#dogoodwork is not a label but a way of living.
 
It is the constant and diligent effort to achieve a new level of excellence in one’s own life.
 
It is the hidden inner beauty behind the struggle to achieve excellence.
 
It is not perfect but imperfect.
 
It is the effort, discipline and focus that often goes unnoticed.
 
The goal of this podcast is to highlight that drive.
 
The guests I have on this show emulate this drive in their own special way. You’ll be able to apply new ideas into your own life by learning from them.
 
We will also have 1on1 episodes with me where we’ll dive into my own experiences with entrepreneurship and leadership.
 
Every episode is designed to provide you with ideas that you can apply and grow in excellence in all areas of your life, business and career.
 
Do Good Work,
Raul

Most businesses I have spoken with have issues in one of three areas when it comes to Facebook™ advertising: driving qualified traffic to their website from ads, converting that traffic profitably into new business, and knowing which ads to drop and which to scale in a timely and cost-effective manner. 

Facebook™ is one of the largest revenue channels for businesses today. The trend is only increasing and with it, the competition as well. You can only beat your competitors if your position in the marketplace is strong and your campaign strategy maximizes every dollar you spend and gives you a profitable return on ad spend after expenses or COGS.  

We serve our clients through a Marketing Intelligence process we go through to position your product/service in a blue ocean and create profit-driven campaigns that focus on only one thing- a profitable return on investment for your business and lifestyle goals. 

If you are currently looking to grow your business through profit-driven Facebook advertising and want to learn more how it can be done - message me here on LinkedIn.

Marketing and Sales Jedi (Manager)

#MarketingMuscle by Mike Phillips

Job Description: All of the things

I have been accelerating revenue growth for large and small businesses for over 12 years. My marketing grew revenue for businesses ranging from Silicon Valley tech startups to mom-and-pop local businesses. Now, I apply modern marketing to help freelancers, solopreneurs, and creators grow stronger revenue.

Solopreneur

Bringing creators, solopreneurs, and freelancers together — because nothing helps you grow stronger than good training partners. THE GYM is a free-to-join community dedicated to helping creators, freelancers, and solopreneurs grow stronger businesses. Together, we provide the mutual accountability, support, referrals, and knowledge you need to successfully grow your revenue in the creator economy.

Community Manager

Maple and Honey LLC

Founded Maple & Honey LLC in 2017 with the focus of delivering brand strategy & growth marketing consulting agency. Served dozens of local and global clients as a bespoke agency partnership.

Expanded by adding a media branch in 2020, producing content and digital products branded with the #MarketingMuscle hashtag. The content was originally distributed on exclusively LinkedIn and later expanded to include YouTube. The focus remained the same as the original consulting work: to make marketing make sense for regular people with small ventures.

Founder and Managing Partner

You have a rare story. Let's make you unforgettable. Find your sweet spot with Maple & Honey.

M&H is a professional storytelling firm; we build authentic, compelling narratives that move customers, hiring managers, and donors to take action with our clients. 

Our clients are small businesses and individual professionals, and they often find it challenging to engage their “audience” — whether they’re a business owner trying to reach out to customers, a careerist trying to impress their bosses for a raise, or program leader working to earn donations for a worthy cause. Our clients often experience a frustrating disconnect between what their unique value really is and how others perceive it -- and so their audiences aren't taking the action our clients desire.

As specialists in Business Storytelling, what we do is help our clients shape and communicate authentic and compelling narratives that truly connect with the people who matter to them. We teach them to sell the idea they are driven to champion by selling the story behind that cause.

Neuroscientifically, the parts of our brains that are lit up during a story are also where feelings of trust, loyalty, and hope are activated. If you know how to reach people at an emotional level, you’ll activate trust, hope, and loyalty for your brand. Well crafted and well-told stories are what move your audience to take action. People want memorable experiences, and the experience of stories call them to a deeper level of caring & investment in you.  People who care take the positive action you want them to.    

With a focus on Sales Enablement thru Business Storytelling, we offer custom-tailored services including Sales and Communications Training, Brand Audits, Online Social Selling Lessons, Video Media Creation, Copywriting, PR Issue Response, SEO, Digital Content Optimization, Google Analytics Implementation, Personal Branding Coaching, and more — from simple one-time projects to continuing retainers.

This included group lessons and one-on-one mentoring using my own curriculum design and training methods to teach corporately-supported methods and metrics. After my training, the team has maintained its status as a top-performing store in the district and region.

• I wore all the “business hats” of a sales trainer, recruiter, hiring manager, people manager, operations manager, loss prevention leader, and merchandising director.

It is NOT-impossible; it's Unimpossible.

I fell in love with a problem — the chasm between new and established players in the creator economy:

52% make <$10k/yr. Only 1% hit $500k/yr.

Solving that problem is my mission — to help solopreneurs, freelancers, coaches, course creators, and consultants build their bridge across the income chasm.

👋 I'm Mike — growth marketer, weightlifter, content creator.

I've used marketing to grow revenue for large and small businesses for the better part of 2 decades. Now I'm on a mission to help you grow stronger revenue too.

📉 Many players in the creator economy build large followings through a creator motion, yet they continue to see their revenue underperform.

How you position your brand and go to market with your offer is the key to exceeding the average. That’s the power of marketing.

👉 I make marketing make sense for the creator economy — in 3 ways:

1. Content that connects the dots between enterprise growth strategies and the creator economy.

2. Community that brings creators together to collaborate, lift one another up, and grow stronger together.

3. Coaching that helps you break your limits and grow reliable revenue through strong and simple marketing.

(Don't take my word for it. Take a look at my recommendation section.)

💪 #MarketingMuscle began as my personal brand hashtag, but it grew into a business.

Through years of creating content and engaging with other players in the creator economy, I found the niche of helping online entrepreneurs develop marketing skills and a growth mindset.

📈 My vision is the democratization of success through the creator economy. With the right mindset and marketing, you can cross the income chasm and achieve financial success on your own terms.

Always be growing,
—Mike

P.S. If you're looking at my profile, that's marketing in the creator context. My content and brand inspired you to learn more. Now you can check out what I offer. Marketing works; it will work for you too.
