The Secret Sauce to Scaling Your Business

The Secret Sauce to Scaling Your Business

And Why I’m Useless Without These People

Happy New Year!

It’s only the third day of 2025, and I’m already deep into planning, strategizing, and—let’s be honest—making excuses to avoid the gym.

But with a new year comes fresh goals. Here’s what I’m setting out to achieve this year:

  1. Launch two house new brands through AKG Creative.

  2. Hit 100,000 subscribers for this newsletter.

  3. Grow Flexwork Studio to support 250+ creative entrepreneurs.

  4. Cut my screen time by 40% (help me out here).

  5. Run a 5K marathon without taking any breaks!

Got goals of your own? Email me ankur@youngry.com and tell me what you’re chasing. Next week, I’ll feature some of the most ambitious ones (don’t worry, no names attached).


Here’s the Deal

If you’re building something meaningful, you need two things:

  1. A sharp strategy.

  2. Trusted people to execute it.

Unfortunately, I can’t duplicate myself. But I can share my go-to network—the people who make the impossible feel effortless. Below is a curated list of trusted experts I’ve worked with personally.

Whether you’re growing your brand, fine-tuning your operations, or leveling up creatively, these are the people you need in your corner.
