It Went Viral. "We Need A Bigger Boat!"
From One LinkedIn Post To Becoming Over Subscribed
Never in my life did I think I would mutter the words, "we need a bigger boat!”
(Cue the Jaws music... Da da, da da!).
On September 23rd, I am co-hosting a sunset yacht event in Dubai with my good friend Jordan Adams, designed to bring together entrepreneurs to chat business, network, and generally help one another out.
The event blew up and went viral! Dubai Time Out called it their hot pick of the month, Luma featured it on their homepage and before we knew it hundreds of people joined a waiting list.
When we first talked about this, we figured on 15 to 20 people. That number's now closer to 50, and even then we've had to say no to hundreds of people who wanted in. Which is a strange position to be in: turning away good, interesting people because a boat only fits so many… (a nice conundrum to have).
Here's what actually made that happen… a quick post on LinkedIn was made, a Luma event page was spun up, and the event was shared with a handful of business operators from Dubai who we really wanted to invite.
I am a firm believer that rooms beat funnels every time, and I stand by that. The Revenue Room and InnovateX are two examples in recent years where I've hosted events, brought together incredible professionals, and generated new business in a trusted, organic way.
I've kept a handful of tickets back for readers of this newsletter.
If you're going to be in Dubai the week of the 21st of September and want in on the yacht or want to meet in person at another time during that week, just reply here and let me know.
Something new…
We're soft launching Founder Line
and you are the first to know!
It's a joint venture between myself and Jordan. Every month, we speak to founders who aren't quite ready for our full retained services but still need a helpful set of eyes and ears to guide them through the early stages of building and growing a businesses.
Jordan and I have both been there from the ground up, several times. By combining our powers, we've created a new model that gives founders access to us on a monthly basis, as well as access to 'The Line' to handle and manage week on week queries. It's sandwiched between proven templates, formulas, playbooks, scripts, you name it, and it's all packaged up for the princely sum of just £600 a month.
If you'd like to find out if Founder Line is for you, we've created an assessment, it takes about 5-10 minutes to complete, and shows you exactly whats broken, what needs attention and take away advice you can implement in your businesses right away.
If that sounds like you, take the free assessment: No pressure, just a clear look at where things stand and what to do next.
