Get my FREE course on how to make $10K/mo with an AI Marketing Agency (used to be $3K) - https://start.imperiumacquisition.com... - If it’s your first time here, I’m Charlie Morgan. I’m the founder of Imperium Acquisition. You can check us out here imperiumacquisition.com. It’s a services and advisory firm for agencies, coaches & consultants, which is a fancy way of saying we help agency owners, coaches & consultants scale and grow. Right now we make around $10M/year. With this being the internet, I could make any old story up, so I wanted to give you my bio-by-the-years-story, so you can verify I’m legit. Here’s my story: 17: Video game addict, hardcore loser, clueless teen! 18: Go to college (university) for 6 months, drop out, start a biz. 19: Start an apprenticeship, work on business during the apprenticeship. First $10k month. 20: Finish apprenticeship, go all in on “NorthFlow Consulting” with a biz partner. 21: $100k months selling DFY. This is where I actually became a millionaire. Yay. 22: COVID-19 hits. Lose every single client. Literally back to ZERO. Nay. Dark times. 23: Start Imperium, teaching still-alive agencies cold outreach. Back to $100k months. 24: Scaling Imperium, first $500k month, YouTube channel in full swing. 25: Start working with coaches too, launch official info-product, scale to $700k/mo. 26: Move to Dubai, hit $900k/mo, stabilise & lean things out to be as profitable as possible. 27: Move back to the UK, still at $10M/year, starting to aggressively scale. Today: I’m at $10M/year, and have been for some time I’m a liquid multi-millionaire many times over and have made $40M between 18-27. I’m now in a season of aggressive scale and pushing for the $50M/year benchmark, while trying to retain 50% margins. It’s hard, and it sucks a lot, but I really enjoy it and derive a lot of meaning and fulfilment from this journey. The bigger the mountain, the more interesting the climb. That’s what I’m doing with this channel, just documenting what I’m learning on the way and giving you (what I hope to be) valuable insights that might help you climb your mountain (whether it’s smaller or bigger than mine). Keep moving forward!
