Ever wonder why pirates became legends while fishermen remained... well, just fishermen?
It wasn't skill.
Many fishermen were extraordinary sailors.
It wasn't hard work.
Fishing from dawn till dusk is backbreaking labor.
It was something far more fundamental…
How they defined themselves.
The fisherman says…
"I am a man who catches fish close to shore."
The pirate declared…
"I am an adventurer who claims treasures beyond the horizon."
Same skills.
Same ocean.
Vastly different outcomes.
And I see this exact pattern play out with the entrepreneurs I work with…
When someone comes to me doing 150K, 200K, or even 300K months, and I mention scaling to 1M months, I often get the same response…
"That sounds impossible. It would take 10X the effort I'm already putting in."
"I'd be happy just making $100K profit consistently."
"A million a month is for other people, not me."
These aren't statements about capability… they're statements about identity.
The entrepreneur who sees themselves as a "250K/month person" will take very different actions than someone who embodies the identity of a "1M/month CEO."
And here's what most don't realize…
Scaling to 1M months doesn't require working 10X, 5X, or even 3X harder.
In fact, the entrepreneurs who successfully make this leap often work LESS than they did at lower revenue levels.
How is this possible?
Because scaling successfully isn't about grinding harder… it's about operating from a completely different system.
Just like pirates didn't catch more fish than fishermen (they changed the game entirely)...
Scaling entrepreneurs don't just "do more marketing"—they transform how their entire business operates.
With the right coach and framework, making this leap can actually be enjoyable, straightforward, and faster than you might imagine.
There's a method to it… a proven path that eliminates the guesswork and unnecessary struggle.
