The Work

Tell us about what you are currently working on.

I own 2 online businesses: Smart Curs and Ken.

Smart Curs is the biggest online course production company in Romania and Moldova, with over 33,000 students in 15 video courses.

Ken is an agency for online course creators, which achieved 2.8X profit for their courses in the first 30 days of working with them.

Before

Before you learned about GrowthMentor, how did you deal with the challenges you faced?

I read a lot of books (107 in 2022), had some networking groups, and took 53 courses.

I still do those, but GrowthMentor provides me personalized advice for a really cheap price.

The Decision

What ultimately compelled you to sign up for GrowthMentor?

I needed more personalized "advanced" advice, which is hardly found in books or YT.

Inside the Platform

What's your favorite thing about GrowthMentor?

The mentors are really nice and helpful.

What topics have you mostly discussed with mentors?

Mindset and staying focused as a founder, copywriting, pricing strategy, and my funnels. As someone who already reads and takes a lot of courses, what I wanted was the advanced, personalised version of all of that.

The Breakthrough

Is there a specific session/mentor that stands out in your mind as super helpful?

Irina Verlan and Zev Asch both stood out, though honestly all of them were great. Irina gave me a lot of constructive feedback and concrete things to improve. And Zev was the one I'd go to for the bigger picture, he had me rethink my goals and where to focus my marketing, and pointed me to a lot of resources to learn from.

The Transformation

How has GrowthMentor helped you?

I've recently made changes to a funnel and immediately saw a sale popping up.

I've found loopholes in my knowledge which made me appreciate my results more.

The Verdict

What three adjectives would you use to describe GrowthMentor?

Helpful
nice
community-driven
