Last week, I did a masterclass in Capital Club talking about why I believe SMMA is DEAD, and what to do instead... 😅 I managed to get the full replay for all u guys and might even post to my YouTube. If you want the replay, comment "Luke Belmar" below and I'll send it over to you TODAY 📈

My why used to be to retire my parents.. but that why isn't strong enough anymore

So… I said I’d do 8 hours of cold calling for market research and hit 1,000 cold calls. Reality check? I didn’t do a single hour of research calls.And I only made around 50 cold calls — booked 2 appointments from them. I wish I could give you a solid reason why. But the truth is, I don’t have one. I take full accountability for that. Sure, there were obstacles — the WiFi in my neighborhood kept cutting off mid-call (which killed my motivation fast). And I share a bedroom, so it’s not like I can just start calling whenever I want. But if I’m being real with myself, those weren’t the main reasons. The real reason was mental.I kept comparing myself to people already doing $10k, $20k, $30k months.Every time I thought about dialing, this thought popped up: “What’s the point? What are 200 calls today even going to do?” That one thought — that feeling of insignificance — is what paralyzed me. Then, just when I started to build some momentum again, I booked a meeting for Tuesday. Felt good about it.But right before the call, I checked my dialer… and my account got suspended.No dialer. No calls. And the one I was using before? It was free. Now I’m back to square one — trying to figure out how to make money just to get the tools to keep going. I’ve been thinking about switching things up — maybe pitching car dealerships here in Egypt in person since it wouldn’t cost me anything upfront. Or maybe picking up a setter/closer job to get my footing again. Honestly? I don’t have it figured out right now.I feel a bit lost.But I also know this low point will teach me something — it has to. Sorry for the long wait on this update. Between university and stuff happening at home, things got messy. But this is where I’m at — no filters, no excuses. Next post will be about how I climb back up from this.

If you're trying to grow your agency... And want to book more appointments without spending more on paid ads... You HAVE to attend @Marques Pizarro's masterclass in one hour where he'll be sharing the most effective cold DM scripts in Q4 of 2025! Be there or be square! He goes live at 6PM EDT (50 minutes from now!)

Hey everyone 👋 I just recently jumped into the auto industry — specifically working with auto repair, tuning, and performance shops — and I’ve already started doing outreach and booking appointments. Wanted to see if anyone else here is in the same space (or has worked with these kinds of shops before). Would love to exchange some sauce, share what’s been working, and learn from each other. Drop a comment or DM me if you’re down 👇
