I just crossed 125 paying subscribers and I am now firmly sitting on the growth plateau.
The growth plateau is the space you land after the initial excitement dies down, when it’s time to get to work and get to convincing more people to come along with you.
So I thought…what would you tell someone else to do next, Lex?
💡 CHECK YOUR FOUNDATIONS.
Last week, I made a whiteboard to work this out for myself.
This week, I turned it into a map for you.
The Foundation Map is a detailed checklist of everything you need to turn your passion project into a full fledged business.
Webpages. Sequences. Revenue Recovery. Social Automations. Promo Campaigns.
It doesn’t matter if you launched yesterday or 10 years ago. Either way, you’ll find this map useful in where to focus and fix leaks.
OH BUT LEX NOW I AM OVERWHELMED WITH DESPAIR LOOKING AT ALL THIS WORK.
Never fear my friend! I am not gonna leave you hanging here.
We’re gonna start working through this together LIVE. One piece at a time. Starting in April. Only available to Paid Sub Playbook members.
No need to wait for me though. Get cracking on your foundations below!
