Day 29: Why My 30-Day Challenge Failed (And What I'm Doing Next)
Thu Jul 24 2025
Welcome back to Day 29 of my 30-day "Monetize Before You Make It" challenge!
In this raw and honest update, I'm sharing why my cold email campaign didn't go as planned and the major pivot I'm making. Sometimes failure teaches us more than success ever could.
🔥 What You'll Learn:
- Why my manufacturing-focused email campaign had low reply rates
- The technical issues I discovered that hurt my results
- My strategic pivot from manufacturing to helping in-house marketing teams
- How I'm repositioning to serve CMOs, VPs, and heads of marketing
- My new approach: A/B testing different company sizes and messaging
- Why "failure" only happens when you quit
💡 Key Takeaway: A fail never means give up. The definition of fail is the day you decide to give up and quit.
This is real entrepreneurship - messy, unpredictable, but full of learning opportunities. I'm pivoting my 4-week program to help in-house digital marketing teams become strategic thinkers and avoid layoffs.
Coming up: One-on-one founder conversations and what I've learned in 60+ days on this channel.
