welcome to early growth school


Let's flipping go!

You're getting this email because you're a previous subscriber of the now obsolete AI versus Marshy.

In case you missed it - here's the farewell post.

You're now getting the new version of the email - early growth school - which is designed to give early-stage founders clarity around their growth efforts with continuous tips, lessons, direction, and advice on what to focus on.

If that sounds terrible and not up your alley - please click this DNW button - it is absolutely fine.

And if you want to stay for the ride...

Here's what to expect:

  • More frequent emails like this
  • Coaching lessons shared from working with other founders
  • Offers to work with me more closely like the GTM Accelerator - I work with founders for 6 weeks to help them get their next dream client, and only get paid 80% of my fee upon them succeeding

Later in the week I'll share my latest takedown on landing pages for founders, and you'll probably see more red button on the next few emails - I only want you on here if you WANT to be on here.

Over and out,
-Marshy

a tierlist for growth channels. Have you heard of tier lists? They’re very common in gaming world. Influencers like to put together lists ranking characters, items, or selections and opine on them. I had a quieter week as I work through a project exension and thought: Do you know what the world needs? A tierlist for growth channels for startups. But not just any tierlist, but grabbing and ranking the channels from the book Traction. Written in 2015 Here’s the channels from the book: •...

doing the work. “So you’ve done the work…” I met Mel Greblo through my work in the impact space. She does a number of amazing things, including founding Banksia Academy. A destination for helping women create their own employment pathways to help remove themselves and recover from domestic violence. She now leads Humans of Purpose. “Oh yes, I have.” If you read into the question literally - you can ask things like: what work? in what context? is it this or that? what kind of work? But if...
