Nick Sjolinder had nothing but a great idea when he came to me for private mentoring about 6 months ago.
Now he has a beautiful prototype and $283,714 from 1,873 backers on his Kickstarter campaign! And he has an even bigger email list of people interested in buying his product when it's available.
Nick has made amazing progress in a short amount of time.
He deserves all of the credit, and he executed so quickly on nearly all of my recommendations!
His fast execution and my guidance was a powerful combination that allowed him to reach this level of success much faster than most do.
I'm so excited for Nick, and I'm proud to be an advisor. His product is called BYOK: The Ultimate Distraction-Free Writing Tool. Check out his campaign here.
