Me 3 months ago: - 15hr workdays - Running 8 X accounts - Making $4k/mo I had clients and income. But I didn’t have a business. Fast forward to now: - I work 2hrs/day - Went from $4k/mo → $20k/mo - Got my life back Here’s a takeaway from every month that helped me get here: 1. Delegate fast At my worst point, I was writing 15hrs/day for clients. If I wasn’t working, nothing moved. That’s when I realized something uncomfortable: The bottleneck wasn’t demand. It was me. So I made a decision most people delay for too long. I delegated 50% of my workload. Not to random freelancers. To people I already knew. People who: - I met online - work ethic I trusted - reliability I’d tested over time That move freed up a massive amount of time. I didn’t use that time to take on more client work. I used it to focus on my personal X page. For the last 3 months, i’ve been intentional with my content. The result? - 4 clients closed directly from inbound DMs - More time to attend onboarding calls - Higher close rates And most importantly: I got my personal life back. Time with family and energy to plan my wedding. Working on my personal page introduced me to a new audience I never had access to before. That never happens when you’re buried in 15 hrs of work. 2. Staff Training The hardest part isn’t hiring. It’s trusting someone else to meet your standards. That’s why most founders quit delegation too early. I fixed this by putting systems in place before expecting results. Here’s what that looked like: - A Notion doc with my entire writing framework - A second doc breaking the framework into principles that apply across industries - Clear examples of what works and what doesn’t Within 2 weeks, my writers were producing content not far off my level. My first writer grew an account +2.4k followers in 1 month. That’s when it clicked: When your team is aligned you’ve multiplied your output without multiplying your workload. That’s how I got my workday down to 2 hours. Without systems: - Delegation creates chaos - Quality drops - You lose business With systems: - Quality stays consistent - Output scales - You grow the business. 3. Rebranding Early on, pricing was my biggest problem. I had clients paying $500/mo I wasn’t being underpaid because of skill. I was underpaid because of how I framed what I did. So I changed 1 thing: Stopped selling myself as a ghostwriter. I positioned as a growth partner. Here’s how you can do the same: - Offer a guarantee: refund in 3 months if “xyz result not achieved” - Create a funnel: low ticket → mid ticket → high ticket - Increase your prices: attracts premium audience Today, I have a client paying $7k/mo. I also cleaned up my funnel: Personal content → inbound DMs DMs → onboarding calls Calls → retainers In the last 3 months, inbound DMs increased +400%. This is the subtle part most people miss. Execution matters but positioning decides who shows up. These changes didn’t just grow my business. They changed my life. I’m happier with my business. I’m happier with my body. I’m happier in my relationship. All from 3 simple steps: 1. Delegation gives time 2. Systems scale operations 3. Positioning increases pricing If rest makes your business fall apart, you will fall apart with it.

@darrelltalksfi you guys get so many asset vehicles in the u.s we have a few in the uk but nowhere near as much

Grabbed drinks with a buddy of mine last night He already maxes out his 401(k) and IRA But still has $20k sitting in savings and doesn’t know where to invest it I told him: open a brokerage account Most people miss this step 5 reasons brokerage accounts are so underrated: 🧵

@HyperMachinaHQ proof you're not AI

@_sgarbini That 20% is doing more work than you think, it’s the proof you’re not just theory. People trust the strategy more when they’ve seen the chaos behind it.

the 80/20 rule. 80% of my content is about content strategy. 20% is me losing $500k on a memecoin and drinking guinness. strategy gets you hired. personality gets you remembered.

@IAmAaronWill if you dont get them on a call or paying by the first interaction you're cooked

"I'll think about it". They will not think about it. They have already thunked. Here's how to handle that bs response. "So you're 50/50, part of you wants it, part of you doesn't. Tell about the part of you that wants it". Whatever they don't say, that's the objection.

@lindsaybitcoin what a setup you have there

Hand cut fries and chicken wings fried in beef tallow up first 🔥

@KevinSzabo14 worst is when they repeat your post in different works sucks ass

Stop being so F*kn boring! Spamming “Agreed” 24/7 is not a brand. And to be honest, you’ll be forgotten quick. To be thoughtful “reply guy” do these 3: • Read • Think • Write Yeah seems obvious but no, apparently not. First, ACTUALLY read the post. Second, think of a thoughtful reply. Third, act and write it down. If you do this with big and small accounts. You’ll be fine. If you want to earn by replying (seriously) Leave a comment and check the replies.

@Beegirlcreates amen

@_sgarbini A good way to remind us to always infuse our personality into our content

@aka_yaswanth very interesting indeed

@_sgarbini Interesting how the “non-strategy” part is often what makes everything feel real.

@Polymarket who cares about oman?

BREAKING: Oil prices in Oman have surged to $167 a barrel.

@DudeWhoInvests explained exactly why in my substack @theinvestorsside/note/p-191477601?r=1n5yjy&utm_source=notes-share-action&utm_medium=web" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@theinvestorss…

Makes LITERALLY ZERO sense. GOLD the hedge for geopolitical instability is crashing in the face of geopolitical instability. Can’t make this up.

@alc2022 you took your time to realise it brother

I have a feeling the S&P is going to drop 20% soon

@MrResultss all of it sucks ass unless you're directly hunting down prospects

Most marketing advice is garbage. Half of it is talk. Half of it is guessing. Real marketing shows results and makes it obvious who’s getting them. Be careful. Not every “guru” has experience. You need to pay attention to where you’re getting your advice from.

@eliana_jordan agree people want to be part of a broad network personal apps don't allow that and never will

“Apps are dead.” I don’t buy it. People still want tools to: → remember → stay motivated → track things → make better decisions Demand is still there.

@ItsKieranDrew you died on a hill? sorry to hear that bro

A hill I'll die on: You should be unreachable for at least half your day. For example, I recently launched my 1-1 coaching offer. I'm working with five people. I tell them I'm available every day, but only after my writing is done. This protects my creative time, but also lets me invest energy more smartly. Everyone wins. Most people think being always available makes them a better service provider. It doesn't. It makes you a worse writer, a worse thinker, and eventually, a worse coach. Your best work comes from deep focus. And deep focus requires being unavailable. Don't be afraid to draw boundaries. Your clients will respect you for it.

@OnatAksaray together they're unstoppable

@_sgarbini content teaches, stories connect

@Bwellth amen sir

@_sgarbini The balance is what turns an audience into a brand.

@darrelltalksfi I think yours is decent tbh few more stories wouldn't go a miss though

@_sgarbini I think I need to show more personality tbh. Good call out

@qthomp long $AR and chill szn continues

European gas is now >6x the price of US gas. US nat gas assets becoming more valuable by the day.

@calebcmedia exactly that expertise 1st, personality 2nd but you don't neglect either of them

@_sgarbini Mad ass strategy. People trust your expertise. But your personality that’s what builds Loyalty.

@EmailCopyJames fr but you have to share 80% unique value

@_sgarbini The right personality gets remembered + premium Clients

@distortedshapes lmao as long as its not bleach brother

@_sgarbini If I lost $500k I'd prob also drink guinness. I'd def drink something. 😄
