Problem
Most businesses struggle to find customers from scratch, which makes their growth slow, expensive, and unreliable. Traditional marketing approaches often require heavy investment in ads or content creation without guaranteed results. This inefficiency prevents businesses from scaling quickly and reaching their ideal audience effectively.

Solution
The Dream 100 strategy, originally developed by Chet Holmes and adapted by Russell Brunson, offers a smarter way to attract customers. Instead of building an audience from nothing, businesses identify where their ideal customers already spend time—on podcasts, newsletters, social media groups, or influencer pages—and strategically engage with those platforms. By working their way in through value-driven interactions or buying their way in through ads and sponsorships, businesses can redirect targeted traffic to their offers, turning borrowed attention into owned leads.

Lesson
Success in marketing isn’t about chasing customers—it’s about positioning yourself where they already are. The Dream 100 framework simplifies this by focusing on audience leverage rather than costly trial-and-error methods. Whether through influencer partnerships, cold outreach, or strategic advertising, businesses that master this approach can dramatically accelerate their growth and drive consistent, high-quality leads.
