I almost got eaten by a cheetah in Thailand…

Hey,
I was in Thailand—and while I was there, I visited a petting zoo.
Not just any zoo.
A big cat petting zoo.
Sounded fun in theory…
Until I was up close and personal with a cheetah.
There it was, in all its glory, just chilling.
And there I was—about to sh*t bricks the closer I got.
But as I started to pet it (with the zookeeper guiding me), I noticed something…
He was calm.
Actually, he was so calm, I became calm.
And that’s when I realized something:
The only reason I was able to do something that would normally scare the hell out of me…
Was because I had an expert right next to me.
If he weren’t there?
I’d either be dinner… or a chew toy. 😅
It reminded me a lot of what I do in the marketing world.
I’ve seen entrepreneurs struggle, stress, and stall.
Not because they’re not smart…
But because they’re trying to pet the cheetah alone.
They’re guessing their way through marketing—
Boring presentations, confused messaging, targeting everyone and no one at the same time…
And the worst part?
They refuse to get help.
It’s painful to watch.
They’re getting mauled in the marketing jungle—
Low leads, low sales, high stress.
Totally the opposite of why most of us got into business:
Freedom, leverage, and fulfillment.
But here’s the truth:
When you have someone who’s done it before—
Who’s guided others successfully…
Everything changes.
Which brings me to Ozan—someone I’m incredibly proud of.
He met me in 2018.
Back then, he couldn’t even sell a $2,000 website.
When I ran group coaching for $500, he didn’t even have enough to pay upfront…
But I saw something in him—so I gave him a payment plan.
After learning the skills, he ran an ad campaign for a client and—with less than $5 in ad spend—helped them get 3 new customers.
He took that momentum and scaled his agency to $50K/month.
Then he went on to lead a call centre that sold WSQ courses—government-sponsored ones—for $5,000 each.
Even though it’s "easy" to sell because the government pays 70% of the course fee… scaling a business to $1–$1.5 million/month in sales is still no joke.
Now?
He’s part of my team—coaching my clients and guiding entrepreneurs through the same growth journey he went through.
