Some of the best businesses start organically —by solving a real problem.Jordan Saniuk's business was no different. As a realtor, Jordan had trouble selling a property and noticed a bigger issue: Realtors needed a better way to connect. So, he created a platform where they could share listings, price reductions, bonuses, and more. Realtors loved it, and within a year, Jordan's idea grew to 500 clients and 43,000 subscribers. In our latest podcast episode, Jordan shares how he built this business from scratch and sold it for six figures—all in just 12 months. Jordan opens up about the challenges he encountered while scaling his business and the tools and techniques that helped him succeed. One of the keys to Jordan's success was his effective use of email marketing. He found a way to connect with potential clients without overwhelming them, building trust and credibility along the way. But Jordan didn't stop at digital marketing. He also tapped into the power of in-person networking. Jordan explains, “Lots of people want to start an online business and market it through social media and paid online ads, but there's no replacement for in-person networking. Telling people about what you're doing in real life, getting them excited about it, and having them tell other people. Real social proof of concept is much more powerful than reposting someone's story on Instagram.” This mix of online and offline efforts gave Jordan's business the edge it needed to fuel its explosive growth. After just one year, Jordan decided to sell the business—a big move that came with valuable lessons of its own. Tune into this episode to hear how Jordan turned a simple idea into a six-figure success story. Topics Discussed in this episode: Jordan's background and how he became a digital entrepreneur (02:13) The power of email as a growth tool (06:10) How Jordan scaled his email list to 43,000 subscribers in just one year (09:00) The challenges Jordan faced as he rapidly grew his business (18:19) Why Jordan decided to sell his business (26:55) The untapped power of direct mail (34:19) What has changed for Jordan since he sold this business (38:30) What Jordan would have done differently if he had to start again (43:11) Jordan's advice to first-time business sellers (45:43) Mentions:  Empire Flippers Podcasts Empire Flippers Marketplace Create an Empire Flippers account Subscribe to our weekly newsletter Postoff.ca Sit back, grab a coffee, and learn how effective email marketing helped build a six-figure business in just one year!

In this episode of PivotMe, April shares a powerful conversation with Tisha, a business owner caught in the whirlwind of “getting everything perfect” before officially launching. April dismantles the common trap of prioritizing logos, websites, and speeches over the one thing that matters most: serving clients. If you're a business owner who feels stuck in endless preparation, this episode will help you refocus on what truly drives success—delivering value and asking for the business. Key Points: The “Perfect Setup” Trap: Tisha's story illustrates how entrepreneurs can get bogged down with non-essential tasks like logo tweaks, website edits, or speech writing. These activities often serve as a distraction from the real goal—gaining and serving clients. Getting Back to Basics: Business only thrives when you're actively doing business. Focusing on branding, marketing, or operational details is important, but not at the expense of serving clients and fulfilling your core mission. Understanding the Goal Behind the Goal: Why do we build logos, websites, and speeches? To attract clients. April challenges listeners to stop overcomplicating this process and focus instead on the direct path: connecting with potential clients and asking for their business. Ego and Confidence in the Way: Entrepreneurs often seek perfection in branding to feel “ready,” but this can be a mask for fear or a lack of confidence. April shares the story of a coach running a $400K business without a website or social media presence, proving that perfection isn't a prerequisite for success. Building a business isn't about how polished your branding is—it's about delivering value to your clients. April encourages listeners to strip away the distractions, focus on their core offering, and prioritize asking for the business. Your clients don't need a perfect website—they need your expertise.   Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

Are you struggling to grow your business and wondering how to stand out in a crowded marketplace? In today's competitive environment, building a strong personal brand has become an essential tool for entrepreneurs, leaders, and business owners to differentiate themselves and drive growth. Personal branding goes beyond having a logo or a website—it's about building a reputation that resonates with your audience and establishes trust. In this episode of Fordify LIVE, Rory Vaden, co-founder of Brand Builders Group, dives into the critical role that personal branding plays in business growth and long-term success. Personal branding is not just for influencers or celebrities; it's a powerful asset for any business leader looking to expand their reach. Rory emphasizes that people don't just buy products or services—they buy into the people behind them. Your personal brand serves as the bridge between who you are and the value you provide to your audience. If you're looking to build a brand that attracts the right clients and generates more opportunities, the discussion with Rory outlines why focusing on personal branding is one of the smartest moves you can make for your business. One of the key challenges business owners face is finding clarity in their messaging. Rory's insights into personal branding highlight the importance of defining your unique value and being intentional about how you communicate it. By focusing on your core message, your personal brand can become a powerful tool for cutting through the noise and connecting with the people who matter most to your business. It's not about being everything to everyone, but rather, being clear about who you are and what you stand for. When your personal brand reflects your authentic self, it becomes a magnet for clients, customers, and opportunities. Rory also discusses how building a personal brand goes hand in hand with credibility. It's one thing to have expertise, but it's another to communicate it effectively to the right audience. A strong personal brand does just that—it signals authority, trust, and reliability. Rory shares how even the most successful entrepreneurs and executives invest in personal branding as a way to continually build their influence and create lasting connections with their audience. Your personal brand is the key to establishing a strong professional presence that positions you as a leader in your industry. In addition to building credibility, personal branding also accelerates business growth by creating a foundation for long-term relationships. When people trust your brand and believe in your message, they're more likely to remain loyal and recommend your services to others. Rory explains how personal branding is not a one-time effort; it's an ongoing process of refining your message, expanding your reach, and consistently delivering value. This approach leads to exponential growth, as your personal brand continues to evolve and attract more opportunities over time. The conversation with Rory underscores the importance of personal branding as a strategic investment in your business. As more entrepreneurs recognize the value of branding themselves, those who take the time to build their personal brand now will be better positioned to grow their influence and achieve long-term success. By honing in on your story, your message, and the value you bring to the table, you can create a brand that not only drives business growth but also sets you apart from the competition. Watch the full episode on YouTube. If you've been wondering how to elevate your business and make a lasting impact in your industry, investing in personal branding is the way forward.
