    Join The COMPASS Method Book Launch Team

    Season one of 10 Minute Masterclass is officially in the books. With over 85,000 downloads and a spot in the Top 50 Entrepreneur podcasts, Trey Sheneman reflects on the journey so far and shares a sneak peek from his upcoming book, The COMPASS Method. In this episode, Trey introduces the Five A Flywheel—awareness, attraction, acquisition, activation, and advocacy—and explains why building flywheels, not funnels, is the key to long term, compounding growth. Key Takeaways Funnels leak energy, flywheels create momentum. The Five A Flywheel framework: Awareness – Be visible to the right people, not just louder. Attraction – Spark interest with stories and value propositions. Acquisition – First commitment is the midpoint, not the finish line. Activation – Customers must use and experience your value or they churn. Advocacy – Turn customers into evangelists who fuel awareness. Flywheels multiply momentum, funnels drain it. The COMPASS Method book launches in October (hardback), January (paperback). Join the launch team to get an early copy, behind the scenes updates, and exclusive Q&A sessions with Trey. Season two launches in Q4 2025 with interviews from top leaders in marketing, sales, operations, and leadership.

  2. The Greatest Lessons My Son Bear Has Taught Me

    The Greatest Lessons My Son Bear Has Taught Me

    Sometimes the greatest leadership lessons don’t come from boardrooms or business books, they come from home. In this episode of 10 Minute Masterclass, Trey Sheneman shares three powerful lessons he’s learned from raising his son Bear, who has lived with unique medical and developmental challenges. These lessons of patience, celebrating micro wins, and adapting the plan not the goal will reshape the way you lead teams, grow your business, and build culture. Key Takeaways Patience isn’t passive, it’s strategic. Slowing down creates space for growth and ownership. Celebrate micro wins like championships. Small victories compound into culture and momentum. Adapt the plan, not the goal. Let people thrive by leaning into what they love, not forcing rigid paths. Good leadership looks less like running a factory and more like tending a garden, planting, watering, and cultivating growth over time. Timestamped Highlights [00:00] What raising Bear taught Trey about leadership. [02:00] Lesson 1: Patience isn’t passive, it’s strategic. [04:00] Lesson 2: Celebrate micro wins like championships. [06:00] Lesson 3: Adapt the plan, not the goal. [08:00] Why leadership is more like gardening than commanding. [09:30] Final reflections and invitation to connect.

    $5 Changes with 7 Figure Potential

    Growth doesn’t always require sweeping transformations. Sometimes the biggest results come from the smallest tweaks.

From faster response times to better first impressions, these small hinges can swing very big doors.

Momentum builds when you make one improvement at a time. Timestamped Highlights [00:00] A $300 restaurant menu redesign that created the best quarter ever.

  4. The 5 Laws of Launching Like Apple

    The 5 Laws of Launching Like Apple

    Nobody builds hype and delivers launches like Apple. But you don’t have to be a trillion dollar brand to launch like they do. In this episode of 10 Minute Masterclass, Trey Sheneman breaks down the five laws of launching like Apple, from creating anticipation to closing with a bang. Packed with real world stories from launches Trey has led, you’ll learn how to apply Apple’s playbook to your own products, services, or offers. Key Takeaways The 5 Laws of Launching Like Apple: Build a Runway – Start teasing early with case studies, behind the scenes content, and value driven problem solving. Use the Four C’s – Every message should communicate Clarity, Credibility, Contrast, or Commitment. Stack Scarcity and Urgency – Combine time limits with quantity limits for maximum momentum. Engineer the Middle Push – Plan a surprise bonus, Q and A, or case study drop to avoid the mid launch slump. Close with a Bang – Up to 50 percent of sales come in the final 24 hours; push hard with countdowns, multiple emails, and even live streams. Real world examples: A 28 day coaching program launch that drove 12,000 Facebook group members and 1,000 sales in week one. A SaaS client who doubled conversions by using a simple contrast graphic. An event launch that sold out 70 percent of tickets in 48 hours with early bird scarcity. A high ticket mastermind launch that added $280k in sales in the final day with last minute pushes. Big lesson: You don’t need Apple’s budget, just their discipline. Timestamped Highlights [00:00] Apple’s secret to anticipation, momentum, and loyalty. [02:00] Law #1: Build a runway with pre launch content and seeding. [03:00] Law #2: The Four C’s of effective launch messaging. [05:00] Law #3: How to stack scarcity and urgency for maximum impact. [07:00] Law #4: Planning a mid launch push to avoid the slump. [08:00] Law #5: Closing with a bang, final 24 hour strategies. [09:30] Why these principles work for small brands too. 10MIN Takeaways Newsletter: 10MIN Takeaways Want to work with Trey and his Team?

    How To Build A 90-Day Strategic Plan

    A vision without a plan is just a dream. In this episode of 10 Minute Masterclass, Trey Sheneman walks through the final step of the COMPASS Method: turning research and insights into a strategic 90-day plan. With lessons from startups, coaching clients, and even Spotify’s “bets,” Trey shows why 90-day plans create urgency, build momentum, and keep your team focused on what matters most. Key Takeaways A 12-month plan is a vision, a 90-day plan is a mission. Focus is the secret power of a 90-day plan, it limits distractions and clarifies priorities. Plans that are too long or too complex die in execution. Keep it actionable. Spotify calls their 90-day objectives “bets” you either win or learn, but you always move forward. Use Trey’s 3-question filter to shape your plan: Does it drive Revenue, Retention, or Reach? Can we measure impact inside 90 days? Does it create momentum for the next quarter? A strong plan has five parts: 3 big objectives (not 5, not 2) Key results for each One clear owner per result 30-day milestones Weekly reviews Momentum compounds, small wins stack into breakthroughs. Timestamped Highlights [00:00] NASA countdown and why plans create lift-off. [02:00] The COMPASS Method’s final step: turning insights into action. [03:00] Why 90 days is the sweet spot for urgency and momentum. [04:00] A client’s 60-page plan reduced to 3 clear objectives. [05:00] Spotify’s 90-day “bets” and lessons for every business. [06:00] The 3-question filter: Revenue, Retention, or Reach? [07:00] Domino effect: how small wins stack into momentum. [08:00] How to structure a strategic plan that works. [09:00] A cautionary tale: when teams try to do too much. [10:00] Final reminder: momentum is your greatest multiplier.

    The Greatest Leadership Lesson Patrick Lencioni Ever Taught me

    You can have the best marketing, the best sales process, and the best strategy but if your organization is unhealthy, it will all fall apart. In this episode of 10 Minute Masterclass, Trey Sheneman shares leadership insights from Patrick Lencioni’s book The Advantage, revealing why organizational health is the ultimate competitive edge. You’ll learn the four steps to build a healthy team, how to keep clarity alive, and why trust is your growth multiplier. Key Takeaways Great marketing and sales can’t fix a dysfunctional organization. Healthy teams multiply results; unhealthy teams multiply dysfunction. Lessons from Patrick Lencioni’s The Advantage: Build a cohesive leadership team – Centered on vulnerability-based trust, not just predictive trust. Create clarity – Answer the six key questions about purpose, behavior, success, priorities, and roles. Over-communicate clarity – Repetition cements alignment; leaders get tired of saying things before teams get tired of hearing them. Reinforce clarity with systems – Hiring, meetings, and rewards should reflect values and priorities. Growth ceilings are usually health problems, not strategy problems. Clarity builds trust, and trust accelerates growth. Timestamped Highlights [00:00] The greatest competitive advantage: organizational health. [02:00] Why Trey loves Patrick Lencioni’s The Advantage. [05:00] Step 1: Build a cohesive leadership team based on vulnerability-based trust. [06:00] Step 2: Create clarity using six critical leadership questions. [07:00] Step 3: Over-communicate clarity—leaders repeat until teams align. [08:00] Step 4: Reinforce clarity with systems that reflect your values. [10:00] Organizational health as the key to breaking growth ceilings.

  7. The Bottleneck Is You - How Founders Accidentally Break Their Own Businesses

    The Bottleneck Is You - How Founders Accidentally Break Their Own Businesses

    Most businesses don’t stall because of bad strategy, they stall because the founder becomes the bottleneck. In this episode of 10 Minute Masterclass, Trey Sheneman uncovers the four common ways founders accidentally slow down their own growth and shares simple frameworks to help you delegate, prioritize, and free your team to scale beyond you. Key Takeaways Founders often become the lid on their own business – the good news? You can fix it. The 4 founder bottlenecks: Decision Bottleneck – Nothing moves without your approval. Solve with decision rights and a RACI chart (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed). Communication Bottleneck – You’re the go between for every conversation. Solve with meeting rhythms, scorecards, and project management tools like Asana or ClickUp. Task Bottleneck – You say, “They won’t do it like I will.” Solve with buyback rate thinking (focus on $1,000/hr tasks only) and strategic delegation. Priority Bottleneck – You’re the only one who knows what’s important. Solve by teaching your team to prioritize using OKRs, Rocks, and non-fatal decision making opportunities. Growth past $2–3M requires shifting from founder-led to systems-led leadership. The founder’s real job? Vision, strategy, and building leaders – not doing all the work. Timestamped Highlights [00:00] – Most businesses stall because of founder bottlenecks, not bad strategy. [01:30] – The silent killer of scale: being a founder-led business past $3M. [03:00] – Bottleneck #1: Decision overload. Install decision rights. [04:00] – Bottleneck #2: Communication traffic jams. Fix your rhythms and tools. [06:00] – Bottleneck #3: Founder as task martyr. Calculate your buyback rate. [08:00] – Bottleneck #4: Priority hoarding. Teach your team to decide and own goals. [10:00] – Weekly challenge: Audit yourself – where are you the bottleneck?

  8. Fix Your Sales Assembly - The 3 Places Line Revenue Gets Stuck

    Fix Your Sales Assembly - The 3 Places Line Revenue Gets Stuck

    Sales is not an art it’s a machine. And like any machine, if one part breaks, the whole system suffers. In this episode of 10 Minute Masterclass, Trey Sheneman walks you through how to diagnose breakdowns in your sales process by looking for three common failure points. If your revenue feels stuck, this is how to find the leaks, fix the friction, and restart the flow. Key Takeaways Sales is an assembly line: lead → conversation → proposal → pitch → close. Revenue often stalls because something breaks at one of three points: Input Problem – You're not generating enough qualified leads. Bad traffic creates unqualified leads. Fix by: Identifying your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) Choosing the right channels based on where your customer spends time Repositioning your offer if needed         2. Process Problem – Leads go cold, proposals stall, or demos drag on. Fix by: Auditing your follow-up cadence Training your team on objections and urgency Building time-sensitive offers or capacity limits        3. Output Problem – Verbal yes, but no signature. Fix by: Adding risk-reversal (e.g., 30-day guarantee) Improving close technique with next steps and deadlines Clarifying objections early and often Sales doesn’t have to feel mysterious—it can be mapped, measured, and optimized. Timestamped Highlights [00:00] – Sales is an assembly line; traffic jams cost revenue [01:30] – Is sales an art or a science? (Trey votes science.) [03:00] – Leads → Conversations → Proposals → Pitches → Close [04:30] – Breakdown 1: Not enough qualified leads [06:30] – Bad traffic? You're probably on the wrong channel [07:00] – Breakdown 2: Leads not converting smoothly [08:00] – Audit your follow-up, add urgency, train objection handling [09:00] – Breakdown 3: Output problems—verbal yes, no action [10:00] – Add risk reversal, tighten next steps, map your machine Want to work with Trey and his Team?
