Simon Severino is launching a premium 6-month program with Jay Abraham.
Expected reach: 400,000 people.
Marketing budget: $800.
$400 for a book cover.
$400 for editing.
That’s it.
No ads.
No agencies.
No funnels.
I run operations at Strategy Sprints. We help entrepreneurs grow revenue without burning out.
This episode made me pause. Here’s why it matters to you:
1. The Friday Meeting That Saves You Millions
Every Friday, Simon’s team tracks 12 KPIs.
Something always dips.
Traffic up. Conversions down? 🚨
They catch it in 90 minutes, not 6 months later when margins are gone.
Most teams track revenue. Maybe pipeline.
That’s lagging data.
Small issues quietly turn into expensive ones while you’re busy “executing.”
Ask yourself:
👉 What are you reviewing weekly that actually prevents losses?
2. Forty Friends Beat Facebook
Simon and Jay didn’t buy reach.
They borrowed trust.
Their move:
• Combined their own lists
• Asked 40 partners to share
• Each partner: ~10,000 subscribers
Do the math: 400,000 qualified prospects 📈
No algorithms.
No bidding wars.
No praying to Meta.
Ads scale costs.
Relationships scale certainty.
Where are you still renting attention instead of owning distribution?
3. When to Quit vs. When to Stay
Marie Mack shut down profitable business lines this year.
Why? The fire was gone 🔥
She waited two years for the turnaround. It never came.
Simon thinks in 15-year blocks.
He stays through the dips.
Both choices are right.
Both are wrong—if you didn’t do the deep work first.
Sprinter, be honest:
👉 Do you know who you’re here to serve?
👉 And your real superpower?
Miss that, and you’ll either quit too early—or waste years on the wrong path.
What to Watch For
If you run a consulting, finance, or tech business doing $1–5M, this hits home.
Simon breaks down his 6-month structure:
• Months 1–2: Simplify (cut the noise)
• Months 3–4: Scale what works
• Months 5–6: Build assets that run without you
Marie went from phone games at lunch to building a SaaS company.
Different paths. Same clarity.
The real question isn’t can you scale.
It’s whether you LOVE the way you are growing it, NOW. Not in the hypothetical future.
Are you having fun? Are you improving people's lives?
