Hey Founders & Followers,

So… we owe you a little apology 😅

Turns out working with CBA comes with some side effects:

→Followers going up… yep, totally real.
→Competitors creeping on your every move… burner accounts activated.
→Your content looking better than those influencers you hired before… oops.
→Family asking if you “finally hired a real marketing team”… guilty!

Basically, your notifications are about to go wild… and we’re not taking any responsibility 😉

Founder Series 4/4

Let’s talk about why most agencies actually fail 👇

It’s not the market. It’s not the clients. It’s because founders get in their own way.

Too many try to do it all themselves — believing growth depends only on their skills. But here’s the truth: you can’t scale you.

Scaling means building systems, plugging in the right people, and letting the process do the heavy lifting. ⚙️

💭 Reminder: You’re not meant to do everything — you’re meant to build something that runs without you.

Founder Series 3/4

Let’s be real — a lot of us started our businesses thinking: “I’ll build the plane while it’s in the air.” 🛫

But here’s the truth:
If you don’t have the infrastructure — your business becomes vulnerable. You can hustle your way to a few wins, sure… but not to sustainability.

💡 The smarter move? Build the system before you scale. Because when your foundation is solid, growth doesn’t shake you — it supports you.

✨ Build first. Scale smart.

Everyone thinks being a founder means working from cute cafés, flexible hours, and “being your own boss.”

Reality check: it’s 10PM, you’re answering emails, fixing problems no one sees, and running on caffeine and pure determination. ☕💻

Being a founder isn’t always glamorous — but it’s always worth it. 💪

Founder Series 2/4

Everyone wants to go viral and sell overnight. 🚀 But here’s the truth 👇

Success isn’t an overnight story — it’s a compound effect. It’s built from one step ➡️ another ➡️ another… each one teaching you, refining you, and preparing you for the next.

Real growth looks like:
💬 Engaging with your community
🤝 Building relationships
📈 Showing up consistently Not just “sell, sell, sell.”

✨ The wins you see online are the result of years of doing the work no one posts about.
