From Upwork to a $1M Analytics Agency


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.

She Got Paid for Her MBA Instead Matt Gira July 1st, 2025 This deep dive was an adventure to create. I was prepped to record and then a bunch of Stuart Little's decided to take over my recording studio at home. So, you all get to see what my childhood bedroom was like in this one. No, my high school trophies are not still in my bedroom. Sorry for disappointing. Enjoy this week's deep dive with Layla Pomper! Let me know what was most helpful.

Sleeping in Boats Led to This $300k Studio Matt Gira June 3rd, 2025 Quick idea I'm testing: What if I did a monthly report on bootstrapped companies? Different focus each month. Examples could be data on how founders spend their time, growth channel deep dives, the most popular tools among bootstrapped companies. Similar vibe to The Bootstrapped Report 2025. Would you pay $20/month for something like that? Would you pay $20/month for more reports on boostrapped businesses? YES. I'd buy this!...

Brandi Bernoskie didn’t set out to build a million-dollar business. In 2011, she was writing content for NASA and running a small blog on the side, mostly for herself. As she taught herself to code websites and friends started asking for help, a small side project grew into something more. A couple of key mindset shifts turned that side hustle...
