When Perry speaks, I listen


I've been a client and good friend of Perry Marshall since I met him 20 years ago at a marketing conference.


He was one of my first marketing mentors, and his coaching and courses have been invaluable in helping me grow my businesses.


When Perry speaks, I listen.


He has an uncanny sixth sense when it comes to predicting trends.


In 2008, he warned us about putting all of your marketing eggs in one basket as Google dominated the search market.


"Diversify your traffic" Perry preached.


The infamous Google Slap of 2008 knocked thousands of businesses from the top of the search rankings causing many to go out of business.


At the same time, changes to the Google AdWords algorithm caused cost-per-click prices to skyrocket.


In 2008, Perry warned us about the economy.


The mortgage crisis led to many people losing their jobs, homes, and retirement savings.

It was a reminder that financial innovation without proper oversight can have devastating consequences.

Perry also warned us about another potential economic downturn in 2018. Despite a growing economy in the US, the stock market tanked.

This week, Perry is doing a webinar,
"The Equity Mindset: How to Think, Act, and Negotiate Like an 8-Figure Exit Owner."

Here’s the truth: Every quarter, Perry helps one of his clients exit their business with a 7-, 8-, or 9-figure payday.

But just as often, he sees entrepreneurs get eaten alive by vulture capitalists—walking away with almost nothing.

The difference?

It starts in your
mindset.

In this session, Perry will show you:

✅ The leverage points most business owners never see
✅ The critical mindset shifts that separate successful exits from disasters
✅ How to raise capital without “selling your soul”
✅ The framework for maximizing value while staying in control

If you want to build a business that sells for top dollar (instead of getting swallowed by investors), you don’t want to miss this.

Join us on Thursday February 20th at 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern

As we approach Thanksgiving, I've been wrestling with what gratitude looks like when life hits you with a sledgehammer. I'll be honest, 2025 has tested me in ways I never anticipated. In just six weeks, we lost three incredible matriarchs of our family. Aunt Magda at 98, Aunt Dee at 96, and Cousin Marina at only 78. These weren't just relatives - they were forces of nature. Powerful, opinionated women who spoke their minds when that wasn't always welcome. They blazed trails, shaped...

You can skip today's Mastermind Book Club meeting with Alastair Dryburgh this Thursday. It’s just another hour out of your busy day, right? But what’s the real price of that hour? It’s not just 60 minutes. It’s the cost of every proposal you’ve underpriced this year. It’s the revenue you left on the table because you were guessing, not strategizing. It’s the deals you lost to a competitor who wasn’t cheaper, but who framed their value better. Think about it. How many times have you set a...

I’m deep into Alastair Dryburgh’s The Pricing Genius, and he drops this military strategy bomb called the OODA Loop that completely changes how you think about pricing. OODA stands for Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. Air Force Colonel John Boyd created it for fighter pilots making split-second decisions. Luckily, we don’t have to make many split-second business decisions in business that could be fatal. Here’s the genius part of the OODA Loop. Alastair shows how this combat framework transforms...
