Jake Setterlun built seven and eight-figure agencies by committing his entire twenties to the work, starting at 19. He spent years with minimal traction, failing repeatedly, before incremental persistence produced steady growth. The secret wasn't a hack. It was a decade of showing up.
So the secret sauce to scaling multiple agencies to 7 and 8 figures, specifically for me before I turn 30, uh, which is in almost a year now— biggest thing I would say to my success is I've been doing this for so long. I don't think you can realistically come in and say like, you know, within a year you're gonna be, you know, this big success. Because at the end of the day, I got started in this when I was like 19, 20 years old in college, and I, I made the flip in my head that I was like, I am literally gonna go all in on this I'm going to dedicate the next— literally, I said it in my head, like, I'm going to dedicate my 20s to getting success in this field. And it took a long time. It sucked for 3 to 4 years when I really didn't see a lot of traction. But if you can come out on the other side of that with, you know, a little bit of knowledge, you're a little bit better than when you started. There's only going to be a positive to that. And, you know, again, year after year, month after month, trying things, failing, trying things, failing. You have to get used to failing because that's just one thing that, you know, okay, hey, that didn't work. Let's try something else.
