Here's what filling a free workshop taught me about marketing.

I emailed a lot of owners about it. Plenty of them opened it. Almost nobody signed up from the email.

The room filled anyway. It filled from conversations – phone calls, a few minutes each – and from people I'd never met who showed up because someone they trust passed them the link.

Most owners I meet think they have a lead problem. A lot of them have a follow-up problem. The interest is already there. Nobody picks up the phone.

Before you spend another dollar on leads, ask yourself: who raised a hand this month that I never called back?

Be the Buffalo. Charge the Storm.

Yesterday a room full of Cleveland owners worked on their own businesses for two hours. Here's what they took home, in their words:

"Be more intentional with what I'm spending my time on." – Amber, Lamar Advertising
"Hiring the employees I want to hire." – Leo, Rise & Grind Cafe
"Scaling, 7 Keys, and cash flow is king." – Csilla, Heritage Law
"Know your WHY." – Lesia, Unity Catholic Federal Credit Union

Thank you to everyone who gave up a Tuesday morning – and to the Parma Area Chamber of Commerce for helping fill the room.

Next in the Herd Series: Communicate Like a Leader, Tuesday, November 17, in Valley View. Free. Comment LEADER or message me and I'll hold you a seat.

Tuesday morning, 8a. Twelve chairs. Six steps.

Nobody in that room will be watching slides about someone else's business. Every owner walks in with their own scorecard and walks out knowing the one step that's capping their income – and what to do about it in the next 90 days.

Two hours. Coffee's on me. Back at your desk by 10:30.

If you've been meaning to come, this is the week. Comment SCORECARD.

Hours you actually worked last week, minus the hours you wanted to be working when you started this thing, times 52.

That's the number I write down in every first meeting, and it's the one people still remember six months later. Not the revenue gap. That one.

You started this so you'd have more freedom. Somewhere along the way it flipped.

Money you can make back. Those hours you can't.

If you want to see what yours looks like, comment HOURS and I'll send you the assessment. Takes a few minutes.

I sell growth as hard as anybody. Revenue, profit, systems, all of it. That's the job.

But I sell a balanced life just as hard, and I mean it.

A business that requires all of you isn't a successful business. It's a job with worse hours and more risk, and you own it.

If you haven't had a real week off this year, that isn't a badge. It's a symptom.

When was your last one?

I want you to do one piece of arithmetic with me. It takes about ten seconds, and most owners find it hard to look at.

How many hours did you work last week? Be honest. Include the email at nine at night, and the two hours on Sunday.

Now - how many hours a week did you actually want to be working, back when you started this thing?

Subtract. That's your number.

Now multiply it by fifty-two.

That's how many hours of your life this business took last year that you never agreed to give it.

For a lot of owners that's five hundred hours. For some of them it's a thousand. A thousand hours is six full weeks of your life, every year, going into a business you started so you'd have more freedom. Not less.

Money you can make back. That, you can't.

So what's your number?

Goal: $250K. Year one: $600K. Now past $750K.

That's what happens when a Cleveland HVAC owner climbs the six steps in order.

Find out which step you're stuck on – free, Tuesday, October 20, 8a – 10a in Valley View. 12 seats.

When a storm rolls over the Rockies, cows run away from it. Buffalo run straight into it.

That's the difference between four hours of pain and forty minutes of it.

Cows feel the storm coming and they run east, away from it. But the storm is moving east too. So they stay inside it. They run at the same speed as the weather and they get pounded for hours.

Buffalo do the opposite. They turn and charge west, straight into it. They take the worst of it head on, and they're through it in minutes.

Same storm. Same speed. Completely different amount of suffering.

I have never found a better picture of what I watch owners do.

The cash flow problem you haven't opened the spreadsheet on. The employee you've known for eight months you need to let go. The price you haven't raised since 2022. The partner conversation you keep rescheduling.

None of that gets smaller by waiting. It gets bigger, and you stay inside it longer.

The owners who grow aren't braver than everybody else. They're just faster at turning into the thing they're avoiding.

What's the storm you've been running from since spring?

Be the Buffalo. Charge the Storm.

February 2025: Sully starts T&T Heating and Cooling. Just him. Goal: $250K by year end.

May 2025: we start coaching.

We didn't start with ads. We started with a vision, a strategic plan, and guiding principles for his money and his time – plus an accountability schedule he still runs today.

Then a team. A referral program. Real outreach.

December 2025: $600K.

Today: past $750K, aiming at $1.1M.

Sully didn't work harder than you. He climbed the steps in order.

I'm walking 12 owners through those same six steps on Tuesday, October 20 in Valley View. Comment SCORECARD and I'll send your ticket.

Be the Buffalo. Charge the Storm.
