Welp... I Lost Money On Black Friday
|
Such is life. You can plot and plan all you want... But reality tends to come knock your house of cards down more often than not. And that's exactly what happened this year.

Until you've spent years running your brand, testing loads of different models / lighting / setting / position, you really have no idea which piece of content is going to work as an ad. The...
I had to spend over 7 figures of my own money, and get repeatedly beaten over the head by a good friend and mentor of mine before I could finally accept this. But, now that I've fully leaned into it... I can see how every major dip in my business has been largely caused by freaking out and turning ads off.
