Are you afraid of the ONE strategy that could make you a success?
Here’s the simple truth about a confusing word—and why your fear of it could be holding you back.
QUICK…
What do you think of when I say the word “DOMINATE?”
- Two bighorn sheep butting heads?
- A dictator taking over a country?
- One person forcing their will on someone else?
If you’re like most people, you’re probably nodding your head.
Because something about the word “dominate” freaks us out.
But it doesn’t have to…
Especially when you’re talking about dominating your MARKET.
Let me explain…
I’ve been lucky enough to “DOMINATE” more than one market. This is what that actually means.
Back when I ran an agency…
- We got recognized as one of the fastest growing
companies in Denver, Colorado. (For two years in a row!) - We got a cover story written about us in the Denver
Business Journal. - Plus we were ranked a top 10 agency in Denver for 5
years running.
All that attention helped us build a wildly successful agency—and then sell it so we could focus on service to others.
And now, with UGURUS…
We’ve been featured in dozens and dozens of blogs, podcasts, conferences, webinars, and emails—and have multiple seven figures of revenue to show for it.
Now…
If I told you all of that came from knowing how to dominate a market…
Would you still think “dominate” was an ugly word?
Market domination isn’t a scary concept.
It’s simply about this: tapping into the influencers in your market that are willing to support you.
Here’s what market domination really looks like.
My business works for my lifestyle. It allows me to talk about the things I’m passionate about. Serve the people I want to serve. And do things that I want to do.
If I want to ride my bike for two hours, I don’t want to ask a client for permission. That’s not in my DNA.
But as long as I’m getting my work done and driving the outcomes I want for my business, I’m able to have the freedom to do what I want.
The freedom my business has given me means I can cut out at 10 AM to go take care of one of my kids if I need to…
All the while knowing that I’m not going to watch my business come crumbling down around me.
And it’s allowed me to build a business full of clients that I love.
See that photo below? That’s from USUMMIT—our annual event. And I would happily invite anyone in that photo over to my house for dinner.
So here’s a question for you… What’s important to YOU—and what do YOU want to get from your business?
What does market domination mean to you?
Here are some answers I’ve gotten from others:
What does your “fill in the blank” look like?
More importantly—do you know how to make it happen?
I want to help you dominate your market and your business…so you can get the most from your life.
Sounds like a big promise. But I feel it’s totally possible…
IF you pay attention to something important.
Notice that I said MARKET before business.
Lots of agency owners try to build their businesses when the market doesn’t care about them.
Don’t put the cart before the horse.
You need to have a constant flow of the SAME type of customers coming in. From well-defined channels. And they need to be buying the same type of work.
Because once you have all those things, you’ll have a “magic wand” you can wave to make business easier.
That wand is called “market domination.”
And it means you are choosy about who you work with.
When you work.
How much you charge.
(And whether or not they get to come over to your house for dinner.)
Are you still struggling to dominate your market?
I’ve talked to literally thousands of agency owners and freelancers just like you.
And I can confidently tell you that—at some level—we all wrestle with the same exact things.
Does any of this sound familiar?
YOU NEED MORE LEADS, YOU NEED BETTER CLIENTS
- Word of mouth and referrals are your only leads
- You lack marketing and sales systems
- You don’t have traction in a niche
- You can’t scale because each project is different
YOUR BUSINESS STRATEGY IS BASED ON TRIAL AND ERROR
- Your plan changes as often as the weather
- You question if it’s even the right plan
- You play within your comfort zone
- You don’t revisit your plan at the right intervals
BUSINESS CONFUSION—AND LACK OF CLARITY—ARE HURTING YOU
- Your email inbox defines your daily priorities
- You’re busy working IN your business, not ON it
- Shiny objects distract you easily
- Your to-do list isn’t getting any shorter
YOU LET YOURSELF OFF THE HOOK TOO OFTEN
- Your to-do list is more of a “should-do” list
- Your spouse is unable to keep you on track
- Your team can’t hold you accountable either
- When you’re out of money, it’s too late
They probably all resonate, don’t they?
The good news is…
In order to solve these problems you really only need three things.
- First, having a mentor is critical. Someone a few levels above you that can
show you the best path forward. - Second, you need to be able to go deep with peers who are experiencing
the same things you are. - Third—and most important—you need someone else to hold you
accountable. (Because, sometimes, just having someone to tell you to “get out there and do it“ can make a big difference.)
And if you’re looking around right now and realizing you don’t have ANY of these things…
Then it’s no wonder you’re struggling to grow.
Stop struggling. Get the money, business and life you deserve.
I’ve worked directly with more than a thousand digital professionals (and counting).
AND STILL I HEAR THE SAME THINGS ALL THE TIME.
- I still don’t make enough money.
- I don’t have enough great clients.
- I don’t get the leads I want.
- I work too much.
- I spend all my time doing things I hate.
- I can’t stand my clients.
- I don’t know if I can pay the bills.
Hearing that stuff breaks my heart.
But it also makes me OVERWHELMINGLY HAPPY.
Because I know I have an answer that works…
