Hey, I’m Allen Brouwer – scale and growth mentor, creative marketer, and co-creator of the SELF Journal. I’m also a sought-after speaker and business strategist who’s helped tens of thousands of people turn on the hustle and turn off the bullsh*t.
I’m proud to have made the Forbes 30 under 30 list in 2016 and right now (along with Cathryn), I’m the only person to have won Shopify’s Build a Business Competition two years in a row.
My approach combines the power of an abundance mindset with the principles of inevitable success to show action-takers how to use business to crush audacious goals, make a bigger impact, and create a life filled with experiences.
So if you want to scale your business rapidly, ‘quit’ the high-paying job you gave yourself, and build a bigger business that isn’t 100% reliant on you showing up, you’re in the right place.
Learn the fundamental skills for scaling your business (without breaking it). Everyone wants to grow quickly, but too much growth will have you crashing and burning sooner than you’d planned. So, learning the fundamental principles is key to take your business to the next level, and move you from the day-to-day to the strategic planning and long term vision you need.

What are the best businesses to invest in? The ones that I invest in. With background in starting, running and scaling my own companies; I’ve seen the power of internet based businesses. Investing in established (2+years), evergreen (long lifespan), small-cap (<$10mm/year) businesses, is a great way to leverage your capital and while getting substantial returns. If you’re looking for investment, don’t just get money; get money and a quiver of resources, connections, & strategy to help you grow.
Only 5% of all businesses in the world do a $million gross. The fact that Allen has built a business doing 8-figures is an amazing job. It takes hunger to succeed at that level. Hunger is that part of you that says I WILL NOT STOP. It’s a statement that you will not settle for less than you can do, or be, or share, or give. To succeed you need to master your ability to turn on your hunger, your passion, and your creativity and as a Shopify Build a BIGGER Business winner, Allen Brouwer has that hunger.
Part of what makes a good entrepreneur is recognizing when to capitalize on your strengths and when to bring in other people to help you. After building a culture and a team at Best Self that’s so inspired by Allen’s mission, it’s clear he’s able to do this.
A positive attitude is the world’s most underrated secret to success. This is something Allen Brouwer understands, embodies, and practices. It was one of the things that impressed me most during our time in Fiji with the Build A BIGGER Business winners. Allen has taken responsibility for his positive mindset. As a result he has a very positive energy which he leaves everywhere he goes. I’m certain it’s his commitment to nurture this attitude, which has been a key contributor to his success.
It’s tough to open up a business, but to scale a business is extremely tough. So if you can scale and sustain that sustainability, that means you’re doing something right! I think Allen Brouwer has what it takes to go out and change the world. I see that drive and desire in him. That thing that says he’s never going to stop.
