How to Monetize Your Founder Skills: Earn More in Less Time Post-Startup

Who Am I?

Hi - I'm Blake. After spending nearly a decade running my own startup and experiencing the challenges of exiting (my story here), I transformed my broad experience into a profitable consulting career. Now, I run a fractional agency / staffing company called Allsmith Growth, helping venture-backed startups with growth marketing strategies. With a family of six (soon to be seven), I understand the importance of balancing professional success with personal life.

Why Did I Create This Course?

Transitioning from a startup can be brutal, especially when the traditional job market doesn’t recognize the unique value of a founder’s broad skill set. I created this course to share the proven strategies that helped me double my income while working just 20 hours a week. My goal is to guide fellow founders through this challenging period, helping you unlock your earning potential and build a fulfilling professional life post-startup.

Challenges You May Be Facing:

• Feeling Undervalued: The traditional job market doesn’t seem to appreciate the breadth of your experience.

• Overwhelmed by the Job Search Process: Sending out resumes with little to no response is frustrating.

• Financial Pressure: You need to generate income quickly to support yourself and possibly your family.

• Uncertainty About Next Steps: You’re unsure how to leverage your startup experience in a new career path.

• Desire for Work-Life Balance: After years of intense startup life, you’re seeking a more balanced lifestyle.
