Land Your First Brand Deal in 90 Days: Zero to $5K Blueprint

Learn how to land your first creator brand partnership in 90 days with a step-by-step roadmap for aspiring influencers.

Futuristic creator workspace illustrating a 90-day roadmap to brand partnerships
Let me tell you something most aspiring creators won't admit: scrolling through Instagram at 2 AM, watching influencers casually unbox PR packages while you're still figuring out how to get sponsored, feels like watching someone else live your dream life.

I get it. You've built a following—maybe it's 1,000 people, maybe it's 10,000—and you're wondering when the brand collaboration emails start rolling in. Spoiler alert: they probably won't. Not unless you make the first move.

Here's the truth nobody talks about in those "day in the life of an influencer" vlogs: landing your first brand partnership isn't about luck or waiting until you hit some magical follower count. It's about strategy, positioning, and knowing exactly how to present yourself as a business partner rather than just another content creator begging for free stuff.

Over the next 2,500 words, I'm going to walk you through the exact 90-day roadmap that transforms aspiring creators into paid brand partners. No fluff. No outdated advice from 2019. Just the current playbook that actually works in today's creator economy.

Why 90 Days Is Your Sweet Spot for First Brand Partnership Success

Before we dive into the tactical stuff, let's address the elephant in the room: why 90 days?

Three months gives you enough runway to build credibility without burning out. It's long enough to create a legitimate portfolio but short enough to maintain momentum and actually see this through. I've watched countless creators set vague goals like "get brand deals someday" and still be in the same position two years later. Urgency creates action.

The creator monetization strategy landscape has shifted dramatically. Brands aren't just looking for massive followings anymore—they're hunting for authentic voices with engaged communities. That micro-influencer with 3,000 followers who gets 400 likes per post? She's more valuable than the account with 50,000 followers and 200 likes because her audience actually cares.

This is your opening. And we're going to exploit it systematically.

Days 1-30: Building Your Foundation (The Unsexy Stuff Nobody Wants to Do)

Understanding What Audience Size Really Means

Let's tackle the first question everyone asks: what audience size do I need before approaching brands for partnerships?

Here's where I'm going to challenge the conventional wisdom. You don't need 10,000 followers. You don't even need 5,000. I've seen creators with 1,500 engaged followers land paid partnerships because they understood one critical concept: brands don't buy followers, they buy outcomes.

Your first month isn't about growth hacking your way to arbitrary numbers. It's about proving engagement. A brand would rather work with someone who has 2,000 followers and a 10% engagement rate than someone with 20,000 followers and a 1% engagement rate. Do the math—that's 200 engaged people versus 200 engaged people, except one creator has far more authentic influence.

Your Week 1 Mission: Pull your analytics. Calculate your engagement rate using this formula: total engagement (likes, comments, shares, saves) divided by follower count, multiplied by 100. If you're below 3%, we need to fix that before pitching anyone. Spend the next three weeks creating content that sparks genuine conversation, not just passive scrolling.

Constructing Your Media Kit (Your First Impression Is Everything)

How do I create a media kit that stands out to brand managers? This question keeps aspiring creators up at night, and for good reason—your media kit is essentially your resume, portfolio, and pitch deck rolled into one.

Here's what most beginners get wrong: they either overthink it with 15-page presentations or underthink it with a screenshot of their Instagram insights. Neither works.

Amateur vs professional media kit layout comparison for creators

A standout media kit in 2025 contains exactly five elements:

Your Brand Story in 100 Words or Less. Not your bio. Not your life story. The answer to "why do brands care about you?" Maybe you're the plant mom who turned her studio apartment into an urban jungle and now your followers actually buy the products you recommend. That's a story. That's a hook.

Audience Demographics That Matter. Forget vanity metrics. Brands want to know: where does your audience live, what's their age range, what's their buying power, and most importantly, what problems are they trying to solve? If you're in the fitness niche, knowing that 67% of your audience is actively trying to lose weight is infinitely more valuable than knowing 67% of them are women.

Engagement Metrics With Context. Don't just show your engagement rate—show what happens when you recommend something. Did your story about that water bottle get 47 DM inquiries? That's gold. Did your skincare routine post generate 200+ saves? Brands need to know your audience takes action.

Content Examples That Demonstrate Range. Three to five pieces showing you can create different content formats. A carousel that educated. A reel that entertained. A story series that drove questions. Versatility signals lower risk for brands.

Clear Partnership Options With Pricing. Yes, even on your first media kit. We'll talk about rate calculation in a moment, but having a starting framework shows you're serious about business, not just free products.

Use Canva Pro to design this. The $12.99 monthly investment is non-negotiable if you're serious about landing paid partnerships. The professional templates alone are worth it, and you can create multiple versions optimized for different brand categories.

Calculating Your Rates Without Previous Partnership Experience

This is where most new creators either undervalue themselves catastrophically or price themselves out of opportunities entirely. How do I calculate my rates as a new creator without previous partnership experience?

I'm going to give you a starting formula that's fair to both you and brands:

Base Rate = (Followers ÷ 1,000) × $100 for a single Instagram post

Someone with 3,000 followers would charge $300. Someone with 8,000 would charge $800. This formula accounts for reach while remaining competitive for micro-influencer partnerships.

But here's the crucial part: add modifier percentages based on these factors. High engagement (above 5%)? Add 25%. Niche audience with clear buying intent (like sustainable fashion or tech gadgets)? Add 30%. Multiple deliverables like stories plus a post? Add 50%. Usage rights beyond social media? Add 75% minimum.

Suddenly that $300 base rate becomes $500-600 for the right partnership with the right deliverables. That's respectable compensation for someone just starting out.

Create a simple rate card using this formula and include it in your media kit. Having transparent pricing immediately positions you as a professional. Brands respect it, and you'll waste less time on partnerships that can't meet your minimum.

Pro tip: Platforms like Collabstr show you what creators in your follower range are charging across different niches. Spend an hour researching comparable creators. This is market research, not stalking.

Building Your Portfolio From Zero

What portfolio materials do brands expect to see in partnership pitches? This stumps beginners because you're thinking, "How do I show branded content experience when nobody has hired me yet?"

The answer: create spec work strategically.

Pick three brands you genuinely use and love. Not brands you wish would sponsor you—brands whose products are already in your life. Create the content you would deliver if they hired you. Film the unboxing. Write the caption with proper FTC disclosure. Style it like a real partnership deliverable.

This serves two purposes. First, it demonstrates your creative capabilities without needing permission. Second, when you eventually pitch these brands (which we'll do in month two), you're showing them exactly what they're getting.

Store all of this in a Notion Creator Hub Template. The free version is sufficient for tracking your portfolio pieces, organizing pitch status, and maintaining a content calendar. Treat this like your business headquarters because, congratulations, you now run a business.

Days 31-60: Strategic Outreach (Where Most Creators Fail)

Identifying Which Brands Actually Want to Work With You

Which brands are most receptive to partnering with micro-creators? The answer determines whether you spend the next 30 days hearing crickets or actually building relationships.

Stop pitching Nike. Stop pitching Apple. Stop pitching any brand that could buy a Super Bowl ad without checking their budget. They're not responsive to micro-creators because they don't need to be.

Instead, target these three categories:

Direct-to-Consumer Brands With Under 50,000 Instagram Followers. These companies are still building awareness. They need creators more than creators need them. They're scrappy, responsive, and often willing to test new partnerships with smaller creators. Use Grin Creator Management to discover e-commerce brands actively seeking creator partnerships in your niche.

Brands That Already Partner With Micro-Influencers Visibly. Scroll through their Instagram tagged photos. Are they reposting content from creators in your follower range? That's your green light. They've already validated the micro-influencer model.

Local or Regional Brands Looking to Expand. A sustainable clothing brand based in Austin trying to reach customers in Denver? You're potentially their bridge if you have Denver-based followers. Geography still matters in 2025, especially for brands with regional ambitions.

Create a target list of 30 brands across these categories. Use Upfluence Marketplace for AI-powered matching that surfaces brands actually seeking creators with your specific audience demographics. The free creator profile with analytics integration makes this research process dramatically faster.

The Influencer Marketplace Versus Direct Pitch Debate

Should I use influencer marketplaces or pitch brands directly? Let me give you the unsatisfying but honest answer: both, strategically.

Influencer marketplaces like TRIBE Creator Marketplace and AspireIQ reduce rejection because you're submitting content proposals for campaigns that already exist. The brand selects from submissions rather than you cold-pitching and hoping. For building initial portfolio and confidence, this approach is gold. The downside? More competition and typically lower rates.

Direct pitching gives you control over partnership terms and often higher compensation because you're not splitting revenue with a platform. The downside? Higher rejection rates and more time invested per opportunity.

Flowchart showing influencer marketplace vs direct pitching strategy

Here's my recommended split for your first 90 days: allocate 60% of your outreach energy to marketplaces where approval rates are higher, and 40% to direct pitches with brands you're genuinely passionate about. This balance builds momentum (marketplace wins) while positioning you for bigger opportunities (direct relationships).

Skeepers (formerly Octoly) deserves special mention. This product-seeding platform sends free products for review—perfect for new creators building partnership portfolios without needing to negotiate payment yet. Treat these like paid opportunities professionally, and the testimonials you gather become leverage for future paid deals.

Crafting Pitches That Actually Get Opened

Your pitch email determines everything. Most creator pitches get deleted within three seconds because they make one of three fatal mistakes: they're too long, too focused on the creator instead of the brand, or too vague about deliverables.

Email inbox showing subject line examples with open rates for brand pitches

Here's the brand collaboration email template structure that consistently gets responses:

Subject Line: "Partnership Proposal: [Your Name] × [Brand Name] for [Specific Campaign Idea]"

Specificity matters. "Partnership Opportunity" gets ignored. "Partnership Proposal: Sarah Chen × GreenBottle for Sustainable Living Content Series" gets opened.

Opening Line: Demonstrate you actually know their brand. Reference something specific from their recent campaigns, their mission statement, or their product launch. One personalized sentence immediately separates you from the 47 other generic pitches they received that week.

Value Proposition in Two Sentences: What outcome do you deliver? Not "I create great content" but "I help sustainable living brands reach millennial women who actively seek eco-friendly product alternatives." See the difference? You're speaking their language—audience and outcomes.

Proof Points in Numbers: "My audience of 4,200 engaged followers includes 73% women aged 25-34 with demonstrated interest in sustainable products. Recent product recommendations generated an average of 12% click-through rate and 34 direct inquiries."

Specific Proposal: "I propose a partnership including three Instagram posts, six Instagram stories, and one YouTube review video published over a six-week period. This integrated approach drives both immediate awareness and long-term search visibility."

Clear Call to Action: "I've attached my media kit with additional audience insights and content examples. Are you available for a 15-minute call next week to discuss how this partnership could support your Q4 marketing objectives?"

Notice what's missing? Begging. Apologizing for your follower count. Offering to work for free. You're a business proposing a business arrangement. Act like it.

Track every pitch in your Notion workspace. Note the send date, brand response timeline, and outcome. This data becomes invaluable for refining your approach.

The Negotiation Dance You Need to Master

How do I negotiate my first brand deal without undervaluing my work? This question carries so much anxiety because you're terrified of either asking for too much and losing the opportunity or asking for too little and getting exploited.

First, understand that brands expect negotiation. When they make an initial offer, they've typically budgeted 20-30% higher than their opening number. Your job is finding that zone without being unreasonable.

When a brand responds with "What are your rates?" don't panic. Send your rate card and add this sentence: "These are my standard rates, though I'm open to discussing package options that might offer better value for ongoing partnerships."

This positions you as flexible without being desperate. You've anchored high with your standard rates but signaled willingness to create win-win scenarios.

If they counter with something insultingly low—like $50 for content that takes you six hours to create—you have two professional responses:

Option One: "I appreciate the offer, but my standard rates reflect the time investment and audience value I deliver. Would you be open to a product-plus-payment partnership where we combine product value with a reduced rate of [your minimum acceptable number]?"

Option Two: "Based on my current rates and the deliverables you're requesting, I'm not able to move forward with this partnership at that rate. However, I'd love to stay connected for future opportunities when budget allows for fair creator compensation."

Notice you're not burning bridges or getting emotional. You're simply stating business boundaries professionally. Some brands will walk away. Good. They weren't going to be good partners anyway.

The brands that respect your rates or negotiate fairly? Those become your portfolio pieces and testimonials for landing bigger deals.

Days 61-90: Executing, Delivering, and Leveraging

Legal Agreements That Protect Your Business

What legal agreements should I have in place before accepting brand partnerships? This is where many new creators accidentally agree to terrible terms because they're just excited someone said yes.

Never start creating content without a written agreement. Ever. Even if the brand seems trustworthy. Even if it's "just" a $200 partnership. Especially if it's your first deal and you're eager to prove yourself.

Checklist of key contract elements for brand partnerships

Every partnership agreement needs these elements clearly defined:

Deliverables with specific details. "Three Instagram posts" isn't enough. You need posting dates, caption length, hashtag requirements, tagging expectations, and approval timelines specified. Vague deliverables lead to scope creep where brands ask for "just one more story" or "could you also do a TikTok?"

Usage rights and exclusivity. This is huge. Are they buying the right to use your content in their advertising? For how long? On which platforms? Will they boost your posts with ad spend (which means your content becomes their ad)? Each expanded usage right should increase your compensation proportionally.

Compensation structure and payment timeline. When do you get paid? Upon content posting? Within 30 days? After performance metrics are delivered? Get this in writing. Net-30 payment terms are standard, but Net-60 or Net-90 terms screw over creators who need cash flow.

Exclusivity clauses. Will this partnership prevent you from working with competitors? For how long? A skincare brand might reasonably request you don't promote a direct competitor for 60 days. But if they want 12 months of exclusivity while only paying for one campaign? Negotiate higher compensation or shorter exclusivity.

Content approval process. How many revision rounds do you owe them? What's the turnaround time for approvals? Without this specified, you could create content, wait three weeks for feedback, revise, wait another two weeks, and suddenly your posting schedule is destroyed.

Use HelloSign for e-signatures on your contracts. The free plan covers three documents monthly, which is sufficient for beginners. As you scale, DocuSign at $10 monthly becomes worthwhile for the enterprise credibility it signals.

If a brand sends you their contract, read every word. I mean it. Brands occasionally bury clauses that give them perpetual usage rights or prevent you from disclosing payment terms (which makes it harder for creators to establish fair market rates). When you spot problematic clauses, respond professionally: "I appreciate the agreement, though I'd like to modify clause 4.2 regarding usage rights. Could we discuss limiting this to 90 days rather than perpetual?"

Most brands will negotiate. Some won't. That tells you everything you need to know about whether they respect creators as business partners.

Proving ROI When You Have Limited Partnership History

How can I prove ROI to brands when I have limited partnership history? This chicken-and-egg problem frustrates new creators constantly.

The secret is proactively tracking metrics brands care about even before you start landing partnerships. When you organically recommend products you love (not sponsored), track the response:

Engagement metrics: How did this content perform compared to your average? Use Social Blade Analytics to establish your baseline performance, then demonstrate when product-related content exceeds that baseline.

Action metrics: Count the DMs asking "where did you get that?" Count the story replies saying "just ordered this!" Screenshot these interactions (with permission) because testimonials from your audience prove influence more powerfully than follower counts ever could.

Traffic metrics: Use LinkTree Pro ($9 monthly) to create trackable links. When you share product links in your bio, you can show brands exactly how many clicks you generated. Suddenly you have concrete conversion data even without formal partnerships.

Create a simple spreadsheet tracking these metrics for every product you organically feature. After 30 days, you'll have compelling data: "Over the past month, my content featuring sustainable products generated an average engagement rate of 8.2%, 47 direct inquiries, and 183 link clicks with an estimated 12% conversion rate based on audience feedback."

That's a pitch-ready portfolio piece demonstrating ROI without needing previous brand sponsorships.

For your first actual partnership, negotiate performance-based bonuses when possible: "My base rate is $500, and if this content generates over 1,000 engagements, would you be open to a $100 performance bonus?" This aligns incentives and demonstrates confidence in your ability to deliver results.

The Metrics That Actually Matter to Brand Managers

What metrics matter most when brands evaluate creator partnerships? Let's cut through the vanity metrics that don't matter and focus on what brand managers actually care about in 2025.

Engagement rate remains king, but it's becoming more sophisticated. Brands now use tools like HypeAuditor Analytics (free basic reports, premium from $299 monthly) to detect fake engagement. If your engagement rate is suspiciously high compared to your follower count, or if your comments are generic emoji spam, AI tools flag this instantly.

Audience authenticity scores matter more than raw follower counts. Brands would rather work with someone who has 3,000 real followers than 10,000 followers where 40% are bots or inactive accounts. Run your own audience audit before brands do. Modash Creator Search (starting at $99 monthly) helps you understand your audience quality and compare yourself to successful creators in your niche.

Content save rates have emerged as a critical signal because saves indicate your content has lasting value beyond the first scroll. If people are bookmarking your product recommendations to reference later, that's powerful intent data brands want to tap into.

Story completion rates show whether your audience actually cares about your content or just passively follows you. If 70% of your story viewers watch through all frames, brands know you command genuine attention.

Hashtag performance and discoverability demonstrate whether your content reaches beyond your existing followers. Brands want creators who can introduce their products to new audiences, not just broadcast to existing fans.

Track these metrics consistently using native platform analytics, and include them in your media kit updates. Treating analytics seriously separates professional creators from hobbyists immediately.

Turning Your First Partnership Into Ongoing Income

Your first brand deal isn't the finish line—it's the starting line for creator monetization strategy. How you execute this initial partnership determines whether it becomes a one-off $500 payment or the foundation for ongoing income streams.

Overdeliver without expanding scope. If your contract specifies three Instagram posts, create three exceptional posts on schedule. Then add unexpected value that doesn't require additional approval rounds—like creating a story highlight featuring their product, or organically mentioning them in a relevant "favorites" post two weeks later. This kind of bonus visibility costs you minimal extra effort but demonstrates you're invested in their success beyond contractual obligations.

Document everything meticulously. Create a post-campaign report showing exactly what you delivered. Include posting dates, final content with engagement metrics, audience feedback (anonymized DM screenshots), and any unexpected wins like viral performance or positive brand sentiment. Use this report both to prove ROI to this brand and as a portfolio piece for future pitches.

Request testimonials proactively. Within 48 hours of campaign completion, email your brand contact: "I loved collaborating with your team on this campaign. If you were satisfied with the partnership, would you be willing to provide a brief testimonial I could include when pitching future brands? Even a sentence or two about working together would be incredibly valuable."

Most brand managers will say yes because it takes them 90 seconds and creates goodwill. These testimonials become social proof that legitimizes your creator business faster than anything else.

Propose ongoing relationships immediately. Don't wait for brands to reach out for another campaign. Two weeks after your first campaign concludes, send a follow-up: "Thank you again for the opportunity to partner on [campaign name]. I'm already planning Q1 content, and I'd love to explore an ongoing partnership arrangement. Would you be interested in discussing a quarterly content package at a preferred rate?"

Some brands will say no. Many will say "not right now but let's stay in touch." A few will say yes, and those retainer relationships become your stable income foundation.

Alternative Income Streams to Accelerate Monetization

While you're building toward traditional brand sponsorships, smart creators stack multiple income streams. Understanding affiliate marketing vs sponsorships helps you monetize faster.

UGC creator opportunities through platforms like TRIBE or Collabstr pay you to create content brands own outright. You're not posting to your channels—you're creating content for their marketing use. Rates are typically lower ($100-300 per deliverable) but these gigs are faster to land because brands aren't evaluating your audience. They're buying your content creation skills.

This works beautifully for beginners because you can take on multiple UGC projects weekly while waiting for traditional sponsorships to materialize. The skills you develop—lighting, editing, scripting, understanding brand guidelines—directly transfer to sponsored content while generating immediate income.

Affiliate marketing provides passive income without requiring brand approval. Join affiliate programs for products you already use and love. Platforms like Amazon Associates, LTK (formerly rewardStyle), or individual brand affiliate programs let you earn commission on sales generated through your links.

The key difference: sponsorships pay you for content creation regardless of sales performance, while affiliate marketing pays you for conversions. Combine both: land a paid sponsorship with a brand, then continue promoting their products through your affiliate link after the paid campaign ends. You've already created awareness through sponsored content; now you're capturing the long-tail conversions.

Digital products leverage your growing expertise. Once you've landed 3-5 brand partnerships, you have valuable knowledge other aspiring creators want. Create a simple $27 digital guide on "My Exact Email Templates for Landing Brand Deals" or a $97 mini-course on "Building Your Creator Media Kit in One Weekend."

This isn't about becoming a course creator instead of a content creator—it's about diversifying income while you scale your partnership portfolio. Even modest digital product sales ($300-500 monthly) reduce financial pressure that might otherwise make you accept lowball partnership offers.

Managing Your Creator Business Finances

Once you start landing partnerships, QuickBooks Self-Employed ($15 monthly) becomes essential for tracking partnership income, deductible expenses, and quarterly tax obligations. Being broke isn't a personality trait—it's often the result of treating creator income like hobby money instead of business revenue.

Deduct your content creation expenses: equipment purchases, software subscriptions like Canva Pro, props for styled content, even the percentage of your rent allocated to your content creation space if you film at home. These deductions significantly reduce your tax burden but only if you're tracking them properly.

TaxJar for Creators handles sales tax management if you're selling digital products or earning affiliate income that triggers sales tax obligations. The free tier covers up to 100 transactions monthly, which is sufficient for beginners.

Set aside 25-30% of every partnership payment for taxes. I know, it hurts. But getting hit with a surprise tax bill in April because you spent all your creator income is a painful and avoidable mistake.

Open a separate business checking account even if you're operating as a sole proprietor. This creates clean financial separation between personal and business expenses, which matters for both tax purposes and professional credibility when brands ask for invoicing details.

Your 90-Day Action Checklist

Let's consolidate this roadmap into your actual 90-day implementation plan:

Days 1-10: Audit your current content, calculate your engagement rate, and pull demographic data on your audience. Create or update your media kit using Canva Pro with the five essential elements we discussed. Set up your Notion workspace for tracking pitches and partnerships.

Days 11-20: Calculate your rates using the formula provided. Create three spec portfolio pieces featuring brands you genuinely use. Join two influencer marketplaces (recommend starting with TRIBE and AspireIQ for beginners). Install Social Blade and LinkTree Pro to begin tracking your baseline metrics.

Days 21-30: Build your target brand list of 30 companies across the three categories we identified. Research comparable creators using Modash or Upfluence to validate your positioning and rates. Draft your pitch email template and customize it for your top five target brands.

Days 31-45: Send 15 direct pitches using your email template. Apply to 10 campaigns through influencer marketplaces. Follow up on any non-responses after seven days with a brief, professional reminder. Document all outreach in your Notion tracker.

Days 46-60: Continue outreach to your remaining target brands. When you receive partnership offers, review contracts carefully using the checklist provided. Negotiate terms professionally rather than accepting first offers automatically. Set up HelloSign for contract management.

Days 61-75: Execute your first partnership deliverables with meticulous attention to the contract specifications. Overdeliver on value without expanding scope. Document every aspect of campaign performance for your post-campaign report.

Days 76-90: Deliver your post-campaign report to brand partners and request testimonials. Propose ongoing partnership arrangements to brands you've worked with successfully. Update your media kit with your completed partnership examples and results achieved. Calculate your actual ROI and refine your rates accordingly.

The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

Here's what separates creators who land their first partnership in 90 days from those still waiting a year later: they stop thinking of themselves as influencers hoping brands notice them and start thinking of themselves as marketing partners solving business problems.

Brands don't hand out sponsorships like participation trophies. They invest in marketing channels that deliver measurable outcomes. When you position yourself as a channel—a distribution method that reaches a specific, engaged audience with proven conversion patterns—you become valuable regardless of your follower count.

The creator economy has matured past the era when having 100,000 followers automatically meant brand deals would fall into your lap. In 2025, micro-influencer partnerships often outperform macro-influencer campaigns because authenticity and trust matter more than raw reach.

Your 1,500 engaged followers who actually buy the products you recommend are more valuable than someone else's 50,000 passive followers who simply scroll past sponsored content. Internalize this. Let it fuel your confidence when you pitch brands.

Your Next Steps Start Right Now

I've given you the complete roadmap. You have the tools, the templates, the platforms, the formulas, and the strategies that work in 2025's creator economy. Now comes the part where most people fail: implementation.

Reading this guide accomplished nothing if you don't take action today. Not tomorrow. Not after you hit your next follower milestone. Today.

Open a new tab right now and sign up for one influencer marketplace. Just one. Spend 20 minutes creating your profile. That's your day one action.

Tomorrow, open Canva Pro and start your media kit. The day after, calculate your rates and add them to your media kit. The day after that, identify your first five target brands.

Small daily actions compound into major outcomes over 90 days. The difference between creators who land brand partnerships and those who stay stuck isn't talent or luck—it's consistent execution.

Your first brand partnership is waiting on the other side of the work you do over these next 90 days. The question isn't whether this roadmap works. The question is whether you'll work the roadmap.

You've got this. Now go build something.
