How do some entrepreneurs build profitable businesses that give them the freedom to travel, create, and innovate without burning out? With AI and other digital tools changing the content landscape, scaling while staying lean has become crucial. What does it take to create a business that scales while aligning with the lifestyle you want?
For entrepreneur and marketing strategist Ben Slater, a life-changing setback in his teens catalyzed his drive to launch and scale multiple businesses. He maintains that a low-cost product, such as a book, can instantly pay for advertising so you can reinvest ad dollars without waiting months for a return. Ben recommends creating one authentic, value-driven video ad to build trust and drive revenue. He also urges founders to use AI tools like Replit to quickly prototype software solutions, giving them leveraged assets and new income streams for lasting freedom.
In this episode of FuDog.TV, Mike Agugliaro talks with Ben Slater, Founder of Systems For Business, about building a high-leverage lifestyle business. Ben explains how to create authentic, high-performing ads, turn internal resources into front-end offers, and test a book funnel with Meta Ads.

Quotable Moments:
“I have a 95% conversion on those calls, so if people show up to the calls, almost all of them turn into clients, and that cash flow is directly attributed back into my funnel.”
“It literally took me probably less than five or six hours in total work to get the thing done. We launched it. We built a funnel for it. We did $250,000 in the first month that we launched it.”
“The cost of creating software is gone to zero. It gives you very high-leverage things that you can build and sell.”
“I believe that just one good marketing video for your business can produce $1 million in sales.”
“I really, really believe that having intellectual property in your business… is one of the keys to business.”
Action Steps:
Launch a low-cost product funnel: Selling a small, valuable product upfront can immediately fund your ad spend and reduce financial risk. This creates a self-liquidating lead generator so you can scale advertising without waiting months for returns.
Create one authentic marketing video: A single, well-crafted video ad can generate millions in sales while building audience trust. Authentic content cuts through crowded social feeds and outperforms overly polished or scripted ads.
Package your existing resources into offers: Turn internal tools, templates, or knowledge into paid front-end products that attract ideal customers. This approach repurposes assets you already have to convert casual buyers into long-term clients.
Use AI platforms like Replit to prototype software: Rapidly building custom tools gives you a high-leverage asset you can use internally or sell. With low costs, even small teams can create scalable solutions and new revenue streams.
Focus on leverage and innovation as core principles: These two forces drive lasting business growth and personal freedom. By constantly innovating and leveraging systems, you can create a company that thrives without your constant oversight.
