Moving too fast to implement?

    It's time to put the books away and pull out the pad of paper

    We often consume books, courses, and programs insatiably but fail to implement what we learn.

    Stu McLaren, a coach, notes that the top reason people leave membership programs is the lack of implementation.

    Reflecting on my recent experience of reading 30-40 non-fiction books in a year, I realize I retained little because I didn't apply what I was learning.

    Have I truly "read" those books? No. Not really 

    Consider where you might be guilty of this cycle and what small step you can take in the next 24 hours to start implementing what you learn.

    “Is this a good fit for my agency?”

    I partner with founders who want to build something meaningful, not just a busier agency, but a stronger, more scalable business.

    You’re likely a strong fit if:

    • You’re generating $1M–$20M+ annually
    • You want to lead your market, not blend into it
    • You’re thinking about long-term scale, not short-term tactics
    • You want a growth engine that doesn’t rely on you
    • You value clarity over complexity
    • You’re open to advanced growth levers, including acquisitions
