This is hands down the best book I’ve ever read on hiring and team-building. Every entrepreneur should read it.”

This is hands down the best book I’ve ever read on hiring and team-building. Every entrepreneur should read it.”

This will shave years off your learning curve.
“The sales pitch for the ‘new economy’ sounds great. ‘Work anywhere! No offices! No employees! Start up on a shoestring!’ The problem is, after you said yes to the pitch, you got the product without a do-it-like-this manual. Brad Callen wrote that manual. This will shave years off your learning curve.”

What Is Brad Callen's
Book All About?
The “Experts” Have It All Wrong
It’s complicated to manage a team … or so you’ve read if you’ve picked up any business book EVER.
And if it’s a remote team?
Well, that’s even more complicated …
Again, or so they say.
After all, the common wisdom is that to successfully manage a team (and especially a remote one) …
False
You need to be some kind of SUPERHERO, by assuming ALL these roles …
Visionary
Cheerleader
Administrator
Counselor
Teacher
Director
Manager
Coach
Leader
As a lifelong introvert, I wasn’t thrilled at the thought of doing that …
Fortunately, I have enough experience under my belt now to know that the experts got it all wrong.
In a minute, I’ll explain why that is but first, let’s look at some of the other things they may have misled you about …
Heard Any of These Myths Before?
Leadership requires constant oversight and tough conversations.
Building a team is complicated, expensive, and difficult.
Entrepreneurs need to motivate, hand-hold, and “get personal,” so people will follow them.
Great leaders create one-of-a-kind quirky corporate cultures that make work fun and exciting, so they inspire people to incredible innovation and dedication.
Entrepreneurs need to fully understand all the various tasks team members perform, so they can tell people exactly what to do.
Leaders must be charismatic, motivational smooth-talkers who can captivate a room.
Workers have to be enticed with elaborate incentives, if leaders want them to remain loyal.
Entrepreneurs need to show up all day, every day and be out in front, so they can set an example.
While all these pearls of wisdom may sound good in theory (and do have a bit of merit) …
I Haven’t Done Any of Those Things … And My Businesses Have Been Wildly Successful
Hi, I’m Brad Callen, and I’ve launched, built, and sold dozens of profitable online businesses and products …
Over the past 20 years, I’ve sold everything from software and supplements — to anti-aging creams, fitness books, and online courses.
Although not every idea I had turned to gold, most of them fortunately did.
Between 2016 – 2020, my company Bryxen released Doodly whiteboard animation software, before releasing 4 other successful applications:
Doodly, whiteboard animation software
Automatic Script, copywriting software
Toonly, animated explainer video software
Voomly, video and online course hosting software
Talkia, text-to-speech software
With each release, we demonstrated incredible speed-to-market, signed up hundreds of thousands of new users, and achieved high levels of customer satisfaction.
And the numbers? Well, they weren’t bad either ;)
In a single year, these software products collectively generated sales of
over $40 million dollars …
In 2021, I sold them to another company for an amount I literally never imagined I’d see in my bank account. That said, software products aren’t the only things I’ve launched with great success.
For example, in my supplement business, we sold more than 200 bottles per day every day for three years, and on great days, we sold between 500 and 600 bottles!
And back in the day when I taught search engine optimization (SEO), thousands of people tuned in to my lessons on how to get top rankings in Google.
In fact, of the 50-some products I’ve launched online, only two didn’t make it to six-figure sales … and average sales across them all are well into the seven-figure range.
However, what’s most significant about the accomplishments I’ve shared isn’t the sales and profits.
It’s that …
I Obtained All My Business Success … With A Completely Remote Team!
Over the years, my company Bryxen has employed thousands of people from dozens of different time zones … who all work 100% remotely.
In fact, I’ve never even been in the same room as my team … not even a Zoom room!
Even better, my remote team doesn’t rely on any of the typical stuff that experts say is so important … meaning Bryxen has:
NO traditional office
NO video conferences
NO zany office culture
NO phone calls
Sounds kinda crazy, huh?
I get it … but by now, we’ve proven again and again that our remote team management system works, and it works phenomenally well …
As a result, we can develop, create, and sell high-quality, profitable products -- in way less time than our traditional competitors do.
But that’s just for starters, because this system hasn’t just fueled my business success … it’s also transformed my personal life.
For example, when I first started out as an entrepreneur, I used to work my butt off, clocking in hours way late into the evening after working my day job -- and even while I was on vacation with my wife.
However, ever since I developed my proven process for building and managing a remote team …
My Remote Team Management Approach Has Given Me More Freedom … Than I Ever Dreamed Possible!
Truth is, I have more free time than virtually any other entrepreneur I know … and that was the case even before I sold our software products.
As a result, I get to take my kids to school, workout every day, play lots of video games, and spend plenty of time with my friends and family.
Plus, I can:
Vacation wherever and whenever I feel like it
Rest easy, knowing I can afford college tuition for my three kids
Donate large sums of money to nonprofits I care about
Enjoy a comfortable nest egg in retirement
Live in the kind of house I want
& Drive the car I always had my eye on (Tesla Model S).
In short, this system I’ve developed for building and managing remote teams has allowed me to live a really happy, comfortable life.
Still …
I Never Wanted to Be the Kind of Entrepreneur Who Rides Off into the Sunset
Even after I sold our software products, I knew I wanted to continue working…
I love what I do way too much to quit!
That’s why rather than just bask in the Caribbean sunshine on a white-sand beach somewhere, I wanted to tackle my next big goal … and write a book.
But not just any book.
Specifically, I wanted to write a book that helps other entrepreneurs build and manage their own remote dream teams …
A book that can help you enjoy the lifestyle you desire … without devoting seemingly endless hours at work.
And right now, I’m happy to report that although that book took almost 20 years to live out, a full year to write and endured countless edits, I’m finally done writing DONE!
DONE teaches you how to build and manage your own high-performing, revenue-generating remote team … that runs on auto-pilot.
This is key to big wins in the online business game.
Build and manage your remote team correctly, and you’ll have more time, freedom, peace-of-mind, and hopefully money …
Get it wrong and running your company can eat up all the hours in a day, create enormous stress, and suck the joy out of being your own boss!
Fortunately, it’s far easier than you might think to create a remote team of all-stars that’ll tackle all the “heavy lifting” for you … even if you may not consider yourself a people person.
Like I mentioned, I’m a huge introvert … which is why the idea of leading groups of people through daily meetings and brainstorming sessions and team-building activities has zero appeal to me.
However, there’s none of that in DONE, because it simply ISN’T necessary for your success.
Instead, DONE gives you a simple, proven approach for building and managing an amazing team of remote rock stars – who require minimal management.
But that’s not all.
DONE is also packed with real-world pro tips from successful entrepreneurs who started small and built big … so you can learn from the best practices they’ve developed--and avoid their biggest mistakes.
So, now that you know what DONE is, let me tell you what it isn’t ….
DONE Is NOT Your Typical Dry, Academic Leadership Book
Unlike some other business books, DONE isn’t loaded with lots of dull mumbo-jumbo, annoying jargon, and high-minded (impractical) advice.
Instead, DONE provides:
Straightforward guidance
Real-world examples
Lessons learned
Illustrative diagrams
Helpful screenshots
Actionable insights
& Tons of inspiring tips from leaders who’ve “been there”
In short, DONE contains everything I wish I knew when I was first starting out …
The good news is that although it took me years to learn some of that stuff …
DONE can help you immediately bypass some of the harder lessons I experienced … while helping you scale your business, earn more money, and enjoy a greater sense of freedom.
But before DONE can do that, I’ll need to know where to ship your free copy of the book.
Who Is DONE For?
DONE is for entrepreneurs who want to gain a competitive advantage with a remote team … whether they’re hiring their first team member or their thousandth.
More specifically, if you can relate to any of the following, DONE is for you …
You want to save money, time, and frustration managing a remote team … while avoiding all the typical hassles that are so commonly experienced by team leaders.
You’d like to put together a team of top-notch talent that helps you sail right past the competition.
You’re skilled at some things (not so much at others), and you’re looking for the perfect people to fill in the gaps.
You’ve made some early hires, but it’s not going the way you hoped it would.
You’ve built a moderately successful team and want to take it to the next level.
You have big office overhead and a daily “show-up” requirement that feels like a ball and chain.
You’re doing everything yourself in your business and feel burnt out or overwhelmed.
If any of these sound familiar, I want to help you get to the next level with a remote team “machine” that functions on autopilot … so you can grow your business even bigger and boost your earnings, while enjoying way more freedom.
