Hi, My name is William Brown. I'm an entrepreneur.

Here’s how that happened…

The Journey

In My Mid-Teens...

Me and my friends began skateboarding. I decided it would be fun to film their stunts and our travels across the country to different skateparks, edit together the video footage and create a product. Skateboard videos. I began selling these to friends and other skateboarders we would meet as we travelled and built a network of other people interested in the sport. Selling these made me 2-figures.

In My Late-Teens...

Me and my friends became interested in street art and graffiti. I decided it would be fun to take pictures of our work, and the work of others, as we traveled across the country. I also interviewed prominent artists, combined all of this and created a product: A graffiti magazine. Whilst it was a small bootstrapped endeavour, I was selling advertising in the magazine to large global paint brands, and I had the magazine stocked in boutique art stores. Selling these made me 4-figures.

In My Early-Twenties...

Me and my friends got into DJ-ing. I decided it would be fun to, rather than just play other people’s music, produce my own, creating a product under the moniker Compa. Two years later, I got my music into the hands of a global DJ, Mala who signed me to his Deep Medi label. From there, I got a booking agent, a manager and began touring the world, playing in over 40+ countries and releasing records on a variety of prominent electronic music record labels. I also self-released my own music, digitally and on vinyl, and created my own merchandise and my own ‘sample packs’ that other producers could buy. Performing and selling records and merch made me 6-figures.

In My Mid-Twenties...

I became interested in investment and building wealth through real estate. I realised that I may not be able to sustain a music career forever, and that it would be wise to invest excess capital to grow it for the future. I started off by investing in small town-houses in the North of England, then grew to investing in larger family-houses, and then expanded into off-plan city centre apartments, with investments growing in size at each step forwards. I worked with a property management company to outsource the sourcing, renovation and lettings side of things, to make my life easier. My real estate company currently sits at 7-figures.

In My Late-Twenties...

I became interested in trading financial markets, as a way to supplement my music income, which at times could be slow if I only had one or two DJ bookings in a month. After working with a handful of coaches and mentors, I learned the necessary skills to construct my own strategies, unique to me. I didn’t know it at the time, but I had unknowingly created yet another saleable product that I would end up sharing with others. One day, a friend messaged me asking if I could teach him what I had learned, what I was doing, along with my strategies. This was when my e-learning business WBTrading birthed itself organically. Over the following six years, I grew the company to 16 members of staff across 5 countries, over 5,000 clients and $16.4M in total sales before exiting the company to a private equity firm for millions more. My e-learning company made me 8-figures.

In My Early-Thirties...

In September 2023, I sold my e-learning company to a private equity firm, based in America, for a multi seven-figure sum. Over the last year or so, I’ve been increasingly approached by people who’ve asked me to help them either build, grow, or exit their online education companies, and after my YouTube channel blew up at the start of 2024, growing by 50K subs and 1.5M views in just five months, the volume of people requesting consulting grew and grew. This led me to found my new company Build, Grow and Exit in order to help them to either build, grow or exit their e-learning companies. My mission statement is simple: “Make money, have fun, and help people”.

The Two Comma Club X Achievement

Within a few years, we grew to 16 team members. Revenue hit 819K per month. Total business value: 16.4M. We weren’t just selling courses anymore. We had built systems, hired experts, and created a real company.

I learned that scale requires infrastructure, not just hustle. It requires team, systems, and strategic thinking. It requires saying no to a thousand good ideas so you can say yes to the right ones.

The Exit & New Mission

We made the decision to sell to a private equity firm. This wasn’t an exit from entrepreneurship. It was a pivot. I’d proven I could build something from nothing. Now I wanted to help others do the same.

I moved to Dubai and started Systemise & Scale. I realized the real opportunity wasn’t in building one company. It was in helping others build theirs.

I’ve written “How To: $10M”—a blueprint of everything I’ve learned. But books teach. Coaching transforms. That’s why I now focus on 1:1 coaching and group masterminds.

My mission: Take what I’ve learned from 1,500 per month to 16.4M and help others compress decades of learning into months of action.

Forbes Feature & Recognition

Forbes featured our journey. It wasn’t just vanity. It was proof that the model worked. It showed investors, partners, and future clients that we were serious.

The Two Comma Club X award from ClickFunnels meant we’d generated over 10M in revenue through their platform. These weren’t vanity metrics. They were validation that our systems actually worked at scale.
