Eliminating Gaps in Revenue Strategy for 7-Figure Brands Wanting to Become 8-Figure Brands | Sales and GTM Operations Leader | Selling is Serving

I have 10 years of experience helping early-stage startups unlock revenue by building the GTM systems they should have started with.

As a strategic operator, I work across sales, customer success, and product feedback loops to drive meaningful results. I’ve helped grow both internal teams and client companies to $5M+ in annual revenue by tightening execution, sharpening messaging, and aligning GTM strategy with real customer needs.

I’ve been an entrepreneur my entire career. Along the way, I’ve learned that doing what you can now is the only way to earn the freedom to do what you love later. That mindset also shapes how I approach AI. It's already reshaping and disrupting the world I work and thrive in. I have a responsibility to my family to prepare for what’s coming, not just react to it.

I share on LinkedIn and invite anyone to join the conversation. If you identify with anything below:
✓ building in public 
✓ startups, investing, and legacy building
✓ coffee and photography (for the creatives 😉 ) 

Connect or say hi. 

Much love, 
Aaron

On A Mission To Help Jobseekers By Networking.

Julia Mc

I’ve been applying to jobs for 5+ years.

It’s so disheartening and has left me doubting myself more times than I’d like to admit.

I know I’m not the only one in this situation. 

I’ve tried so hard and have had no success.

It’s time to change things up. 

I’m working on ideas for my own online creative business, which I’m really excited (and SO nervous!) about, but I’m still hoping to find a WFH role alongside - as I know success doesn’t happen overnight.

So I’m reaching out, with a polite ask to my network: If anyone knows any legitimate, creative small company or similar that could use some part time (paid) remote help (admin, organisation, creative support, social media, content creation help etc.) 

I’d love the chance to be considered.

Thank you so much for reading and for any shares, connections or kindness you can offer.

NB: MUST be a legitimate business, I’ll be doing my research!! I have to say this on here just to be clear - If it seems like a scam I will not be moving forward with it. Thank you.

#Help #Layoffs #Networking #Hiring

You’ve been hired after unemployment! 

First of all, congratulations. 

I sincerely hope you’ll be happy in your new role. 

But please don’t feel guilty. 

You deserve to be happy just as much as those in the middle of their job hunt. 

You feel bad because there’s many who have been jobless for far longer.

This shows you have empathy, kindness and compassion: qualities of an amazing employee. 

I’d love to hear how your first week goes! 

(This post is a reply to a DM I received.)

How it feels to be a job seeker: 2k+ job applications later… 


I know I’m not the only one, but the truth is, as a job seeker of 5+ years I’m exhausted from spending hours upon hours: 

• filling in applications-never hearing back. 

• looking for jobs to apply to-only to be rejected.

• getting hopes up when interviewed-to be told 2 weeks later by email they hired someone else. 

It honestly seems like no matter what I do, this job market is against me. 

I’ve spent a long time over the past 5 years applying for all sorts of jobs but since some months ago my perspective changed: I will now only apply for or reach out to the companies I’d actually like or love to work for. 

You may think I’m being too picky, but applying for 1000s of roles (many of which I probably would have been unhappy in after a while) hasn’t helped either. 

And if you think I should “just take any job” have you tried getting ‘any’ job these days? 

This is not your average job market. 

It’s literally like trying to cross a chocolate bridge in a heatwave - because I never seem to make it to the other side (opposite) of unemployed anymore. 

I’ve tried so hard over the past 5+ years. Now I’m reaching a point where I’m really, really worried. 

I cannot go on having £0 coming in. 

I’ve been searching for a WFH part or full time position, in which I am treated with respect. 

The only one I’ve been offered so far, (this was in 2022) is one that had pages of reviews online about how badly staff are bullied. (So I said thanks, but no thanks and explained why.) 

I was bullied in primary school, secondary school, college and some (not all, luckily) jobs I’ve had so far. 

I don’t care what the “take any job” crowd say: I know I deserve better than that. 

I’ve been politely reaching out to places I would like to work with and they’ve been so kind in their replies, but I’m still in this situation currently.

I understand not everywhere can just take on new people if there are no positions open but I don’t know what to do anymore and am really worried about everything.

I was trying to have a job in place alongside starting my own online business but it’s looking like that won’t be possible… 

Who rekons I should start my own thing anyway? 

I rarely post here asking for help for myself, usually I’m posting to try and help others, but I can’t carry on being in this predicament.

If you know of any WFH part or full time admin/ creative jobs please let me know. 

PS: If you’d consider sharing this post I’d be most grateful. Thank you for all your support.

PPS: I’ll be back soon with my networking posts that aim to help other job seekers.

#Unemployed #LookingForWork #HireMe

1,903 days ago: I was made redundant from my full time job of 3+ years, due to the pandemic.

Since then I’ve:

- sent 2k+ applications.
- completed interviews for about 5%.
- been ignored or rejected from about 95%.

I literally don’t know what to do anymore. 

I spent agges looking at job websites again earlier and applying - for roles I’m extremely unlikely to actually get. 

I’m looking for an admin or creative wfh position that I’d be able to do alongside starting my own online business. 

Thank you for reading and please consider reposting.
