Feels like a long time since I started a progress thread, so this is well overdue.
This will be about documenting the next few years, although I think hitting 7-figures will be possible within the first year.
So what is going on...
Web design side
Well, since starting the Fox Web School I have cut back on building websites. With the school running at full speed it was not really possible.
But this year I am teaming up again with a really cool designer that I have been mentoring personally.
The short version is that he builds the websites and I sell them.
A recent project that just went live is... Time To Build by Tom Noske - Turn Your Passion Into Your Personal Brand
This site did over $300k in sales within its first week live (they just did a launch) so it is cool to know we can get some big results.
We also have results with people like Paddy Galloway (top Youtube strategist) and Lewis Howes.
So the niche here will be online coaches, educators, personal brands etc.
I am pretty sure we can become a top agency in this space and leverage the work we have done super well.
The Education side
Separate to all of this I have been growing a decent personal brand on Instagram.
The page has been doing well and is now up to 208k subs...
Sometimes you hit a nice little run with views too...
Last year I uploaded as regularly as I could, but I had a lot going on and we also had our first child.
So this year... it is time to step things up and build more of a professional brand with real products/services to offer people.
I offered a little bit of coaching last year, but I missed the format and massively undercharged.
What I hope to do next is make 99% hands off products that people can use to grow their own online business.
Things like templates, sales systems, contracts, etc.
Overall Goal
With both firing well together there could be a nice feedback loop...
- A solid agency offering top-notch personal branding services
- A personal brand where I show what works and sell great products to help others do the same.
These two help to feed off each other, which makes it fun to build.
The 3-5 year goal here is a business that can make a few clean million profit a year that I can roll into other areas.
And help a lot of people along the way with something that feels good to provide + gets them great results.
As we all know - both web agencies and online education have a lot of snakes... but this makes being a legit brand even more powerful.

Next up...
We are working on the agency website (and name ha!) and should have it up and running in a few weeks.
I'm also building my first product for the Instagram audience and have a great idea that I haven't seen before.
It's to provide 100-200 email templates for running an online creative business + the training to know how to best use them.
I'll share more about the launch of this product when it happens. Hopefully it goes well.
Also, here is the audience growth so far this year (I started a little late in Jan)
(The email lists I clean up a lot so could be way higher, but Id rather remove low quality leads)

Ah one last thing - last year was 500k with everything all in (coaching, courses, partnerships).
So with a clean up and a step up it should be possible to do 7-figures by years end.
@Envision helped me a lot with mindset last year too (his coaching program)... so I feel now I have to ha!
