Charlie pulls back the curtain on how he scaled a business centered around in-person events by mastering digital marketing, automation, and a "Lego-building" mindset. This episode is a masterclass for any entrepreneur who wants to understand the power of systems, the truth about marketing (spoiler: it's all experimentation), and how to leverage technology like AI not to replace people, but to reduce stress and scale your impact. Tune in to learn how Charlie turned a simple, descriptive idea into a well-oiled machine that serves communities across the nation.💡 What You'll Take Away For YOUR BusinessThe "McDonald's Process": Learn how to systematize even the most customized services in your business to ensure consistency, save time, and scale efficiently.Marketing is Just Experimentation: Why even high-end ad agencies don’t have a "golden nugget" and how your best strategy is relentless trial and error driven by data, not personal opinion.Scale Without Burnout: Discover Charlie's philosophy on using AI and automation to reduce the workload and stress on your team, allowing you to grow volume with the same number of happy employees.The Power of Simplicity: Understand why sometimes the best business name is the one that simply and clearly describes what you do (like WorkshopsForRetirement.com!).Bootstrapping from Zero: Get inspired by Charlie's story of starting his business with no money while living in his friend's sister's old room, proving that resourcefulness beats resources.Listen to the Market: Hear why trying to force your own beliefs on your business is a path to failure, and why the most successful entrepreneurs adapt to what the market is telling them.📝 About Charlie Klarskov Charlie Klarskov is the founder of WorkshopsForRetirement.com, a company that promotes educational events to help local communities with retirement planning. Originally from a pig farm in Denmark, Charlie moved to the US at 19 with a dream of working in finance in Beverly Hills—a dream he quickly achieved. However, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to branch out on his own, building a business that brilliantly merges the power of digital marketing and automation with the high-touch, human connection of in-person events. Charlie offers a unique perspective on building a fully remote team, scaling a service-based business, and embracing technology to create a more efficient and less stressful work environment.🎯 Charlie’s BEST Piece of Advice for Wantrepreneurs and Entrepreneurs "Go with your gut feeling... Don't worry about what other people are thinking, let them worry about that. Go with your own flow."📢 Memorable Quotes"It's a little bit like it's fun playing with Legos, taking different things, putting them together and you can build whatever you want pretty much. I feel the same way with my business." – Charlie Klarskov"What I found is that the only way to find out is just trial and error. Test it out... Don't go with what you personally think is aesthetically good or what you think is good because you don't know. Let data speak for itself." – Charlie Klarskov🔗 Links & ResourcesVisit Workshops for Retirement’s websiteConnect with Charlie on LinkedInFollow Workshops for Retirement on LinkedIn
