I’m trying to grow my businesses bigger and faster this year, so I’ve been paying people smarter than me to help.

Here’s what I’ve invested in and why:

I’m pretty confident in my YouTube title skills, but my thumbnail game is weak.

So I bought @Ed_FilmBooth's thumbnail course and @theJayAlto's Thumbnail Bundle.

Both were fantastic and in January I set a new record for views on my channel.

To help increase retention on my videos, I hired @GeorgeBlackman_ to review one of my scripts.

I thought I was a good writer, but he tore my script apart (in a great way).

He identified some mistakes that I make in pretty much every script and showed me how to fix them.

Creator Hooks has over 20,000 subscribers (yay), but I feel like I’m not making enough money from the business as I could (boo).

So I booked a 1-on-1 call with @justinmooretfam to help me improve my monetization.

10/10 would recommend.

Speaking of Creator Hooks, I built Creator Hooks Pro (my viral video database), all by myself — and it showed.

So I hired @_docwilliams and his team to build a new database and it’s amazing.

It's a much better experience and my customers are happier.

As a solopreneur I’m the CEO, CMO, CTO, CFO… all the c’s and o’s.

I joined @jayclouse's community last year and whenever I have a question, there are 200 other c and o folks to help.

Not to mention, I’ve met some pretty amazing people in there.
