Houston Golden is the founder and CEO of BAMF.com — a growth marketing agency based in Venice Beach, CA.

BAMF is known as the world's leading LinkedIn marketing agency for a reason— they get results. 

With over half a billion organic LinkedIn views, our clients are the most viewed people on LinkedIn. If you’ve spent any time at all on LinkedIn, you’ve seen their posts.

They are the masterminds behind some of LinkedIn’s top influencers and entrepreneurs, including Russell Brunson, Rob Dyrdek, Prince Ea, Mark Manson, Jay Shetty, and dozens more.

But, beyond that, Houston is most passionate about helping smaller entrepreneurs make it big, whether it’s by turning them into industry influencers and lead generation machines, or putting them in a position to hit massive growth.

Houston has authored 5 books on the subject of LinkedIn, known as The LinkedIn Bible Collection, been featured in countless high-profile publications, consulted for Fortune 500 companies, and still remains to be an avid surfer and all-around family man. 

He does all of this because he, too, started out as a struggling entrepreneur before turning $0 in seed capital into a business that’s worth millions of dollars.

From bootstrapping to being recognized as one of Forbes’ Top 12 Innovative Founders. It’s been a wild journey for him.

The best people I’ve worked with don’t need to be managed.

They manage themselves.

They don’t wait for permission, they take responsibility.

They don’t need constant direction, they seek clarity and move.

They don’t clock in for approval.

They show up for impact.

Self-management isn’t about ego.

It’s about ownership.

When people care about the outcome as much as the leader does,

That’s when a company stops running on control.

And starts running on trust.

Some of the best things I’ve built came from what looked like “bad timing.”

Too late to start an agency.

Too late to build on LinkedIn.

Too late to get in on AI.

But here’s the thing, people confuse being early with being prepared.

Timing helps.

But momentum is built by showing up ready.

Late just means you had time to sharpen your skills, get clarity, and make smarter moves.

While others burned out trying to be first, you can outlast them by being better.

The market doesn’t reward the fastest.

It rewards the most consistent.

So if you’re feeling behind today, take a breath.

You’re not losing. You’re loading.

Let’s build. 👊

The goals that actually change your life?
​
They demand a different level of commitment.
​
Here’s what’s helped me stay locked in:
​
→ I stop negotiating with myself.
If it’s on my calendar, it gets done.
No debates.
​
→I work in 90-minute blocks.
No tabs. No Slack. No half-working.
Just one target.
​
→I make my goals visible.
On my wall. On my phone.
Everywhere. If I see it, I remember why it matters.
​
→I protect my energy.
That means sleep, training, and saying “no” a lot more often.
​
→ And the big one:
I remind myself who benefits when I follow through.
My team. My family. My future self.
​
Distractions aren’t the enemy.
​
Forgetting what you’re building is.

Negativity isn’t just a mood.

It’s momentum.

One bad vibe doesn’t stay in one corner of your life.

It leaks into how you show up, how you lead, how you think.

It drains creative energy.

It clouds decision-making.

It makes wins feel smaller and losses feel bigger.

And the worst part?

It feels productive at first.

Like you’re “processing” or “being real.”

But most of the time, you’re just stewing in a loop that was never yours to begin with.

I’ve learned this the hard way.

From people, from clients, from habits I thought I needed to keep.

Now, I move faster.

If it’s not aligned, I redirect it.
If it’s draining me, I pause it.
If it’s toxic, I cut it.

Protect your headspace like it’s revenue. Because it is.

Clearer vibes = clearer strategy.

And no one builds something lasting from a foggy mind.

Life feels heavy?
​
Business dragging?
​
Nothing going your way?
​
Zoom out.
​
Someone out there would trade places with you in a second.
​
That doesn’t make your problems fake.
It just makes them manageable.
​
When I feel stuck, I don’t chase motivation.
​
I remind myself I still have options.
Still have energy.
Still have the shot.
​
Gratitude isn’t soft.
​
It’s fuel.
​
If you’re in it right now, keep going. You're not done yet.

I’ve made a few big jumps in my life.
​
Some worked.
​
Some didn’t.
​
But every one taught me the same thing:
​
You don’t grow by staying comfortable.
​
The hardest part isn’t the plan.
​
It’s the moment before you move.
​
That tiny pause where your brain lists every disaster that might happen.
​
But you need to trust you’ll figure out the details once you’re in it.
​
Every leap felt huge at the time.
​
But on the other side, I always wondered why I waited.
​
If you’re standing at the edge of something right now, here’s your nudge:
​
Start small.
Start messy.
Start scared.
​
Just start.
​
Momentum only shows up after you jump.

There’s a point in every founder’s journey where the business gets bigger and your life gets smaller.

I hit that point fast.

I kept telling myself, “It’ll calm down after this launch.”

Then another project popped up.
Another client.
Another idea.
The workload never actually slowed. It just shifted.

So I stopped waiting for balance to magically show up.

I set boundaries instead.
Real ones.

Hard stops.

Clear hours.

Time I wouldn’t trade away.

I quit stuffing every empty minute with work.

Funny enough, my best ideas started showing up when I wasn’t trying so hard.

I focused on being fully present.

If I’m with my kids, I’m with them.

No mental tab open in the background.

And I leaned on my team more.

Trusting them didn’t break anything.

It made everything stronger.

Here’s the lesson that stuck with me:

Balance isn’t something you stumble into.

It’s something you build on purpose.

And once you protect it, both your life and your business get better.

I’ve built enough things to know this:

The hit you didn’t see coming is usually the one that wakes you up.

It forces you to rethink your assumptions.
It humbles you.
It sharpens your instincts.

And if you let it, it grows you in ways success never could.

I don’t romanticize failure.

It sucks.

But I’ve learned to meet it with curiosity instead of panic.

What is this trying to show me?
What skill is it forcing me to build?
What version of me is it pushing me toward?

When something unexpected lands in your lap, you don’t have to fight it.

Sometimes the smarter move is to dance with it,

Adjust your rhythm,

And let it shape you into someone stronger and more aware.

That’s where real growth happens.

I stumbled into LinkedIn ghostwriting in 2017 by accident.

For the first few months of BAMF, I posted everywhere.

Then my LinkedIn content started going viral when nobody else was even posting here.

I made one decision: stop posting everywhere else.

I went all in on this platform.

134,000+ followers.
Half a billion impressions.
And 8 years later...

Here's the framework that changed everything for me:

• Pick one platform (LinkedIn for me)
• Show up daily, no exceptions
• Build relationships before pitching anything
• Create content that solves real problems
• Give away your best ideas for free
• Ask for nothing in return (at first)
• Let people see your process
• Document wins and losses publicly
• Turn conversations into clients
• Package your expertise into systems

The pattern I see with founders who win on LinkedIn:

They stop treating it like a marketing channel.

They start treating it like a relationship engine.

Most founders I work with have incredible products. They just don't have a system for turning their expertise into consistent visibility.

You don't need a massive audience.

You need the right people paying attention.

Start with one post. One conversation. One person who gets what you're building.

Then do it again tomorrow.

That's how authority compounds.
