Before mentorship: A growth plateau hidden in plain sight
By the end of 2023, Revenue Labz was profitable, but stuck. Sam and his co-founder were both Visionaries - dreamers, builders, creators. But no one was executing consistently. This tension grew quietly in the background, affecting everything from delivery to client experience.
“We had two Visionaries and no Integrator. And I didn't realize how much that was holding us back until I read Rocket Fuel. It completely shifted my perspective.” — Sam Saifi
Despite generating $33.1K - $39.1K/month, the agency couldn’t grow past that mark. The team was stretched. Sam found himself in constant “overwatch” mode, checking delivery quality and firefighting across accounts - instead of building the business.
The mental load of misalignment
The real weight wasn’t just operational. It was psychological.
Sam had a gut feeling for over a year that something was wrong. But he second-guessed himself constantly. Was it him? Was he overreacting?
‍
He didn’t want to “screw over” his business partner - so he did nothing. That indecision cost him growth, time, and peace of mind. Until he found Nigel.
How Sam found Nigel (and why he took the leap)
“You were everywhere on LinkedIn. I started modeling my own content off yours. Then one day, I just messaged you.”
Sam found Nigel via organic content - and recognized someone who had already built what he wanted.

Nigel had scaled Alpha Inbound, a service-based agency, to 6-figure MRR - a level of credibility that stood out in a sea of course-sellers.

Even so, the mentorship was the biggest investment Sam had ever made.
“But I listened to my gut. You’d already been where I wanted to go. I knew you’d help me figure it out.”
What Changed: The mentorship that sparked the floodgates
In 3 months of working together, Sam made the hardest call of his life.
He ended the misaligned partnership. He freed himself from constant delivery. And he finally stepped fully into the CEO seat
Brought in the right integrator
He hired Jason (his current business partner). He built clear SOPs and a team structure. And he fully delegated service delivery.
Gained a network that kept delivering
“One of your intros became one of our favorite clients. And we still work with them today.”
Nigel connected Sam with referral partners, clients, and collaborators - many of whom are still delivering value 8+ months later.
The real difference - mentorship vs. courses
“Courses don’t have Nigel.”
Sam had taken many courses before. But nothing compared to the personal mentorship he received here.
“I could speak to someone about my exact situation. Not a one-size-fits-all course. I got a tailored plan based on who I am and what I needed.”
“There’s no way in hell I could’ve built a course for your situation.” - Nigel
What made the difference?
  1. Weekly 1:1s and heart-to-hearts
  2. Custom feedback for real problems
  3. Reassurance that Sam was already making the right decisions - he just needed to trust them
The results (before, during and after)
“It’s better than it’s ever been. Stronger than it’s ever been.”
Why Sam sent his best friends to Nigel
“I vouched for you with my own name. Told my friend: If this doesn’t work, I’ll pay half your fee myself.”
And guess what?
“He’s crushing it now.”
Every single friend Sam referred to Nigel’s next cohort had a positive transformation. That’s the difference between mentorship and “growth hacks.”
Final Reflection
“I can’t even tell you the one thing that helped most. Because there were so many. You helped in so many ways that it just… exploded the business.”
"One word to describe the Mentorship: Transformative"
Sam already knew the answer. He just needed a guide to give him the clarity and confidence to act.
If you’re on the fence
If you're stuck - operationally, mentally, or emotionally - you don’t need another playbook.You need someone who’s been there, done that, and can help you see the path you’re already halfway down...
