$500K from LinkedIn... despite procrastinating for 6 months (Pearl Talent Story)

This founder learned the hard way...

Yo!

Ben Buaron here, Israeli Founder 🇮🇱 of Windmill Growth, 9 months into the process.

Ever look at your LinkedIn and think "I'll post tomorrow"...

For like, 6 months straight?

Yeah, me too. And so did Isaac.

🔍 From Procrastination to $500K ARR

Here's the thing about Isaac, Co-Founder of Pearl Talent...

He was absolutely crushing it with SEO. Word-of-mouth growth? Insane.

But every time he opened LinkedIn? 

Yeah, it was one of those "I'll do it later" tasks that kept getting forgotten about.

"It was something we knew we had to do, but it was such an abnormally big pain that it didn't get done."

Until something wild happened...

In just 6 months working with us:

  • $500K increase in ARR

  • 142% boost in website traffic

  • 37.51% follower growth

  • 2M+ impressions on viral posts

  • LinkedIn became their 3rd highest channel for inbound leads

Yeah, all those "I'll post tomorrow" moments? They were silently costing him $500K in revenue.

But here’s the craziest part…

Isaac didn’t have to turn into a Gary Vee…

Or spend hours crafting the “perfect” post.

Instead, we helped him implement our unique system that combines AI-powered insights with human expertise to: 

  • Create authority-building content that actually converts

  • Generate consistent inbound leads without the daily grind

  • Build a magnetic personal brand that attracts dream clients

The result? 8 major accounts won directly through LinkedIn.

📱 The LinkedIn Brand-Building Guide

We just released something special…

After helping 112 founders transform their LinkedIn from a time-sink into a profitable revenue channel, we decided to put together a blueprint that reveals everything.

50+ founders already grabbed it in the first 24 hours.

Why? Because it’s not another “post consistently and engage!” guide…

This is a raw, unfiltered playbook showing you:

âś… How to stop posting into the void and start getting real engagement. 

âś… The frameworks I use to turn posts into revenue (no fluff, just what works). 

✅ Why most people's LinkedIn strategy is broken—and how to fix it fast.

No theory. No fluff. No “build your personal brand” nonsense.

Just battle-tested strategies that work.

🧠 Founder Lesson

Running on empty won't just drain you—it could tank your business.

When I started Windmill, I thought I just needed to hustle harder. Push more hours. Grind nonstop.

I was wrong.

The real shift came when I started focusing on myself—meditation, journaling, working out. Taking time to reflect wasn't a distraction; it was a multiplier.

Here's what happened when I made personal growth a priority:

  • My decision-making improved

  • I felt less reactive and more strategic

  • I started showing up as a better leader for my team

If you're feeling stuck in the grind, try this: Pick one daily habit that clears your mind—meditation, a morning workout, or gratitude journaling. You might be surprised what it does for your business.

đź’° Windmill Updates

January was our biggest month ever—but not just because of the numbers.

The highlights:

  • $25K in new business

  • 50%+ higher revenue than our previous best

  • Broke our daily revenue record twice ($11K → $13K)

But here's what really made the difference:

  • Two team members got well-deserved raises

  • Launched LinkedIn ad services (more on that soon)

  • Landed our biggest client yet

The secret? I got out of the way.

Early on, every project ran through me. But that doesn't scale.

This month, I stepped back. The team stepped up. And Windmill moved faster because of it.

When your trust the team and focus on improving yourself, the business follows.

That’s it for this week's windmill flow…

Keep crushing it.

Chao!
