THE STORY

When I was 23 I decided to buy a Taco Del Mar restaurant… I knew I had made a huge mistake at 2pm the first day when only 3 customers had walked in… (and two of them were my parents haha) For 5 years I worked hard to grow sales every way I could think of and in the end, tripled our revenue which still didn't seem to matter on the profit side. (I lost a lot of money)

The one thing that I seemed to be the best at in the restaurant endeavour was the marketing and getting people in the door.

Fast forward to 2014 when my wonderful wife Carmen (definitely my better half) started a modest baby clothing line and was selling at craft markets. I asked if I could test running a few ads on Facebook… and the rest is history. I learned every up and coming strategy and tactic and helped grow the small start-up to a multi-million dollar company and still growing!

Over the years I have realized what I am good at and what I'm not.

What I'm good at… Marketing and helping others scale their businesses. Which leads me to now.

In 2019 we started the podcast "secrets to scaling your e-commerce brand" which is now in the top 50 business/marketing podcasts in multiple countries including Canada and the United States.

On top of that we founded Mindful Marketing Co. to help scale brands, stores and makers using paid marketing. I love to see brands grow and founders shift from grinding to scaling… it's what gets me out of bed in the morning!

Show notes

SHOW NOTES

Good Note : Moving offline events online and generating over 150k a month in online course sales

Bad Note : Recovering from the adversity of being in the London Terror attack

Practice Makes Perfect : Look inwards to the things that you find easy. Just because you find it easy, doesn't mean others do as well

THE STORY

Within the space of 1 year, I lost my Dad to suicide and survived one of the worst terror attacks London has ever seen. I thought I had experienced real adversity when my successful acting career completely crashed a few years earlier. I literally went from working alongside Tom Hardy on Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, to delivering Tom's mail as a full time postman. But losing my Dad to suicide was the thing that nearly crushed me completely.

Using my mindset expertise and self-development knowledge, I went from being a full time postman to building The Coaching Masters. A highly successful, online coaching academy that generates multiple 7figures. Myself and my business partners (Lewis Raymond Taylor & Jonny Mitchell) have created this level of success entirely via building, selling and automating online courses and hosted an iTunes Top10 Podcast called The Coaching Masters Podcast delivering emotional, motivational speeches on stages all across the world.

I want to inspire people to achieve success even in the face of devastating adversity. No matter who they are or where they come from. I have the story, tools and techniques to help motivate anyone towards success and I want to share that gift with as many people as possible by showing them the power of coaching. I've lived through devastating adversity and I've managed to create success, happiness and fulfilment. And I continue to live it every single day.

WHR 2.12 : Nathan Hirsch Jun 08, 2020

Show notes

I started off selling textbooks in my dorm room before discovering Amazon. I scaled a 25 million dollar Amazon business selling toys and baby products, but always struggled to hire help. College kids were unreliable and no US adults wanted to work for a 20 year old entrepreneur. One day a friend of mine introduced me to the virtual hiring space and I became addicted. I set out to build a virtual assistant army, but quickly got frustrated with the poor quality and time commitment it took to hire on Upwork. I set out to build a better marketplace that pre-vetted virtual assistants before they were allowed on the platform, quickly matched them up with clients, had 24/7 support in case the smallest thing went wrong, and a no turnover protection where we covered replacement costs if someone quit.

Good Note : The story of selling a business.

Bad Note : Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Band : What jobs to delegate.

How to get fans : Meet new people, appear on podcasts and create new content.

Filling the hat : Try lots of things that don't cost a lot. Stop doing the ones that don't work and double down on the ones that do work.
