Josh went the aggressive advertising route when it came to building his brand and he built a million dollar run rate business in just a few months.

 

The downside is... he had a really hard time making the margins work.

 

In this conversation you'll hear one way to build a million dollar business by raising money, and having a board, and spending a lot on advertising... but he says in this conversation that he wishes he had spent more time following the 12 Months To $1 Million book strategy around organic audience growth.
