Plenty of gurus promise proven systems for raking in cash. The problem is that most gurus don’t actually produce real results.

In 2014, The Oracles member Josh Harris found himself shivering under blankets and scraping the bottom of his bank account during one of Michigan’s coldest winters on record. He could barely afford to turn the heat on because he was desperately trying—and failing—to scale his small digital marketing agency.

No matter what he did, it never seemed to scale the business and he was only collecting small fees from demanding clients.

“Eventually, I realized I was settling for ‘good enough’ instead of pushing myself for more and I knew that I needed to commit fully to my success,” Harris says.

Back against the wall, he dumped his old playbook, which consisted of cold calling prospects and working on a per-project basis with local clients. He started using different online channels to find, qualify, and sell to high-ticket clients across the country. And his results were stunning.

Within a few months, he scaled to a $40,000 predictable monthly revenue. Today, Harris earns more than $2 million per year
