How I went from Notion Newbie to Full Time Consultant in Six Months

A Little Backstory

I first started using Notion back in 2017 (it was just a tiny bit different back then ). After working for a few years as an architectural designer in New York, a combination of burnout and toxic work culture led me to quit.

At the start of 2015, by brother (who worked in marketing) and I had the idea of starting a creative agency for startups. And Superform was born.

We ran the business for about four years. As time went on, I discovered my interest was less in the creative work, and more on the operations side of the business.

I became obsessed with learning what companies can do to work more efficiently, and how having the right processes can make all the difference in the world.

This is when I started using Notion as a dashboard, where we could share updates and action items in one place. This was pretty novel at the time. You may have heard me talk about why lead generation is important for any consultant.

I learned this the hard way.

Saying you run a creative agency sounds cool, but competing with probably a thousand other agencies for work? Not so much.
