The roast
Dan Martell spent his youth in jail and his adulthood selling a book on how to buy back your time, which is just a fancy way of saying he’s spent his entire career finding new ways to avoid actually working. He claims he’s scaling startups, but he’s really just a guy selling a time-management manual to people who don't have enough time because they’re too busy reading his posts.
About Dan
From jail cell to scaling multiple 8-figure businesses - my journey wasn't supposed to work out this way.At 17, I found myself in adult jail facing serious charges. Most people's stories like mine don't end well. But that rock bottom became my foundation.I taught myself to code, built and sold 3 tech companies, and invested in over 60 startups including Intercom, Udemy, and Unbounce. Yet my biggest success wasn't financial - it was discovering that the right guidance at the right time changes everything.That's why I created Martell Media.I've watched too many brilliant founders struggle with the same challenges:• Working 80+ hours while growth flatlines• Building a business that owns them instead of serves them• Sacrificing health and relationships for a dream that keeps moving further awaySound familiar?Since 2016, I've dedicated my life to helping founders scale their companies while buying back their time. My coaching has helped clients grow from 7 to 8 figures, implement systems that let them work 20+ fewer hours weekly, and build businesses that serve their lives - not consume them.My book "Buy Back Your Time" became a Wall Street Journal bestseller and #1 business book on Amazon because it addresses the fundamental challenge all entrepreneurs face: how to create freedom through your business, not despite it.If you're ready to scale your company while reclaiming your life, let's connect. The entrepreneurial journey is challenging enough - you don't have to figure it out alone.🔗 Join 300,000+ entrepreneurs receiving my weekly insights: https://bit.ly/3VMkoG

Smartest advice I've ever got: /1 Be easy to find, hard to reach. Be visible enough that opportunities find you. Be scarce enough that people value your time. Best time management advice I've ever received. /2 Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. Some days, answering one email is a win when your inbox is overflowing. The point? Doing it poorly is infinitely better than not doing it at all. This isn’t about lowering standards, it's about making progress. /3 NO is just a YES playing hard to get. If you ask, they might say YES. They might also say NO, but if you don't ask it's a

You're more than a job title. I've reset my own career multiple times. Each restart taught me that the path is rarely straight. What matters isn't how quickly you find your way. What matters is that you keep going until you do. Rooting for you, -DM
