“A business needs two types of people to achieve a mass scale without everything going all crazy - the starter and the scaler.” Timothy Dick (00:55-1:20) There are two archetypes necessary to scale a business to a high seven or eight figures. While it’s possible to build a business to a certain point with only one type - whether that’s one person or multiple people of one type - to achieve mass scale without the overwhelm and headache, a business needs both types. Type One: The Starter Most entr...
“You can't scale your winning ad campaign in a linear straight line. You have to be methodical about it.” Timothy Dick (9:51-10:00) Managing your marketing budget is essential to getting the most out of your campaigns and remaining profitable along the way. The algorithms used by Google, Facebook, and other platforms give today’s businesses the power to reach their target audiences and convert them into paying customers. But these algorithms are complex, and there’s a common mistake that busines...
“One of the keys to becoming wildly more productive is understanding the concept of the trichotomy of returns.” Nic Peterson (2:49 - 2:54) Learn to be efficient with your resources as your business grows. When your business starts growing, your decisions become more critical. Ideally, you want to minimize your input for a specific return. To make decisions that enable you to maximize your output, you need to grasp the concept of the Trichotomy of Returns. “When making a decision, you have to dec...
“We talk so much about targeting what you want. But you need to go a little further and add a layer of what you don’t want or doesn’t make sense.” Timothy Dick (11:51-12:10) Exclusion and negative targeting are strategies that business owners often overlook when trying to grow and scale. But they can influence the results you achieve on any online ad platform you’re using to get the highest return on your ad spending. It takes time to figure out who you want to target with their messages with an...
“Mindset and mental health are key layers in business. If your mind isn’t in the right place, and you’re not able to work through the issues that come up, it’s going to affect your business.” Timothy Dick (3:15-3:45) Mental health challenges can range from mild bouts of stress to crippling anxiety or depression. These and other mental health challenges affect people from all walks of life, educational backgrounds, and levels of success. “No matter how successful the business is, you can still ru...
“Sometimes things do work and we still say they don’t work. We need to identify what ‘working’ is.” Nic Peterson (1:28-1:36) There’s a big trap that many entrepreneurs fall into. They could be bringing in millions of dollars in revenue while wasting countless hours, money, and energy trying to fix things that are “broken” in their business. But what they think is broken, may not actually be broken. The same is true for entrepreneurs who are just starting out, which keeps them from gaining the tr...
“When you have momentum and your business is growing, stopping everything to build systems for things that don’t matter right now is the worst thing to do.” Nic Peterson (2:56-3:10) Building systems into your business saves you time and money. Systems let you automate repeated tasks at every stage of your sales process, which makes your daily operations more efficient and improves the experience of customers. But systematizing can hurt businesses when it’s done the wrong way. Most businesses foc...
“It can often seem like your team is lazy and doing the minimum amount of work. But the fact is, you’re not setting complete criteria.” Nic Peterson (1:14-1:26) How do you know when a task is truly complete? Businesses grow and scale when they apply one key concept that most organizations miss. Understanding “complete criteria” can save your business hundreds of thousands of dollars. It eliminates the waste of time that occurs when your organization doesn’t know what “done” actually means. Paren...
“We assume that regular functioning at regular times is enough to scale. But it’s not.” Nic Peterson (5:40-5:46) When it comes to failure, entrepreneurs need to understand the complexities involved in growing and scaling their businesses. Your business can achieve a 5X return on investment (ROI) and still be running out of money. This keeps business owners running on a hamster wheel that never gets them where they want to be. Businesses are complex systems, and thinking the results you achieve a...
“Organic and paid marketing are exactly the same. You pay for organic with time, and paid with money.” - Glen Hoddinott (39:25-39:30) When organic marketing isn’t enough, marketers look to paid ads on Google, Facebook, and other platforms. Facebook marketing is still one of the most effective ways for businesses to share their messages with their audiences. Retargeting strategies make it easy for you to reach more of the right customers with the right messages at the right times. Seth Pennington...

It’s not about forcing the thing you’re already doing.” - Nic Peterson (7:56-8:06) Timothy Dick Profit Layer There are countless tools and tactics that business owners can use to build their clients, market their businesses, and generate more revenue.

“Part of your process as a business owner is celebrating your clients.” - Justin Demers (8:29-8:32) Timothy Dick Profit Layer Social proof is a powerful way to demonstrate the value of your services. Testimonials, reviews, and other forms of social proof give prospective clients the confidence to say “yes” to your offer. But business owners fail to use social proof in a strategic way, so they often struggle to increase revenue and retain clients over time. Michelle and Justin Demers help entrepr...
“The mindset layer is one of the most important...

"ATMs are like little rental properties without tenants, toilets, or trash." - Carey Buck (25:59-26:02) Timothy Dick Profit Layer Success in any industry requires a commitment to persistent action.

“I look at marketing and tactics, but I also figure out what unique combination makes sense for each business.” - Timothy Dick (5:56) Timothy Dick Profit Layer Online marketing is a hamster-wheel of new techniques, engaging content, and tactic testing. Anyone in the online business world knows how overwhelming it can be to try and stay abreast of the algorithms and strategies associated with marketing to an audience.

“You want to make money and build your business. Step back and look at what you have done before that works. That’s what you should do next.” - Nic Peterson (2:02-2:15) Timothy Dick Profit Layer Keep it simple. Let’s face it. Too many entrepreneurs overcomplicate the marketing process.

“If you don’t have a good product, you can spend millions of dollars and a lot of time in marketing, but it won’t work.” - Timothy Dick Marketing is not a trendy advertising method. A lot of people think marketing is business. We have a lot of ‘experts’ and ‘gurus’ out there teaching ‘marketing.’ What they’re actually teaching is an advertising method. People often look at a certain tactic and mistake it for marketing. When you break it down, the layer of marketing is all about helping people an...
