Personal Message from Justin

I've asked myself this question several times.

Did Adskills peak?

Are we past our time?

Should I just fold it all up?

I'm very happy to say, we have much more that just 50 good ones left in Adskills.

There's still 1,600(ish) of you that are loving Adskills.

While I miss the days of Alex Makarski, Jason Stogsdill, Liana Ling, and others. We have a new day, with Zoli, Lisa Koenn, Alex Iwaniuk, and more.

I know it's not "The old Adskills."

It's never going back to "The old Adskills."

Some will leave, I'll miss them, but I can't build a company grasping at people who are half checked out. I need to build the company on people who are still all in.

Recently, I let everyone on the team go. 😳

Everyone.

For the first time in 13yrs, I'm a solopreneur again.

Why?

They weren't catching the new vision.

But the new hires will.

I can't build something new, with people who are still holding onto something old.

I get it if that's you.

You want the old $8.99/mo price.

You want the old Slack group.

I wish I could make all of you happy, but here's the thing...

While some are upset over change, the market still loves us.

Many of you are loving the new live calls.

Many of you are loving the new course layout.

Many of you are loving the new Adskills.

If you're mad because things are changing, I love you and I'll honestly truly miss you.

I'm not being rude or cold, I truly miss John Belcher, Jason Stogsdill, Sunni Sukamar, Chris Von Wilpert, etc etc etc.

But I'm moving the company forward.

2025 Roadmap for Adskills

We have 2 products now; Adskills Academy and Adskills Agency.

​Adskills Academy: This is for DIY advertisers who want more profitable ads and comes with weekly live campaign review calls. You'll get access to our fundamental ad buyer trainings + a weekly live call to ask all your questions. If you can't make it live, there is a form in the members area where you can ask your questions and then I'll answer them on the live call so you have it in the recordings.

Academy costs $699/yr divide that by 52 calls = $13.50 per call. That's a legendary deal! When I charge $1,000/hr for consulting.

​Adskills Agency: This is our certification program for ad buyers who want to do ads as a service for others. The course it comes with "Agency Sales Masters" has made thousands of 6 figure agencies and a few dozen millionaires. You get everything you need; proposal, slide decks, call recordings, leads, and a monthly call with an 8 figure agency owner.

Agency costs $1,995, and we teach you how to get 4 clients at $2,500 per month. If all you did was get one client, it pays back the cost of this course.

In addition to this...

We have live monthly workshops where we tackle specific topics related to ad buying. We just did one all about copywriting, and the one before that was list building.

Summer 2025:

• We are launching our new home page and blog which will include a calendar of the full years schedule for workshops & live calls.
  ​
• A new certified ad buyers directory to help our certified members get more clients. This will replace our old matchmaker program.
  ​
• Re-filming our AI Adsmith bonus course since AI has changed SOOO much in the last 12 months. Will be added to Adskills Academy members account for no additional cost.
  ​
• Pitch Perfect monthly sales roleplay call added to Adskills Agency live call schedule. You'll learn how to master the art of phone, webinar, and SMS client pitching on these calls.
  ​
• Our book Retargeting Recipes is finally getting the update everyone has been asking for, it'll be called "Overnight Traffic: Marketing Campaigns You Can Start Tonight for $5 a Day."
  ​
• Launching the secret AI tool we've been working on, this will be added to Adskills Academy members accounts for no additional cost.
  ​
• Adskills Affiliate program launches where you can earn free access to our Adskills Academy & Agency program by referring just 3 new customers to us (Plus 50% commissions!)

Fall 2025:

• New book "The Highest Paying Job You Never Heard Of" launches. Which will help average people discover the career of media buying, and how it makes 6, 7, 8, and even 9 figure earners.
  ​
• Adskills Accelerator, a 3rd product to the mix launches. We're going to help agencies de-risk the AI takeover that's causing their clients to fire them, build their own offers, and scale.
  ​
• Power Day Blueprint gets added as a new bonus course for Adskills Agency customers for no additional cost. This teaches them my $15k Power Day consulting model that I used while traveling the world with my family.
  ​
• Adskills Aces invite-only mastermind launches. The highest level mastermind for ad agencies ever created. My goal is to wake David Ogilvy from the dead on this one.

It's a big year ahead.

One I'm very excited about.

Lastly, if you've had a support ticket delay it's because my wife and I are handling them ourselves. I'm almost through all of them, 39 left.

After that, I'm going to fix all the live call recordings and video issues in the members area. It was over 100 videos we had to transfer, we were bound to have 1-2 not work - but we are on it.

​See you on the live calls.​
