The Advice That Cost Me Thousands

There’s a weird moment nobody talks about when you invest in yourself.

You swipe the card. You feel the high.

You enter the program…

And then nothing.

You’re surrounded by "successful people."
There’s a Discord or Slack group with 217 other "high-level entrepreneurs."

You ask a question.

Nothing.

You post again. Still nothing.

The founders? Silent.
The group? Ghost town.
Your inbox? Empty.

And now, you’re sitting there wondering what the hell you just paid $5K+ for!
​
You got a PDF and a pre-recorded video from 2022 that you could ask GPT to do.

It messes with your head, right?

You start asking:

• Am I the only one not seeing results?
• Am I not ready for this level?
• Should I just go back to my job?

I've been there.
I’ve felt the pit in my stomach after dropping thousands only to realize… I was sold proximity, not support.

And it almost pushed me back to a life I had spent years trying to escape.

The Most Dangerous Lie in Entrepreneurship

Here’s what’s wild.

When I finally cracked through the noise, scaled up, and started advising other founders on growth strategy, I kept hearing the same story.

“I joined this big-name community and nobody answered my questions.”

“I followed all the training but still don’t know what to do next.”

“My mentor has 50K followers but doesn't even remember who I am.”

You see, most of these programs aren’t built to help you.
They’re built to scale revenue for the founder, not results.

They brag about how many people are inside, but don’t tell you how many quietly left, burned out, or got ghosted after the sale.

That’s not mentorship. It's marketing.

And it’s a big reason why talented people with real potential stall out.

You Don’t Need Another Course. You Need a Real Human Who Will Show Up

When I started taking on private clients, I decided to do things differently.

I don’t want 1,000 customers.
I want 20 people I know by name.

People I can actually help.
People I can actually mentor.
People I can text back with a Loom instead of ghosting them for weeks.

So I launched The Inner Circle — a small, invite-only mentoring group designed around one promise:

No ghosts. Just growth.

Here’s what it includes:

• Weeklies with Me— not a VA, not a bot. You and me, live.
• Inbound, outbound, DMs, posts, ads — I’ll help you build the full acquisition machine.
• Marketing automation + AI — I’ll show you how to scale yourself without burning out.
• Real mentorship — you ask, you get answers. No waiting in a sea of “we’ll get back to you.”
• Decades of Experience - not just scaling companies but teams of teams.
• Private Monthly 1:1 - we'll review your numbers and help you point in the right direction

This isn’t for everyone.
It’s not cheap. It’s not passive.

But it’s built for the person who’s:

• Done with broken promises.
• Craving momentum.
• Willing to show up - if someone finally shows up for them.

Most People Don’t Need More Info. They Need Someone Who Gives a Damn.

Let me guess:

You’ve watched every webinar.
You’ve read every thread.
You’ve tried writing posts that “should” work.
You’ve sent DMs that get ignored.
You’ve launched offers that didn’t get traction.

You even scraped YouTube video transcripts and built GPTS (like I have)

And now… you’re tired.

You’re running out of time.
Your runway is shrinking.
You’re starting to whisper things to yourself like, “Maybe this just isn’t for me.”

But what if you’re not broken?

What if your strategy isn’t the problem — the support is?

What if you’ve just been trying to grow inside a container that was never built to nurture you?

The Inner Circle isn’t the magic pill.

But it is a room where you’ll be seen, supported, and sharpened.

And right now, it’s open.

Want In? Here’s How To Get Started

If any part of this hit home — if you’ve ever been ghosted, stuck, or tempted to walk away — I’ve got something for you.

Shoot me a quick reply with the word "Circle."

I’ll send you the details, along with a free AI tool we use inside the program to handle lead flow without frying your nervous system.

No sales script. No countdown timer. Just a real reply from me.

Because mentorship isn’t about mass appeal — it’s about actual connection.

So if you want real strategy, real support, and real results...

Say the word.

I’ll be here.
