Like many great things, the 7 Mile Academy was created out of necessity. For the last five years, we have been helping 7-figure businesses scale to 8-figure businesses through our agency: 7 Mile Media. But we pushed a lot of people away.
Quite frankly, most businesses were not ready to take on an agency like ours.
*They were
undercapitalized.
*The operations side
of their business was a mess.
*Their revenue
was too low.
So we would give them some resources and kindly ask them to come back in six months when they were more established. And that worked well for us.
But we always had this nagging feeling. This question we couldn’t answer:
“Where could they go to get to the next level?”
There really wasn’t an easy answer.
- Most lower-end agencies were terrible. Most courses were outdated.
- Most of the experts online were not actually experts at all.
This didn’t leave a whole lot of options for these business owners. And we felt bad about it.
So one day we decided: enough is enough.
We decided we were going to build the solution we needed.
An incubator of sorts…
A place where small to medium- sized businesses could learn the things they needed to grow.
Quickly, profitably, and sustainably.
And the only way we knew how to accomplish that was by combining three elements:
Experts
Education
Live Coaching and Consulting
So we brought together a combination of outside experts and people from inside 7 Mile Media.
All experts from today, not last year or ten years ago.
Even the outside experts had to be vetted.
They worked with our 7 Mile Media clients first, so we could see their results.
Only then did they pass the test to teach in the Academy.
Now we have the ultimate solution for all businesses that want to scale using digital marketing.
Small business: cost-effective and move at your own pace.
Medium business: Have your team join the Academy and implement what the masters are doing.
Large business: Just one new learned strategy could turn into millions at your level of scale.
So welcome to the 7 Mile Academy.
The solution your business has been looking for to launch, optimize, or scale.
