Hello! Blake here.
This is my story.
Growing your online presence can be hard. I help small businesses by creating products and systems that help small businesses grow online.
Growing your online audience can feel very overwhelming. From creating content on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, to posting on your blog, to getting more email subscribers... the list goes on and on for entrepreneurs.
The products and systems I create directly solve this problem for busy entrepreneurs.
Have you ever had a dream...
but can’t seem to find a road map that works for you?
Well...I’m right there with you
I have worked in the online space for a long time. I’ve ranged from SEO expert, digital marketer, to web developer, to engineering lead and most recently to director of technology. With every rung I climbed of the corporate ladder, I felt more disconnected. It was strange and difficult for me to pinpoint.
In the back of my mind I knew that there was more for me out there than just climbing a ladder. I wanted to make a difference, but didn't really know how to take the first step.
Then I realized
I was losing the perspective of the customer, the people I was supposed to be serving.
My story could have ended there. Soooo many people just trudge through and "deal with it" for the rest of their career. I didn’t want that. I wanted more, but I didn't know exactly what.
That's when the self doubt set in.
“Could I start my own small business?”
“I have a family. What if I fail?”
“How do I handle the risks of starting a business?”
“Am I too late to start my business?”
The 2 concepts that changed my mind.
Failure isn't bad, it's just the way we learn.
Failure isn’t permanent.
Fear of failure is the single biggest reason why more people don't own each day of their lives. I know this was true for me. But no more.
I drew a line in the sand.
Pushing self doubt to the side I focused on the things I know extremely well.
- How to get a 30%-50% increase in sales through split testing. Through this alone I've increased revenue by millions for my previous employers.
- How to quit working 12 hour days through systems thinking.
- And now...how to smoothly transition out of a job to your own digital business. Don't worry, I've made every mistake in the book for science! I'll show you how to avoid them.
- How to scale from nothing.
- How to fix or replace old websites and tech without royally breaking everything.
- How to decide on a platform. Is Wordpress right for me? Squarespace? Which webinar plaform? Email system? There are sooooo many!
Let's get personal...
These are the most interesting metrics in my life.
