Founder

Founder & Coach providing actionable advice on how to earn more and live happier.

Never forget the people that took a chance on you. 

I helped more than 20 people get hired at Shopify. 

Before I ever became a hiring manager. 

Because someone gave me a chance that 7th time I applied. 

Whenever people would reach out for referrals, I would ask them to send me their resume

Most of them were terrible (because school doesn’t really teach you how to make them).

So I would rebuild their resumes with them. 

A few people used the exact same template I used to get into Shopify on my 7th attempt.

And it worked! 

10 years ago, you needed strong copywriting skills to land good interviews. 

Now you just need to know how to use the right tools. 

90% of jobs can be taught. 

Give people a chance.

Founder @ Magnate Ventures | Helping Good Founders Build Great Businesses with The Founder’s Blueprint | Angel Investor & Speaker

In 2010, I was selling noodles in high school.

In 2013, I was selling internet services through network marketing.

In 2015, I was selling hoverboards on Shopify.

In 2017, I started a sales consulting company.

Most of these businesses failed in less than 6 months and barely made any money.

My goal was always to build a business that gives me freedom.

The only problem was that I was a terrible entrepreneur and had no clue what I was doing.

In 2019, I started a career coaching company and made $11,000 in a year.

In 2022, I started consulting entrepreneurs on their LinkedIn strategy.

In 2024, my business generated over $1 million in 12 months.

The truth is that I wasn't really qualified to start any of these businesses.

In fact, I often had friends telling me that the ideas wouldn't work.

But growth comes from doing things you are not qualified to do.

Stop telling yourself you are not qualified enough.

If you meet someone that:

1. Has great work ethic
2. Is curious and takes initiative
3. Is coachable and learns quickly
4. Has intrinsic motivation to be successful
5. Comes extremely prepared with great questions

You should be finding a way to hire them.

The investment you make in training them will pay off big time.

Stop passing up on great talent because due to a "lack of experience"

Character is often more important than skill early on.

The Re:Create Summit | A Private Gathering For Entrepreneurs & Builders

Apply to scale your business & personal brand with my $20M Blueprint

One of my friends got fired the day he returned from paternity leave.

He just had his first kid and took 4 months off, which the company allowed.

We talked just before he came back and he was so excited to be back at work.

That morning, he logged into his laptop and saw a random meeting with HR for 9:15am.

By 9.30am we couldn’t find him on Slack and he had been let go.

His boss said they weren’t happy with his performance “for a while”

All of a sudden, this new dad was scrambling to find a new source of income.

He was so stressed that he barely slept for a week.

And less than 4 weeks later, a new sales rep was hired in his place.

Meanwhile, it took the dad 5 months to find a new role.

You are replaceable at work.

You are not replaceable at home.

Remember your priorities.

I spent $24,000 on a coaching program last year. 

But I didn’t even finish it.

There was so much information, so many new tactics and endless resources to get through. 

So I found the one thing in the program that I believed would move the needle for my business. 

And I put all my focus into learning and applying that one concept. 

The next month, we had our highest revenue ever!

I've invested more than 6 figures into my own personal development in the last 5 years. 

Although I've only completed ~25% of these programs, the knowledge I've gained has paid off in the long term. 

You can never lose when you invest in yourself.

Because you are your greatest asset.

Founder @ Magnate Ventures & The Founder’s Blueprint | Angel Investor & Speaker

My dad retired from corporate at 44 years old. 

I retired from corporate at 28 years old.

Back then we all thought he was crazy. 

But the day he quit, he said something I never forgot:

"If I want to build a better life for us, I have to do it myself."

I was 14 at the time and I still remember where I was standing when he said it.

That comment probably planted the seed of entrepreneurship in me.

As human beings, we reach for the highest branch we can see. 

Sometimes just witnessing someone do the "impossible"

Is enough for you to believe that it's possible for you.

I made all this happen with LinkedIn.

Government jobs used to be considered "safe".

Now they're being hit with layoffs. 

Some are speculating that this is only the beginning.

Especially with the rising trend of AI replacing people.

Last year, I remember reading a story about an employee who was laid off after 11 years at the same company.

He just found out his wife had gotten cancer and just as she was starting her treatment - he was laid off.

A double blow.

These stories prove two things are simultaneously true:

1. Your company is not your family.

2. There is no reward for loyalty.

The safest bet is having multiple options

Build something you own.

Don’t forget how far you’ve come.

Giving up is always an option.

But before you do, remind yourself of all the work you’ve done.

And all the progress you’ve made.

I don't know who need to hear this but... 

Keep going! 

It will be worth it.

One of my reps got an insane job offer. 

It was more than double what we were paying her. 

When she told me, my first thought was selfish. 

"We just lost our best salesperson. What do we do?"

But the first words out of my mouth were: 

"You need to take that. I know you want to buy a home."

Then I acted as her reference. 

The worst time to offer a raise is after someone resigns. 

If they are valuable to you, make it clear long before.

And keep the people who genuinely want to stay.

It's impossible to be excellent by mistake. 

Excellence is a choice. 

Having a great attitude is a choice. 

Treating people with respect is a choice. 

And the destinations you end up at are just a summary of your choices. 

So if you want to live a better life in 3 years or 5 years...

Start by making good decisions right now. 

They will change your life.

It's easy to get overwhelmed by everything on your plate.

But that's what causes analysis paralysis.

Instead of trying to do everything, just focus on what you can do today.

One job application.

One LinkedIn post.

One outbound message.

You don't have to take it all on at once.

Start small and stay consistent.

Company: We need you all using AI for your jobs

Employees: Okay, we will use it every singe day.

Company: We're laying 40% of you off because AI can now do your job for a fraction of your salary.

Employee: Wait, what? 

This is basically what’s happening and will continue to happen this year. 

AI is getting better on a daily basis - even I have to admit that.

And companies are realizing that they can be more profitable with less people.

I promise you, there has never been a better time to start building your own business. 

Companies will always take care of themselves. 

You need to take care of you.

I turned off all my alarms on June 6th.

That was the day I retired from corporate. 

Back then, I used to think I needed millions of dollars to be free. 

Then I met high-earning employees who felt stuck in their jobs. 

And millionaire entrepreneurs who felt trapped in their businesses. 

Freedom isn't about money. 

It's about having more choices. 

Having the option to: 
→ Wake up without an alarm
→ Work from anywhere
→ Earn what you want
→ Report to nobody

Is true freedom.

Build that.

My mom taught me how to handle conflict when I was 8 years old. 

And helped turn every bully I had into a friend. 

Here's how:

I surprised my mom with a car two years ago.

It's a promise I made to her when I was 14 because I knew she loved cars.

In fact she used to street race with her mom! 

And it was one of the most fulfilling moments of my entire life. 

I love building my businesses and my audience. 

But what I'm really passionate about is:

→ Taking good care of my mom
→ Paying my brother's college tuition
→ Taking my dad to watch Arsenal live
→ Traveling around Europe with my sister

Getting the most out of life with the people I love the most. 

A job is a means to an end. 

So is creating a personal brand.

And so is building a profitable business. 

Don't get carried away comparing yourself to people trying to look successful. 

Write down your own definition of success.

Then pursue it relentlessly with everything you've got.

Records we’ve broken in our business: 

2021: $100,000 in one year

2022: $100,000 in 4 months

2023: $100,000 in one quarter

2024: $100,000 in one month

2025: $100,000 in one week

2026: $100,000 in one day

This is what compounding looks like. 

Just keep getting better. 

Build great systems.

And never give up.

There are 2 types of business owners.

Most stay stuck in the first type.

Type 1 is The Technician

You're still doing the work:
↳ Creating all the content
↳ Handling every client
↳ Managing all projects
↳ Making every decision
↳ Solving every problem

Your income is tied to your time.

Your business stops when you stop.

Type 2: The Architect
You've built systems that work:
↳ Content gets created
↳ Clients get great results
↳ Projects keep moving forward
↳ Teams make decisions without you
↳ Problems get solved before you know about them

Your revenue is tied to your systems.

Your business grows while you sleep.

You enjoy the profit. 

If you're still doing ALL the work, you're not running a business.

You have just created another high-paying job. 

First, master the work.

Then build the machine.

I gave my first international keynote a few weeks ago in Dubai. 

Just before I went on stage, I felt my heart beating so fast. 

Because part of me couldn't believe how far I had come. 

For years, my biggest fear was that my weaknesses would stop me from being successful: 

→ Always distracted by new ideas 
→ Extremely disorganized
→ Terrible at sales 

But then I decided to stick with posting on LinkedIn for 1,724 days straight (as of today). 

That somehow ended up changing my entire life. 

And allowing me to 
→ Quit my job
→ Take care of my family
→ Travel the world with my wife
→ Invest in some incredible companies
→ Help founders generate millions in revenue.

In January, I got invited to 1 Billion Follower Summit in Dubai to give a short keynote. 

On how to build a global business on your terms. 

Not with multiple offices, thousands of employees and millions in funding.

But with a laptop, a small team & an online audience.

So that you can work from anywhere and live life on your own terms. 

The information I shared changed the trajectory of my life. 

And I hope it impacts yours too: https://lnkd.in/gc3d48xH

If you’re planning to quit you job one day. 

To go be a full-time entrepreneur…

Watch this before you do:

6 years ago: I discovered Justin Welsh with 80k LinkedIn followers at the time.

1 year ago: We had lunch in Paris and talked about our businesses for hours. 

A few months ago, we got to invest in an awesome startup together. 

Back in 2020, I remember thinking to myself: 

"If I ever get to 80,000 followers, I'll probably change my whole life."

Today, I have 380,000+ followers & a 7-figure a year business.

And Justin was the catalyst to that journey. 

Last year, he asked me to do a talk for his Unsubscribe community. 

And then he came to share his wisdom in our Founder's Blueprint Accelerator.

Surround yourself with people that make you the best version of yourself.
