The worst place to be

Hi friends,


It’s 78 and sunny in Colorado.


Today I picked up a bagel and coffee.


Took my dog for a walk.


Now I’m tanning by the pool before my trip to the Dominican.


It’s March and I think winter is over already.


(I’m used to snowboarding this time of year).


This unseasonal weather has me thinking.


When summer comes around, activities pick up and business slows down.


Summer is fun for business owners who’ve crushed it and want to spend some time by the pool.


For others?


The side & full time builders who didn’t get the traction they wanted…


It’s the slow season.


Cold DMs don’t get fast responses.


Organic views go down.


Referrals slowly fizzle out.


That’s why I picked up a new gig - I needed to get on the right side of the curve.


And if I’m being honest with you…


It’s been better than expected.


I work with a smart team, I’ve made a splash in a big way, and I have client work on the side.


Going into slow season, I have predictable AND side income.


Unlike last year.


Spending my days on manual outreach, hearing “No thanks” 10 times a day.


It was a bad place to be.


A hopeless place.


I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by bills.


I know what it’s like not signing new clients.


And worse…


When the client roster is 0.


So I’m doing something I haven’t done in a while.


Since it’s unofficially summer, I’m taking 5 coaching calls this April.


This is for side and full time builders who’re feeling overwhelmed by…



Just $139 for an hour with me and we’ll create your Summer Slowdown game plan.


If you’re new here - a but about me.


I’ve helped produce millions in the info and online service space since 2021 through growth marketing.


We can talk about it on the call too.


But after April 7, I’m bumping coaching calls to $250/hr because I respect my time.


Just reply to this email with a time that works for you and we’ll get the call scheduled.


Talk soon,

Ryan
