Hi, I'm Ben Meer.

Tired of non-actionable life advice, I started writing online in February 2022.

Here are the results:

→ Built social audience from 0 to 2M+ (across IG, LinkedIn, and X) 
→ Grew 0 to 690K+ followers on LinkedIn in 21 months
→ Scaled newsletter—System Sunday—from 0 to 270K+ subscribers

There are 2 primary ways I can help you:

1) System Sunday Newsletter

Most people don't know how to build life systems to accelerate personal growth. So I created a weekly newsletter that teaches these systems (it's free). Subscribe to unlock new levels of wealth, health, and freedom.

Rule for life:

Never settle for places that overlook your potential.

In the wrong environment: 

• Your expertise is suffocated by micromanagement
• Your vision is greater than the company’s ambition
• Your suggestions die in meeting rooms
• Your energy’s drained because of office politics

But in the right environment: 

• Your skills command premium prices
• Your ideas spark immediate action
• Your contributions create visible impact
• Your growth has no ceiling  

If you're constantly fighting an uphill battle to prove your value,
You're in the wrong room.

What’s the environment that’ll 10X your potential?

And more importantly,
What's stopping you from going there?

The best compliment someone can receive?

“You have my respect.”

Yet 99% of people try to earn respect the wrong way:

• They think it's about being heard. 
• They think it's about big moments. 
• They think it's about being the smartest person in the room. 

But in reality, true respect is:

• Remembering the names of everyone's kids.
• Returning shopping carts in empty parking lots.
• Cleaning up after dinner parties without being asked.
• Keeping your phone away during every conversation.
• And the other 16 behaviors in this one-pager. 

Warren Buffett said it best, 

"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."

The key? 

Small, consistent behaviors will compound into unshakeable long-term respect.
