Grindstone isn’t for everyone.

Grindstone isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.

We’re selective about who we take on as clients.

✅ Who we work with:

✔ Video creators (YouTubers, streamers, Shorts creators)

✔ Already monetized (making at least $100/month from content)

✔ Ready to monetize beyond ad revenue and build a real business

✔ In a growing niche

🚫 We don’t work with:

❌ Total beginners (you should already have momentum)

❌ Creators looking for a “done for you” service

❌ People in a shrinking niche

❌ Anyone looking for an easy “get rich quick” secret

If you’re our person, keep reading.

If not? No hard feelings—we have links to free resources at the bottom of the page.

Your concerns, doubts, and fears.

You’re likely rolling your eyes at yet another coaching program.

That’s normal.

But let’s break down some of your worries and be brutally honest about what this program is—and what it isn’t.

1) "I can’t afford it." 💰

Our best creator made $21,834k in one of his months with us.

If you don’t know how to earn $21,834K/month from your content business, it’s costing you way more to figure this out on your own.

But here’s the deal:

🔥 The Grindstone Guarantee 🔥

If you don’t make back what you paid for this program, we refund you 100% of your money… plus an extra $500 for wasting your time.

Best case? You build a profitable content business.

Worst case? You get six months of high-level coaching for free, plus $500.

What’s riskier—investing in yourself or staying stuck where you are?

2) "I don’t have the time or energy." ⏳

When will life ever be perfectly free of responsibility?

When the kids are grown? When your job magically gets less demanding? When everything settles down?

It won’t.

If you can figure this out when life is on Hard Mode, imagine how unstoppable you’ll be when things get easier.

We’ve worked with creators who:

✔ Got married during the program

✔ Moved across the country while building their brand

✔ Had newborns and still made it work

If they can do it, so can you.

3) "I could just use this money to hire an editor." 🎥

Awesome. Why haven’t you done that yet?

Yes, an editor might save you time.

But without a clear direction and predictable income, it’s like being lost at sea and hiring another crew member—now you’re both lost and have one more mouth to feed.

The real problem isn’t editing. It’s strategy, consistency, and monetization.

Solve those, and hiring an editor is a great idea.

4) "What if it doesn’t work?" 🤔

Every creator who has gone through Grindstone has grown in ways they didn’t think possible.

✔ We’ve helped 6 creators quit their jobs and go full-time

✔ Our creators increase their monthly income by $4485 on avg.

✔ We are so confident in this program that we will refund you + $500 if it doesn’t work (which has only happened twice)

If this program was a waste of time, we’d have a wall of horror stories.

Instead, we have a wall of 5-star reviews.

5) "What if I can’t commit enough time or energy?" ⚡

When you put money where your mouth is, you unlock a level of focus and energy you didn’t even know existed.

✔ Our typical client has a spouse, kids, and a full-time job—and they still execute

✔ Our system fits into any schedule so you never feel overwhelmed

✔ We remove the mental friction that keeps you stuck

If you’re already stretched thin, that’s even more reason to join.

You need structure, not more chaos.

6) "Is this a scam?" 🤨

Lol. If it was, we’d probably be making more money.

But don’t take our word for it.

Ask any of our creators who left a 5-star review. Their contact info is right there.

And if this was a scam, why would we:

✅ Publicly guarantee you’ll make your money back or get a full refund + $500?

✅ Have creators publicly showing their real results?

✅ Put my entire reputation and business on the line for this?

7) "Will I do anything sleazy to make money?" 🤢

Never.

✔ We never buy views, fake followers, or manipulate algorithms

✔ We never sell anything we wouldn’t buy ourselves

✔ We only monetize by bringing real value to real people

8) "If you’re such a content expert, why don’t you have a big audience, Dillan?" 🧐

I’m definitely not a content expert.

There are sooo many other folks in the creator space who know way more than I do.

But it’s not about vanity metrics. It’s about making money.

My best month ever was $49,290—I had 1,900 total followers.

I’m not a guru or magician.

Our clients seem to get great results more often than not. When they don’t, we refund them. That’s it.

What’s the catch?

Grindstone has downsides.

This isn’t a magic pill. If you’re looking for a quick hack to get rich overnight, we’re not for you.

1) It’s a big commitment.

Time, money, accountability—you’re going to have to show up.

But what’s the alternative? Years of wasted effort and slow progress?

2) It’s still hard work.

Content creation is a long game.

We don’t care if you 100x next month—we care that you’re still winning and loving what you do 10 years from now.

3) It’s not a "done-for-you" service.

We won’t build your content business for you.

We’ll make you the kind of creator who can build it yourself.

If you want someone else to do everything while you sit back, this isn’t for you.

4) It’s not a "get rich quick" scheme.

This is a "get rich predictably and sustainably" program.

If you’re looking for shortcuts and viral gimmicks, go somewhere else.

5) We promise nothing.

We have the Grindstone Guarantee, sure.

But that’s just to prove our confidence and remove the risk for you.

At the end of the day, we can’t control human behavior.

Results vary. Different creators move at different speeds.

Every creator who joins Grindstone leaves satisfied. And a good chunk of them start making way more money.

The Bottom Line

You can keep grinding on your own, hoping to figure this out before you burn out and give up.

Or you can use a proven system, work with certified coaches, and start making the progress you want.

If you’re ready, book a call. If not, no worries. 😊

But don’t lie to yourself and say, “I’ll do it later.”

Later is how people stay stuck.
