It took him 20 years to make $419M (I see why now)

Yo!

Ben Buaron here, Israeli Founder 🇮🇱 of Windmill Growth, 8 months and 2 weeks into the process.

I hope you had a Merry Christmas 🎄

And a Happy Hanukkah so far 🕯️ (shoutout my Jewish fam)

I just got back from Tulum about two weeks ago...

4 days. 50+ savage founders…

And one lesson that changed everything.

What was it?

Process beats fast money. Every. Single. Time.

Here's why this hit different...

At Windmill, we've been sprinting. Chasing growth. Moving fast.

(My “community strategy” secret to scaling from $250→$600k ARR in 6 months)

And yeah, it’s worked... we added 10 new clients this month alone.                      

A big chunk of that came from what I learned at the Founders Retreat.

But sitting with a founder who sold his company for $400M+ he shifted my whole perspective...

I used to think scaling meant:

• More clients

• Faster deals

• Bigger numbers

But this founder showed me the real game:

• Building solid systems

• Trusting the process

• Playing the long game

It took him 20 YEARS to exit for $419M.

His story was a huge reminder that entrepreneurship is a long-term game.

Those "overnight successes" we always see?

They're just 10-20 year processes finally paying off...

So we're changing things up at Windmill...

Making our client onboarding bulletproof.

Because getting 10 new clients is great...

But building a system that delivers massive value to 1000+ clients?

That's where the real magic happens.

Speaking of systems...

Quick LinkedIn Lesson 📱

Chasing viral posts is a trap. 

Showing up 3x/week beats going viral once. 

Build a system YOU can stick to.

We're testing this simple process with clients:

1.  Sunday: 30-min Strategic Idea Generation

• Review week’s learnings

• Extract 3 unique insights

• Match insights to audience pain points

2. Content Structuring

• Hook: First 3 seconds matter 

• Body: Actionable insight

• Closer: Clear call-to-action or reflection 

3. Posting Optimization

• Consistent 3x/week schedule

• Best times: 7-9 am & 5-7 pm EST

• Engage within the first 2 hours of posting

• Respond to every comment

Basic process. Massive results.

Windmill Updates 💰

• Added 10 new clients to our network

• 3 spots left for our end-of-year deals

• Building bulletproof systems for 2025

• Team's all in on process > quick wins

That's it for this week's windmill flow...

Remember to keep building, even when it feels slow.

Let’s crush 2025!
