Toxic Hustle: When Business Ambition Eats You Alive (Almost)
Download MP3I've just launched a new YouTube channel!! The concept? I take real businesses struggling to stand the f*ck out, provide my positioning/branding/lead gen help, and record it all for YouTube. The first mini-series features three freelance marketers (copywriter Rob, ecommerce designer Laura, and non-fiction book coach Vicky).
I hope you'll set aside half an hour to watch it through. Maybe with your morning coffee? Or lunch break? Or evening onion soup? And then, the usual "Subscribe, Like, Share" would go a long, long way too.
What exactly is the stair-stepping approach to succeeding in business? Founders and Co-Founders alike all share similar struggles, no matter what industry they’re in. Whether it’s SaaS, marketing, or eCommerce, there are universal obstacles they all have to overcome.
Corey Haines is the Co-Founder of Conversion Factory which, in their own words, is ‘the only product marketing agency for growing SaaS teams accessible on a subscription.’ He’s an impressive guy with an extensive career in marketing, and most importantly, he cuts through the bullsh*t, and he’s not afraid to be open and honest about his entrepreneurial struggles, a breath of fresh air in this ‘grindset’ society.
