Road to $1M ARR day 40/60: blitzscaling

we bulldozed through the agency death zone

Day 41 of the $1M ARR sprint.

Blitzscaling. That’s what the last 40 days actually felt like.

When you brute force your way through scale, there’s no room for overthinking. No what ifs. Just raw execution, patience, and determination to make it work.

One of the reasons i launched this challenge was to bulldoze through the plateau every agency hits between $35K and $50K MRR.

Everyone warned me about this threshold. Where most founders close shop because they’re juggling retention, acquisition, and hiring all at once.

It’s nearly impossible to nail all three simultaneously.

But with this challenge?

We brute forced it. No hesitation. No analysis paralysis. Just momentum.

And i’m keeping this mentality to blitzscale through $1M, then $2M, $5M, and $10M.

Today’s pipeline movement shows what compounding actually looks like:

• 2 IRL meeting booked with seed stage YC founders

• 1 call with head of marketing at a scale-up

• Another scale-up booked while i was literally writing this

The excitement is building. Not gonna lie.

Everything we learned these past 40 days gave us months of competitive advantage.

What’s coming next will be 100x more enjoyable than having the sword of Damocles hanging over my head lmfao.

Two of our current clients are preparing to raise Series A rounds. When they close? They’ll increase spend with us.

That’s the beauty of picking the right partners from day one.

We also launched a new outreach campaign today.

Hyper-specific offer i can’t detail yet, but for enterprise-focused companies? This is gold. Some will pay five figures monthly for this capability.

The plateau everyone warned me about? We’re through it.

The hard part wasn’t the revenue. It was maintaining standards while everything moved at warp speed.

But we did it. Systems held. Team delivered. Quality never dropped.

ARR: $765K → Target: $1M | Days remaining: 20

See you tomorrow 👊
