The Six-Figure Sprint: How I Stopped Surviving and Started Growing

Written by John Bellamy

Ever found yourself wondering: “Why does running my business feel so damn hard?”

If so, you're not alone — I’ve been there too.

When I first started out, I thought the path to success was to do it all. Wear every hat. Be across every detail. Hustle harder than everyone else.

The result?

Burnout, busywork, and that constant feeling like you’re spinning your wheels but not really getting ahead.

It was only after hitting the wall (twice) that I realised something had to change. And fast.

The Realisation That Changed Everything

Running a business shouldn’t feel like survival mode. But for most small business owners I meet, that’s exactly what it becomes — a day-to-day scramble just to keep things going.

What I discovered — and what now forms the backbone of everything we do at Chat To Clients — is that growth doesn't come from adding more. It comes from doing less... but better.

Let me walk you through the three shifts that helped us build a simple, repeatable system — one that added our next six figures and became the foundation we continue to grow from, again and again.

Shift 1: Simplify Your Operations

I ditched the patchwork of spreadsheets, free tools, and endless browser tabs. Instead, I implemented one CRM system that pulled everything together — from lead tracking and follow-up to automated marketing.

It instantly gave me back hours each week. More importantly, it gave me a clear picture of what was working — and what wasn’t.

Shift 2: Get Clear on Strategy

No more jumping from one shiny object to the next. I got focused on a simple, repeatable marketing and sales system. I knew my numbers, tracked my results, and stopped guessing.

We built a process for buying new customers — profitably. And the growth followed.

Shift 3: Don’t Go It Alone

I stopped being a one-man army and built a small but mighty support network. Tech help, admin support, and some trusted coaches who helped me stay on track.

This freed me up to do the work that actually grew the business — serving clients and building relationships.

What If You Were Just 90 Days Away from a Completely Different Business?

I know it might sound like a big claim. But I’ve seen it happen — over and over again.

Here’s what’s possible in 90 days with the right plan in place:

  • Your inbox filled with warm, qualified leads

  • A clear marketing plan that’s simple to execute

  • Time back in your week to focus on clients, not admin chaos

  • Revenue that grows — without burning you out

Let me share a few quick examples:

"Before working with John, our business was like a rollercoaster. Some months were good, some were a nightmare. Since putting the 5-Minute Conversion System in place, we now have consistent leads every week. We doubled our revenue and it feels like a real business again, not a gamble." — Nick, Roofing Company Owner
"I was trying everything — networking events, social media posting, chasing referrals — but nothing was consistent. After John and the team installed the 5-Minute Conversion System, leads started coming in every single day. I finally had a real pipeline to work with and closed 5 new clients in the first 60 days." — Natalie, Beauty & Waxing Salon Owner
"John helped us create a system that actually works. We didn’t just get more leads — we closed more clients. Best investment we made in our business by far." — Andre, Pressure Washing Company Owner

So, What’s the Catch?

There isn’t one. You don’t need to be a tech wizard. You don’t need to spend 8 hours a day on marketing. You just need:

  • A simple plan

  • The right systems

  • Support you can actually count on

That’s what we build inside the Six-Figure Sprint — a 90-day plan to help service-based small business owners stop guessing and start growing.
