5k to $12M ARR in 4 yrs (w/ Exit) 🔥 Scaling my 4+ B2B companies in the same way 🚀 Daily advice for entrepreneurs.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve built five businesses to 6, 7, and even 8 figures in annual revenue.  Now I buy businesses

In 2019, I exited one of them — FreeeUp — after scaling it from a $5K investment to $12M+ in ARR in just four years. It was acquired by The HOTH, and that journey changed everything for me.

Unique About the FreeeUp sale:
- No office
- No Us Employees
- Bootstrapped (No outside funding)
- Zero Money spent on Paid ads
- An internal team of 30+ All-Star Virtual Assistants from PH

These days, I’m focused on growing Hirsch Gillivan LLC — the holding company Connor Gillivan and I started. We're building a portfolio of 5-star businesses, each run by amazing operators who truly care about our clients. It’s been a blast supporting great people, growing cool companies, and enjoying life after our first exit.

Here are a few we own:

→ EcomBalance: Monthly bookkeeping for eCommerce sellers
→ AccountsBalance: Monthly bookkeeping for agencies, SAAS, and b2b businesses
→ TrioSEO: Helping SaaS and B2B brands drive high-intent organic traffic and revenue growth
→ HG Media: Growing Connor and my brand online + helping sponsors reach our audience
→ CFO Expertise: Reach financial clarity, optimize growth, and scale profits with an Ecommerce CFO that’s seen it all. Built for brands on Shopify & Amazon.

I’ve had the chance to be a guest on 900+ podcasts over the years — including shows like Perpetual Traffic, Mixergy, BiggerPockets, and Leveling Up.

Outside of building businesses, I'm a proud dad to Carter and husband to Quynh. I get in a daily hour of HIIT, run marathons, and play way too much softball. Always learning, always investing — whether it’s stocks, real estate, or new business ideas.

Everyone says they want top talent around them. 

Until top talent disagrees.
Moves fast.
Challenges weak thinking.
And sees things they don’t.

That’s when insecurity gets exposed.

Because working with people smarter than you sounds good in theory.

But in practice, it demands humility.

Real leaders don’t hire to protect their ego.
They hire to raise the standard.

They know that being the most capable person in every conversation is not a flex.

It’s a bottleneck.

A few truths about building around smart people:

1 • It makes your blind spots obvious.
↳ And that’s a gift, because what you can’t see is usually what slows you down most.

2 • It forces you to lead, not control.
↳ You stop trying to have all the answers and start creating space for better ones.

3 • It sharpens your thinking.
↳ Strong people challenge weak ideas fast, which makes the work better.

4 • It multiplies your output.
↳ One great mind adds value. A team of great minds compounds it.

5 • It requires security.
↳ If someone else’s brilliance feels like a threat, the issue is not them. It’s ego.

Having access to people smarter than you is a blessing.

Because proximity changes you.

It makes you think bigger.
Move better.
And grow faster than you would on your own.

The goal was never to be the smartest person in the room.

The goal was to build a room that makes everyone smarter.

Working with smart people is great.
But it is not enough.

Because intelligence can solve problems.
But humility and kindness build cultures where problems don’t have to exist in the first place.

Here’s why it matters so much 👇

Kind and humble people:

They make collaboration effortless.
You don’t waste energy defending ideas or egos. 
You build together - faster, cleaner, and with more trust.

They create psychological safety.
When people feel respected, they speak up, share bold ideas, 
and admit mistakes early. 
That’s how teams innovate and grow.

They inspire long-term loyalty.
People don’t leave companies - they leave toxic dynamics. 
Working with grounded, genuine teammates keeps great talent around.

 Ways to practice kindness and humility at work:

Listen more than you talk.
You don’t need to have the loudest voice to have the strongest impact. 
Listening builds connection and earns respect.

Give credit - generously.
Acknowledging others’ work doesn’t diminish your own. 
It multiplies the trust and energy in your team.

Keep learning.
The moment you think you’ve “arrived,” you stop growing. 
Stay curious, stay open, and never let success make you unapproachable.

Kind people build strong teams.
Strong teams create big results.

Thank you and shoutout to Chase Dimond for this awesome post!

Someone half as smart as you,
earns twice as much,
…because they believe in themselves.

You’ve got to get out of your own way.
(It took me AGES btw).

Success without qualification…
That’s not JUST confidence.
That’s timing.
And risk.

Most people assume qualification comes first.
It doesn’t.

📌 Feeling ready is the reward, not the requirement.

I’ve rebuilt from scratch more than once.
It get easier every time, but self doubt is still there. 

Each week I coach leaders who look calm and certain in public and privately wonder if they have the talent.

Same pattern every time.

👉 The people who grow aren’t braver.
They’re just earlier.

They step into things slightly before their nervous system says it’s ok.
Then they adjust in public.

Growth happens in the gap between
“I’m not ready”
and
“I did it anyway.”

Five ways to cross that gap without pretending to be fearless:

1.	Decide, don’t debate
Most hesitation is just mental noise. 
Pick a direction and move. Now.

2. Reduce the scope
You don’t need to be ready forever. 
Just ready for the next step.

3. Use proof, not feelings
Track what you’ve already handled. 
Evidence beats doubt.

4. Act once per day while unsure
Small, visible actions rewire confidence faster than thinking.

5. Let competence catch up
Skill follows exposure. 
Always has. Always will.

If you wait to feel qualified, someone less capable will take the seat you hesitated over.

Not because they’re better.
Because they went first.

Don’t wait. Just do.

Most leaders scale output.
Few scale capability.

Early in my career, a boss told me:

“I’m not thinking about this role. I’m thinking about you three roles from now.”

He wasn’t evaluating performance.
He was allocating future power.

That moment shaped how I think about leadership.

There are two models:

Capacity Leadership
You centralize decisions.
You review everything.
You stay indispensable.
The team performs — but only with you in the room.

Compounding Leadership
You expand decision rights before comfort does.
You let people own stakes slightly above their readiness.
You build judgment, not compliance.

One model scales supervision.
The other scales leverage.

Capacity leaders cap at their calendar.

Compounding leaders create optionality:
– More autonomous operators
– Faster decisions
– Real succession depth
– Revenue that isn’t personality-dependent

Control feels responsible.
Distribution feels risky.

But dependency is the real risk.

If your team cannot outgrow you,
you didn’t build leaders.

You built extensions.

And extensions don’t compound.

Some leaders get attention.

Others become impossible to ignore.

Not because they talk more.

But because their behavior keeps proving something.

Influence is not charisma.

It is consistency.

Here are the habits that separate visible leaders from respected ones.

11 habits that make leaders impossible to ignore

1. They finish what they start
→ Projects reach real closure, not just progress updates
→ Momentum builds because nothing stays half done
    
2. They prepare before showing up
→ Meetings have intention, not improvisation
→ Opinions are formed before the room forms them
    
3. They stay calm when things break
→ Pressure does not leak into the team
→ Decisions stay steady under stress
    
4. They say the hard thing early
→ Problems are addressed before they grow
→ Feedback feels direct, not delayed
    
5. They keep standards visible
→ Quality is defined, not assumed
→ Expectations do not change week to week
    
6. They decide without perfect information
→ Progress matters more than certainty
→ Teams move instead of waiting
    
7. They take responsibility first
→ Accountability starts at the top
→ Excuses never set the tone
    
8. They repeat the message
→ Priorities stay clear over time
→ Alignment compounds through repetition
    
9. They protect focus
→ Fewer priorities lead to better outcomes
→ Distraction is actively removed
    
10. They give credit freely
→ Wins are shared without calculation
→ Ownership spreads naturally
    
11. They make themselves less necessary
→ Systems replace constant supervision
→ Teams operate without dependency
    
Real leadership does not announce itself.

It reveals itself over time.

Which habit are you intentionally building this year?

P.S. I write weekly about calm, systems-first leadership here: nathanhirsch(.)com/newsletter

Most people confuse authority with loudness.

That is just ego with a microphone.

Real authority is quieter.

It shows up in how you decide, how you communicate, and how you hold standards.

The best leaders I have worked with did not try to look important.

They tried to be useful.

Here is how you build authority without ego.

9 ways to build authority without ego

1. Be consistent
→ Do what you say you will do
→ Let patterns earn trust
    
2. Make decisions calmly
→ Remove emotion from the process
→ Explain the reasoning, not the drama
    
3. Hold standards without attacking people
→ Separate behavior from identity
→ Correct early, not harshly
    
4. Ask better questions than you answer
→ Get to root causes fast
→ Help others think clearly
    
5. Be the most prepared person in the room
→ Bring context and options
→ Respect time with clarity
    
6. Give credit quickly
→ Share wins without hesitation
→ Make others feel seen
    
7. Admit mistakes fast
→ Own the miss without excuses
→ Fix it and move forward
    
8. Teach systems, not superiority
→ Document how decisions get made
→ Make knowledge transferable
    
9. Stay close to the work
→ Understand reality, not politics
→ Lead from truth, not titles    

Authority that needs to announce itself is fragile.

Authority that is earned is hard to shake.

Which one are you focusing on this year?

11 Signs You Are Not Leadership Material.pdf

Most cold email problems aren’t copy problems.

They’re deliverability problems.

If you’re landing in spam,

Your offer doesn’t matter.
Your subject line doesn’t matter.
Your follow-up doesn’t matter.

So I like to keep it simple.

Before you scale outbound, run a deliverability system.

Warmy helps you do that.

It’s built to improve inbox placement through:

Warm-up 
Authentication checks
Engagement simulation
Deliverability monitoring

Here’s the exact checklist I’d run:

1. Start with inbox placement data
→ you need a baseline before changing anything
→ measure inbox vs spam across providers

2. Validate authentication
→ SPF, DKIM, DMARC should all be green
→ fix this before sending volume

3. Track deliverability trends
→ monitor changes over time, not just one test
→ consistency matters more than spikes

4. Review provider-level proof
→ Yahoo and Outlook behave differently
→ confirm you’re landing where you think you are

This is what sustainable outbound looks like.

Less guessing.
More control.

You can try Warmy without a credit card here: https://lnkd.in/gvE2d75G
