extremely, extremely fast. Now another thing is actually you guys have to be hitting the volume, right? If you guys are just like, okay, I can do 20 cold calls today, you're probably not going to make it, right? 10k a month is actually relatively super, super easy when it comes to KPIs only. You only really need to do like 3,000 cold calls, let's say, right? Which is only 100 cold calls every single day for 30 days straight. That's honestly so light work. Because if you think about, right, okay, let's say you're selling a 2k offer and you need 5 clients at 10k month. Now in order to get 5 clients, you need to have, let's say even at a 10% close rate, let's say 50 sales calls on your calendar lined up, right? And let's say to get those 50 sales calls showed up, you need even, let's say, a 50% show up rate. Right? So you need 100 sales calls total, Right? Right. And in order to get 100 sales calls on your calendar, all you really need to do is let's say you have a 3.33% booking rate.
Right?
All you need to do now is literally just do 3,000 cold calls and you're there.
Right?
Okay. Back in the day, I had like a 10% booking rate.
Wow.
Which was crazy. Like, out of dial. So if I dial 100 numbers, I would just get 10 meetings. But honestly, that's main, main, main thing is just thinking that it's easy and just do the actual volume, right? My mentor literally told me to do 250 cold calls a day, and I was doing those.
Right.
Absolutely insane numbers. But it was honestly worth it. Now the last thing I need you guys to do is to get a mentor. Now, I'm gonna be honest. I am selling a mentorship program, A one, one mentorship. But if I did not have a mentor at the start, I would not even be close to where I am now. I know a lot of other YouTubers will kind of just try to trick their audience into thinking certain things to sell them something, but I'm being extremely honest here, right? Charlie had a mentor. Sam Ovens had a mentor. I had a mentor. Everyone that I knew who is successful had a mentor.
Everyone.
And they do have mentors right now because essentially when you have a mentor, you're able to like, quantum leap into their whole perspective and just ask them any single question you need all the time, Right? That's so, so powerful. Because I know so many guys in communities and courses I join. For example, I actually know one guy who I also mentored, and he was in for 12 months, right? And he was trying to scale so, so hard. And he actually scaled up to like 3k a month. He actually dropped down to 1k month. And then at the time that we joined, I started mentoring him. He was at 1k month, and then we got on call. I fixed a bunch of stuff, helped his mindset, made a few hires. I built out a bunch of systems. We did a lot, a lot of stuff. And then 13 days later, he hits 10k per month, right? So after being a course for an entire year, stuck at 1k per month, and then joins a mentorship program. Doesn't have to be, but it was me. And he is 10k a month, 13 days later, right? That's so, so so powerful because the course is good. It's just like a mentor will just tell you what you need to know in every single case scenario. So. And I've actually taken too many guys to like 10k, 20k, 30k month right now.
Right, right.
I actually have five mentees right now that are full time traveling, all doing 20k, 30k, 40k month.
Right.
Two guys in Morocco doing 15k month, one guy in Greece doing 40k month. You guys might know him. Joseph. One guy in Colombia doing 20k month and also one guy in Mexico doing 30k months.
Right.
Absolutely insane. And also some are actually going to fly out to Cape Town here to see me as well, which is honestly pretty cool. But yeah, that's essentially it. If you guys do want to join, just DM me on Instagram at Eric or and I will see you guys very, very soon. Appreciate you guys. Hope you guys enjoyed the video and I'll see some of you guys are in Cape Town also. Message me if anyone's here. I'd love to meet as well. But yeah, take care guys and I'll see you soon.
