A former college dropout built seven-figure marketing agencies by obsessing over backend systems and automation. He spent years finding the right sales partner, and their combination hit a million-dollar month within two to three years. His lesson: scale comes from complementary skills, not doing everything yourself.
Ever wonder how a 19-year-old dropout engineering student in college went on to build a marketing empire with multiple companies hitting a 7-figure run rate and 2 actually hitting multi-8-figure run rates? So that is me. Over the last 10 years, I have built multiple marketing agencies up to 7 and 8-figure run rates, and I'm gonna tell you exactly how I did that. So I am a backend person. I'm a systems individual. So for me, I get a lot of fulfillment out of automations, systems, putting pieces together. So that's gonna allow you to scale. I did not have the sales background, so I had to go find somebody that was good at sales. And this was a process. It probably took me about 3 to 4 years to actually partner with different individuals, and obviously it didn't work for that amount of time. And then eventually I found one individual it clicked with that he was just a, a G at sales. Me being able to scale the backend so quickly and so efficiently, him being able to scale the sales side so efficiently and so quickly allowed us to really just kind of boom. In 2 to 3 years of working together, we actually hit our first million-dollar month.
