I’ve read a lot of marketing advice over the years, but Unlock the Floodgates is one of the few that actually tells you what to do next. No fluff. No theory. Just clear thinking that makes you look at your business differently every time it lands in your inbox.

This newsletter doesn’t try to impress you. It tries to make you money. Every issue gives me at least one idea I can apply the same day. That alone puts it ahead of 99% of what’s out there.

I subscribed expecting ‘tips.’ What I got was straight talk about why my phone wasn’t ringing—and how to fix it. It’s blunt, practical, and written for people who actually run businesses, not marketing agencies.

Most newsletters are easy to ignore. This one isn’t. I read this newsletter because it explains things simply and shows how small changes lead to real results. It’s become part of my weekly routine.

Sarah M.

What I like most is the honesty. No hype, no fake urgency, no ‘secret formula.’ Just smart observations about how customers actually behave and how to get more of them without wasting money.

If you’re tired of guessing why leads are inconsistent, this newsletter is worth your time. It helped me spot problems I didn’t even know I had—and fix them fast. Easily one of the most useful things I subscribe to.

I didn’t get into marketing to chase trends…

I got into it because I needed results.

Like most business owners, I learned the hard way—building, testing, breaking, and rebuilding while others sold theories. I paid attention to one thing only: what actually made phones ring.It became obvious fast.

Most businesses don’t fail because they’re bad.

They fail because growth is explained to them badly.

They’re told to “post more,” “build a brand,” and “be patient,” while the bills don’t wait.

I took a different approach.

I stopped caring about impressions and focused on calls.

I stopped chasing tactics and built systems.

If it didn’t create leads, customers, and revenue, it didn’t matter.

That thinking led to real results. Across my own businesses, client work, and student strategies, I’ve been involved in over $250 million in combined revenue—not through gimmicks, but through repeatable principles that work in the real world.

What frustrated me most was watching good business owners guess at marketing and waste money.

So I simplified everything.

Get attention from the right people.

Turn it into calls.

Turn calls into customers.

Make it predictable.

That’s why I created Unlock the Floodgates—for business owners done guessing and ready for customers on demand.

Marketing has one job:
Produce results. Or get out of the way.
