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.

At first, we thought it was just a bus or semi truck rumbling by. We were finishing the final inspection on our soon-to-be home with a contractor and two realtors. Everything looked great and we were ready to close escrow. I headed home to pick up my daughter Alicia at daycare then watch the World Series. The San Francisco Giants were playing the Oakland A's, a true Battle of the Bay. I turned on the radio to listen to the game and they said the Bay Bridge collapsed. The announcer said the...

When I got laid off at 55, I expected the anger and financial anxiety. What I didn’t expect was the grief. Not the kind you feel when you lose someone you love. But something just as real and disorienting. I was grieving the loss of my identity. The Identity Crisis No One Warned You About Here’s what nobody tells you: You’re not just leaving a job. You’re leaving the person you’ve been for decades. The corner office. The team that looked to you for direction. The title that gave you instant...
