Hi friend!

It's officially hoodie weather here in the Northeast and I couldn't be more excited. Be prepared to only see me in hoodies for the next 6 months in videos. Sorry not sorry.

This week's deep dive was a fun one. Proof that you can build a solid side hustle and then transition that to a full-time gig :)

Now, on to this week's deep dive.

What's one growth strategy you're curious about??

Here's this week's deep dive:

"You have no business being employed.” That’s what MaryBeth Maskovas’ future business coach told her the first time she met MaryBeth, the founder of Insight Lime Analytics.

Insight Lime Analytics is an agency that helps companies with their data strategy. In other words, they help companies measure the right data and then understand what that data is actually telling them. As you may have noticed in that opening quote, starting this agency was a bit of an accident for MaryBeth. It began as a small side hustle that grew to over $3,000 in monthly revenue. By year three, they had made over $1 million in annual revenue.

To see how MaryBeth bootstrapped Insight Lime Analytics to over $1 million in annual revenue, let's start with Mary Beth's journey into entrepreneurship, how she started Insight Lime Analytics, and then go through all the growth strategies that they've been using to grow to $1 million in annual revenue.
