Me walking back on Money Twitter after not posting for 30 days, because I joined

Time to takeover the Agency Operations space.
I thought that you needed decades of experience to be able to charge $8k+ per month.
After I saw people like
@theaymanarab
selling for more than that I realized I was selling to the wrong clients.
Then the coaches in Client Ascension pushed me to 4x my prices.
Rest is history.

You had a shitty day today.
Employee took a day off.
Your inboxes are full off OOO’s.
Things are breaking.
STOP
Put things into perspective.
You’re making money sending emails to strangers from your room.
Everything is fine. Zoom out.
Lead-gen agencies who:
- have a VSL
- have social proof on their LP
- have a risk reversal
Easily book meetings for their offer using cold email.
But are struggling to do same for clients.
WHY?
Their clients have:
- no VSL
- no social proof
- no risk reversal
Just counted up all the testimonials coming in the next few weeks.
TOTAL: 15 video testimonials
When I said we were taking over the operations space I meant it.
@FidelCacheFlow
I had a mentor tell me he never does business with guys who look like they never got laid in high school/college.
Too many hidden complexes.
These guys are prime examples 😂
If I were to start a cold email agency here are the first 3 hires I would make (in order)👇
1. Inbox Manager (as soon as you can afford one)
2. Technical VA - ($10k/mo mark)
3. Customer Success Manager - ($25k/mo mark)
Detailed thread on this soon.
👑
This is the level of detail/analysis that goes into making a detailed sub-system map before we touch any automation tool.
Operations before Automation.
Always.
Am I wrong or most people on money twitter don’t track their monthly biz finances?
Everyone seems so focused on revenue, with ZERO thought of profit.
Reminds me of the dropshipping days.
Anyways, lmk if you need a cashflow tracker sheet I’ll send it over 🤷♂️

I get more and more disappointed in you with every attempt at stirring up non-existant national hatred. It's a happy moment for everyone in this region. Shame on you man.

Switching software tools won’t magically make your operations work.

It doesn’t matter.
You’re distracting yourself from doing what actually moves the needle.
One thing I'm thankful for above everything else:
I'm married and have 3 children before the age of 35.
People don't realize how big of a mistake they are making by putting the family stuff off.
More and more people with no software engineering background are starting to do automation offers.
Zero knowledge on databases, cloud infrastructure, coding best practices.
It's going to be cool to see who's still around in a year.
Unpopular take ❌
Over 80% of agency owners I know fail to realise this:
Adding automations or new softwares to shitty processes will only make things worse.
In December 2022 I reached out to get coaching from an ex-Navy Seal and performance coach.
Haven’t talked to him since.
Since then my life changed.
My son was born.
Started an 8 person company.
We’re catching up again this week.
Unfair advantage.
As getting results gets harder due to more people doing cold email,
Lead gen agencies are going to have to require clients to have well-optimized landing pages to work with them.
Only a matter of time before this is the norm.

Another underestimated point:
Working with EST time zone is perfect.
Mornings are quiet with no meetings/client messages.
Enjoy life in the mornings.
Start work at 12pm-ish.
Few hours of deep work.
Meetings only start at 3pm (9am EST) and if you plan correctly you end work
Everyone thinks the best countries for online entrepreneurs are:
UAE. Thailand. Spain. Portugal. Indonesia.
They are all wrong. This country surpasses them all.

Thinking about doing a Twitter sprint.
How fast I can go from 168 followers to 1k.
I will document the progress daily in this thread.
Would anyone find this interesting?
Since it seems that I'll be doing a Twitter sprint.
Tell me what type of threads/in-depth videos I should do?
P.S. Be selfish because I'll most likely do them all.
Scaling your agency without a solid operations framework is like building a house without a blueprint. It's a recipe for disaster.

I don't think our generation understands how lucky we are to be able to work remote.
Some people have to sit in traffic for hours just to do the same thing we can do anywhere in the world.
Maybe the only good thing that came out of COVID.

Think how your work/success can impact those around you. May be your family, employees, community.
Improving the lives of those around you helps bring back that drive.
Retire your parents. Build a school. Make your employees rich.
Don’t overthink your agency systems.
You just need to know 3 things:
WHAT needs to get done
WHO needs to do that
WHEN does it need to get done
If done well 90% of your problems go away.

The level of detail our Ops Team is taking to perfect the Company Brain is insane.
