@TheJeremyHaynes Great post. You do like a loom auditing their stuff and send on DM?

If you run an agency and your ideal client doesn't respond to ads
Stop running ads to get clients
I've never run ads for my own agency deals
My type of client doesn't respond to ads
So I do video pitches and value-driven follow-up
A sales team has run that same system for almost a decade
Figure out which acquisition channel actually matches your type of buyer

Went to the Emerging Filmmakers Project here in Denver Last Night…
It’s always refreshing seeing other creatives make Films & short Videos JUST FOR FUN
In the video marketing world It’s easy to Focus only on Metrics and Sales
When we should focus on bringing that creative energy into every business venture and videos

@TheJeremyHaynes People think their offer is the reason they their retention sucks but it’s because their ability to generate results quickly and consistently suck

@samharbornec @TheJeremyHaynes Maybe adapting looks like what successful Health or Ai brands are doing on their bigger commercial campaigns using mass marketing sponsorships and influencer brand deals.
Putting money behind creatives that have the social proof of someone famous in the paid ad
English

@TheJeremyHaynes so what does adapting look like? smaller campaigns in parallel, killing what isnt working faster, paying more for the offer thats already converting and less time chasing the next big idea.
English

@TheJeremyHaynes Getting the actual Lie Detector “Guy” made this 10x better lol. Great format and ultimate social proof of quality

Okay. I'm ready to talk about this.
It was the worst month of my life. Also ironically the greatest blessing god has ever given me.
Last month I was held in the Cayman Islands facing 15 years in prison.
The charge: illegal firearm importation. Here's what happened. More importantly what I learned.
Short answer: no. I haven't been smuggling guns.
In the States I legally carry a gun on me at almost all times for self defense. Part of this is ensuring I am trained.
Hence why I routinely go to the range to shoot. When I do I pack the firearm I intend to use in in a backpack.
Last month I was in a giant rush to make a private flight and didn't fully check my backpack before leaving. In it was a small firearm I missed.
It was discovered when I went through immigration.
At first I assumed I'd just be sent home.
Then my wife did some quick research. She pointed out the minimum sentence for importing a gun is 15 years. The police who showed up confirmed it.
To say I nearly pissed my pants is an understatement.
This was completely my fault. I'm an idiot. The point of this post isn't to blame or complain about anything. The laws there are fair. I'm a grown man capable of checking his bag before flying.
The point is: for three weeks on the island (on bail), I got to take a long hard look at my life.
I've built a high net worth and a company I love, with people I love working with. I have a beautiful wife who is my best friend. I do whatever I want all day every day. My parents are alive and I get to see them almost every week.
Still, despite all this, I often wake up annoyed I haven't done enough with my life. Asking myself "is this it?" In fact I'm pissed half the time, feeling I can do better.
Which is ironic. I made $20,000 a year in the military. If you'd told me then I'd achieve a 9 figure net worth and all the above, I would've assumed I'd consider my life a dream.
The twist truly hit me on the island as I watched everything I worked hard for in my life held at "gunpoint". Pun intended. Everything I worked so hard to get — poof. Didn't matter for shit.
The way the law works there are simple : if you can't prove it was an accident, the minimum is 15 years.
It became glaringly obvious. Not only was I an absolute idiot who couldn't pack his own bag. I'd also become a fool who couldn't enjoy the blessings I already had.
I'd taken all the people in my life and the success totally for granted. Blind. Blind. Blind.
Nothing like a 20-year potential sentence to make you realize: waking up with fun stuff to work on, then chilling on the couch reading with your wife at the end of the day — that's about as good as it gets.
I should be euphoric 24/7.
To go from having it all, to potentially not even having the option to piss and shit when you want — that's a wake up call if there ever was one.
Luckily, the Caymans is a fair place. I was found under exceptional circumstances during my trial. AKA the judge and the courts reviewed the case and agreed it was an accident.
I still love the island. It's probably my favorite place to vacation. Just check your luggage before you go. Ha.
My point is this: be present. Enjoy your life. One day something could happen — even by complete accident — and yoink it all away.
I have so many friends who'll read this and by all definition live a "dream life" — and yet are dissatisfied just like I was. If anything this is the default for most successful men. Not the exception.
I'm writing this to help you stop.
It took god slapping me across the face with my own ignorance to see it. It was painful and scary. Dark.
But honestly, it was the greatest blessing I've ever received. I'm writing this from my office at home, giddy as absolute fuck about my life and everything I have the option to do today.
If anything, I'm sad about how much time I wasted feeling otherwise.
Don't be ignorant and stupid like me. You might not get the blessing of a 15-year prison threat in a foreign country to wake you up.
Wake up. Appreciate what you have now.

@SahilBloom The way you show up for yourself sets the standard for how everyone else will show up for you.

@brycent Most Startups try to spend AS LOTTLE AS POSSIBLE on this and instead hire useless employees thinking that will make them money🤷♂️.
All my clients who spend a lot on production and ideation and distribution, Profit the most

@imakeBADads To many “Marketing Agencies” only focus on getting clients and Never put any Real effort or money into developing the Product smh

Marketing is easy.
What’s really hard is creating a product good enough to MAKE it easy.
I could market every business, acquire a new one, do all these deals, blah blah blah, but marketing for something like AC companies would be a f*cking headache.
But if I created a product where I’m like, “Fill out this form and you get a $5000 grant from the government for FREE,” I just have to tell 10 people.
They’ll tell their friends about it because it’s literally free money.
Then their friends will tell their friends.
And by the end of the week, I guarantee 10,000 would’ve filled it out.
Marketing is only difficult based on how unwanted the product is in the first place.

yeah so marketing is really fucking hard
