In my conversation with Growth Now Movement with Justin Schenck, I shared why I focus on clear, actionable goals instead. It’s not about setting a plan in stone—it’s about staying flexible and pivoting when needed.
That adaptability helped me scale my cold email agency, acquire and flip a newsletter from 5K to 250K subscribers, and work with startups all the way up to Fortune 500s.
Most people hate cold emails because they get them wrong. But done right, they’re the most effective way to connect with the right people—just ask Disney, Amazon, and Goldman Sachs, who all became clients of my first startup through cold outreach.
Key Takeaways:
- 🔥 Cold emails work when done right: My first startup landed Disney, Amazon & Goldman Sachs just through well-crafted cold emails (10:25).
- 💡 Adaptability beats rigid planning: Entrepreneurs who pivot quickly often end up in better places than they originally planned (1:39).
