I am obsessed with making sense of the non-sensical.

I talk about human potential:

- Productivity, focus, flow
- Philosophy & spirituality
- Finding enjoyment in the mundane

Lifestyle design:

- Workflow optimization
- Working less & earning more
- Habits, routines, and iteration

And one-person businesses:

- Creators, coaches, and solopreneurs
- Content creation systems
- Modern marketing & sales
- Free social media traffic

If you are into any of those, follow along for the ride.

Here's a bit about me:

I’m a brand advisor for 6-7 figure creators and influencers.
I’m the guy they come to when they want to go from starving artist to highly-paid (and highly-praised) internet phenomenon.

I help them systemize their workflow, marketing, and content so they can work for 2 hours a day, charge more, and sell their products & services on autopilot.

I’m good at what I do because I test things on myself so I know what works and what doesn’t.

Because of this, I’ve grown my own personal brand to 150,000+ followers across different platforms, work for 2-4 hours a day on average, and have systems in place that keep the creative income flowing.

(Scratch that, I'm updating this bio 1.5 years later and have grown to 2.6 million followers with the strategies I have been writing about for that time).

It feels like I’m boasting... but I guess that’s a hit I’m willing to take to ease your worries of trusting some random dude with your time and attention.

I will, however, never apologize for aiming to be as transparent as humanely possible.

Hi, I'm Ben Meer.

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

There are 2 primary ways I can help you:

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.
