My experiences with Entrepreneurship, Start Ups, User Acquisition, Platform Development, Direct to Consumer Brand Growth

Then in addition to that there was corporate people as well as start ups… and on and on.
With all that said I wound up just talking

Doesn’t it feel great when you find success?
Do you ever get frustrated by not being able to repeat it predictably?
Did you know you can have the best marketing skills like copywriting, designing, conversion rate optimization and still not predictably find consistent success on a large scale?

2 CommentsMost of us entrepreneurs start in the affiliate world as “lone wolfs”. That is us doing all tasks in order to make the whole thing go.
