I'm 28 and I wasted 6 months with 0 clients Then, I hit $15.8k/mo Generated 16 million views Worked with 8-9 figure businesses But I could do it much faster.. Here's how you can avoid my mistakes:

@LUKEBARTLETTX success should include your people

Don't forget the people that were there for you bro bro. If someone was with you at your lowest. They should be with you at your highest.

@palirenjen qualify before opening your calendar

The most expensive meeting you take this week might already be on your calendar. Because no real qualification happened before it was booked. Instead of moving the deal forward, the meeting is being used for basic screening. Some form of pre-qualification, whether manual or automated, should usually happen before anyone sees your calendar. But automating lead qualification is not always the right move. If you’re early, still learning your market, or selling something high-trust and nuanced, manual qualification can be the smarter path. The bigger problem is when qualification happens too late. Too often, qualification happens on the discovery call itself. And if the prospect is not a fit, that time is already gone. In practice, most businesses qualify leads in 4 ways: 1️⃣ DMs / email - Great early on. Hard to scale later. 2️⃣ Forms - Good for structured intake. Weak when the buyer still has questions. 3️⃣ On the call - Sometimes necessary. But expensive if basic screening is happening live on every call. The problem with 2 and 3: prospects who still have a quick question before they’re ready to book a call or fill out a form will often drop off. 4️⃣ Conversational AI - Bridges that gap. It answers questions, qualifies fit, and guides the next step... all in one flow. That's the layer I think a lot of funnels are missing. ✓ Not more traffic. ✓ Not more calls. ✓ Just a better way to move interested prospects forward. The video below shows what that can look like… An AI agent answers initial questions, qualifies the lead conversationally, and only then presents the calendar if they are qualified. If someone isn’t a fit, it can guide them to a better next step instead of pushing everyone down the same path. And importantly, it doesn’t have to feel robotic. If the AI is in the middle of qualifying someone and they interrupt with a quick question, it can answer naturally, then continue the flow. The goal isn't replacing sales. It’s reducing friction for the buyer, protecting your team’s time, and making it easier for the right prospects to get qualified and booked in the same flow. One important boundary, though: when a prospect asks something that requires custom strategy… like what your approach would look like for their specific business or situation… the AI shouldn’t answer for your team. It should recognize that moment and guide the prospect toward a consultation. That’s where the human layer still matters most. If you want to try the flow from the video, here’s a demo agent you can test: @prismagrowth" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">surfn.ai/@prismagrowth I also wrote a deeper guide on when to automate lead qualification… and when not to. Full guide in comments. Curious… which approach has worked best for your business so far?

@denis_acia message clarity comes first

Influencer marketing doesn’t start with creators. It starts with clarity. • Who is the buyer • What problem you solve • Why it matters now Creators distribute the message. They shouldn’t have to discover it.

@closermethod pricing confidence raises your value

I spent 10 years closing $1.2M enterprise deals at companies like McCann, Autodesk, Criteo. I learned how to extract maximum value from every negotiation. Then I became a closer and coach for a top UGC program and looked at what UGC creators were accepting. And I realized... you're getting robbed. UGC rates dropped 44% in one year. The average creator now makes $198 per video. That's not a market shift. That's brands exploiting desperation. You know what separates $400 closers from $1,200 closers? They know how to leverage the conversation. They know what to say when brands push back. They understand pricing psychology, not because they studied it for a video course. Because they’ve cold emailed and cold called a million CFOs and CMOs and figured out rejection is okay and how to make the say yes. I built the Closer Kit for creators who are done accepting less.

@theantonchain warm intros beat cold outreach in fundraising

Hopped on call with a founder over three months ago who had an interesting approach to fundraising, he was methodical. He built a spreadsheet of 600 investors, segmented by stage, sector, check size, geography. Spent 3 weeks writing personalized cold emails to all 600 of them. Tracked opens, replies, click rates. optimized subject lines and a/b tested the opening paragraph. treated it like an outbound sales campaign I asked him what the results were '11 replies, 4 calls and 1 term sheet that fell through at the last minute. 7 months of his life' he did everything right by the playbook. and the playbook failed him. Here's what the playbook never explains: investors who take cold email meetings are often the investors with the most availability and investors with the most availability often have the most availability for a reason. The best investors are not sitting in their inbox waiting to be discovered by a cold email they already have deal flow. They have networks that bring them the best deals before anyone else sees them. Cold email gets you the leftovers and the 'maybe' pile. and the people who have time. Pre-committed capital means the money is already looking for the deal not the other way around. Your job is to qualify, structure your company correctly and show up to a committed table instead of a cold inbox. DM me COLD and I'll explain the difference in how the process actually runs.

@Dias_Builds better systems beat more discipline

I thought I was disorganized. Turns out… my tools were. Studies show the average knowledge worker uses 10+ tools daily and switches between them 1,200 times. That's not a discipline problem. That's a design problem. Your workspace should work with your brain, not against it. @fluxo_app

@CoachAlexandra1 decisions get easier after boundaries

You see things more clearly when you set a boundary. What you want and what you don't want.

@LexPoletaX pacing creates emotional impact

Work for yourself first so you can work for others later. We were created to create. Doing anything less is not doing Gods work. So get out there and build. Build your legacy. Leave your mark on the world. Because even if you fail, you could always go back to a 9-5 “Just Over Broke.” Your worst case scenario are most people’s realities.

Harsh truth: More volume won't fix anything. My client was in disbelief. He was posting 3x a day. He was engaging 50x a day He was dming people 10x a day. Results: Nothing. No engagement. No growth. No leads. So we made a few changes. But we didn't change the inputs. He is still posting 3x a day. He is still engaging 50x a day He is still dming people 10x a day. But.. He is getting 10x the engagement now. He is getting leads. He is growing. If you post 3x a day with no results.. Posting 10x a day won't change anything. It's not about what you do. It's about how you do it. If you have the right strategy.. Same inputs can create different results.

I made an entire free X training. Writing your first tweet to signing high ticket clients on X.. I got you. Here's the sauce: youtube.com/watch?v=E3vXMI…

My first 4 months were brutal. No clarity No clients No real results Except some engagement and followers. But I wanted to change. I wrote anyway I posted anyway I showed up anyway Why? Because giving up costs more.. than keeping going. You lose when you stop trying.

@alex4editing675 pacing creates emotional impact

Documentary editors obsess over the cut. The best ones obsess over the breath. A half-second of silence before your key reveal does more for retention than any transition effect. Your audience needs a beat to feel before they can absorb. Give it to them.

English countryside maxxing

@RalffTum true that g

@OnatAksaray The hardest part isn’t starting. It’s continuing when nothing is happening, if u did that gratz u deserve it!👌

@diwashprenuer indeed, letsgoo

@OnatAksaray giving up costs more than keeping going. that's the whole game. you only lose when you stop. I am still on my early days but yeah showing up everyday🙌

@Kelvincreates absolutely bro

@OnatAksaray Most people quit right before the compounding kicks in. Showing up when there's no proof it's working yet is the actual skill, everything else is just execution. 🔥

@sergiustrading appreciate u

@OnatAksaray That grind is real, but showing up despite the grind builds the momentum you need—keep pushing, the payoff's coming.

@thekchasiotis cheers man

@OnatAksaray From rugs to riches. Cheers brother.

@EmailCopyJames totally agree

@OnatAksaray When we try we still get a chance, but if we give up, we lose that precious chance to change our bloodline

@MaskedPeter for sure

@OnatAksaray You have to struggle first

@RasmusSevelius certainly man

@OnatAksaray Go all the way if you start Don’t ever let it go halfway
