About Mr Faceless
For ten years, we’ve been perfecting the art of running online businesses.
Here you’ll learn: Who we help, What we do, our Philosophy, Story, and Team members.
Who we help
We help coaches, consultants, course creators, agencies, and experts (basically, anybody who sells advice). We only work with founders who are experts at their craft, with existing businesses making at least $10,000 /month. These businesses have all the raw materials necessary for 7-figure profits but they lack the structures, systems, teams, tools, and guidance on how to get there.
What do we do
We help these founders achieve “7-Figure Zen” — a business that makes $100k+ /month profit, with 1-2 products, 2-3 remote staff, happy clients, and a chill lifestyle. We do this through our two training programs: Uplevel and Quantum . Our programs aim to maximize: Profits, client results, and founder happiness. Our programs aim to minimize: Complexity, costs, headcount, and stress.
Our philosophy
"7-Figure Zen" is the perfect balance between profit, client results, and founder happiness. To achieve this balance, we follow a philosophy built on six core principles:
1. Results - client results are the main thing.
2. Focus - keep the main thing the main thing.
3. Simplicity - do more with less.
4. Discipline - freedom comes from discipline.
5. Quality - make great things people cherish.
6. Joy - if its not fun, you are doing it wrong.
Our story
Part 1. Solve a problem
It all started back in 2011 when I (Sam Ovens) quit my corporate job to start my own business from my parent's garage in New Zealand. I tried building multiple tech companies, but they failed because nobody needed them. Knowing this, I decided to talk to business owners first and ask them what their most painful problems were. They told me it was getting new customers. I started learning everything I could about customer acquisition, and my consulting business was born.
Part 2. Services don't scale
I helped local businesses get customers online with good websites, SEO, Adwords, Facebook Ads, and an email list. My clients got results, I was making money, and it was easy for me to sign on new clients — the problem was, I couldn’t handle any more work. I had reached the limits of my energy and time. I hired a team to help me, and we became an “agency,” but it was hard to deliver quality work, manage the complexity, and turn a decent profit. I realized services don’t scale.
Part 3. Course/coaching hybrid
Doing the work for clients didn’t scale, so I thought: “What if I taught them how to do it instead?”. I created an online course that showed people how to do the things I did for them so they could get customers for themselves. The content alone wasn’t enough; I had to provide group coaching and support to keep them motivated and troubleshoot their issues. The new model was a success; I scaled my consulting business to $300,000 /month, by myself, from home, with 80% margins.
Part 4. Too much scale
Eager to see how far I could push things, I hired a team, and we started scaling aggressively. Within 1-year, we were making $18m /year, and by year-2, we were making $36m /year. I featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list; we had a fancy NYC office, 45 staff, and spent $40k /day on ads. People started noticing me on the streets. I was semi-famous. But beneath the surface, things were chaotic, profit margins suffered, I didn’t know my clients, and I started to hate my life.
Part 5. Finding zen
Tired of putting out endless fires and working 18-hour days, my wife and I moved to LA, California, and I started simplifying my Frankenstein of a business. The idea was simple: More with less. We aimed to maximize: profits, client results, and founder happiness — while simultaneously — minimizing: complexity, costs, headcount, and stress. After two years of experimentation, we found what we believe is the perfect model. We call it “7-Figure Zen”, we live it, and we teach it too.
