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

When your job ends, especially after 25 or 30 years, it’s not just the paycheck that disappears. It’s your title… your team… your routine… and the quiet confidence of being someone who knows what they’re doing. You went from “VP of Sales” or “Director of Operations” to… well, what now? Nobody prepares you for that moment. No one talks about the void that opens up when your identity is no longer printed on a business card. Here’s what I want you to know this morning: ✅ Your title was never...

My business didn’t come from a big idea. It came from a quiet realization: I loved my job as an Online Marketing Manager but deep down I didn’t want to live on someone else’s schedule. My boss did me a favor and laid me off. At this stage of life, I didn’t want to chase clients. I definitely didn’t want to “retire” and lose the part of me that still had something to give. But I didn’t know what was next. I just knew this stage of my life was done. So I asked myself the same questions I shared...
