Owner of Copyblogger and Stodzy Inc. Teaching you how to build businesses with content. Join my content marketing community ↓

It took me 15 years for my first agency to hit 7 figures. 

I sold it in 2023.  My next agency hit $1M in 8 months. 

Those first 15 years taught me a lot about growing a service business. 

I learned the pains of not knowing:
- Where my next client was coming from 
- How to navigate sales calls
- Which marketing efforts worked
- How to scale growth predictably 

But one by one, I found solutions to these problems. 

Today, I’ve constructed those solutions into a battle tested system that consistently attracts and converts my dream customers. 

It’s the exact system I’ve used to take Quantum Leads from $0 to 7 figures in 8 months. 

Now, I am booking calls and closing deals regularly, all because I took the time to learn how to book sales calls through content and lead generation.

I realized I’m not the only person struggling with these problems. So I decided to share my system with other service business owners through Copyblogger Academy. 

Inside the Copyblogger Academy, you’ll learn:

- How to choose the right marketing channels
- How to attract leads from that channel
- How to do outbound in a way that feels genuine

Once you’ve implemented the system and are attracting leads, I’m happy to give you more one on one coaching through the Sales Accelerator.

Inside, I’ll walk you through the process of navigating sales calls and closing clients in a way that feels natural, not salesy. 

Copyblogger Academy is the solution I wish I had 10 years ago. If it sounds interesting, you can join through the link in my bio. I'll see you on the timeline.

Writing words to scale businesses | Copywriter | Engineer

Who picks up a completely new field after years of studying something else?

Someone who is tired of feeling stuck despite doing everything “right.”

I have a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering and a Master’s in Environmental Engineering—degrees I earned with the hope of stepping into a meaningful career. But after leaving a hectic job, the job market had other plans. Months turned into years, and every rejection chipped away at the confidence those degrees once gave me.

Yet, life has a way of redirecting you towards what actually fits.

During my master’s, I first came across GIS—just a tool at the time, nothing more. But the more I explored it later, the more I realised it wasn’t just a tool. It was a whole ecosystem of problem-solving: mapping environmental challenges, analysing satellite data, modelling water quality, understanding land use, and making decisions grounded in real spatial intelligence.

Suddenly, things started to click.

The blend of my engineering background and environmental knowledge found its missing piece—geospatial skills.

So I went back to the basics.
Free courses, long YouTube tutorials, late-night practice sessions, repeating the same workflow until it felt natural. Spatial data, projections, raster analysis, remote sensing—all of it became a part of my routine.

And the more I learned, the more I realised GIS wasn’t just a career option.
It was the path I had been trying to find all along.

It merged everything I cared about: environment, technology, research, problem-solving and gave me the kind of direction I hadn’t felt in years.

Today, I’m building my GIS skill set step by step—QGIS, remote sensing fundamentals, satellite-based water quality analysis, spatial modelling, and preparing myself for a future I can finally see clearly.

A future where I don’t just look for a job…
But build a career that aligns with who I actually am.

The journey hasn’t been linear.
Or easy.
Or predictable.

But it has been purposeful.

And I’m just getting started.
