Growth
Strategist
Strategist
Do one thing well
I develop growth strategies for 6 and 7 figure businesses.
That’s it.
Nothing else.
No distractions.
Nothing to steal my focus.
Not kidding myself that I can be good at everything.
Not trying to conquer the whole world. I just do my best to conquer my bit of it.
So each day I wake up, work on myself, try to understand the world a bit better and make the best growth strategies I know how. Then let the results speak for themselves.
Over the last six years, I helped businesses grow by building personalized growth strategies and became UpWork’s top-rated growth strategist.
Working 1-on-1 with business owners, I’ve realized that old system is broken.
Complexity and chasing new shiny objects is not serving anyone. We are surrounded by these things and new system is the anti-dote.
Clarity, strategy, efficiency and authenticity are pillars of the new system.
Businesses are then able to create something that’s valuable, and in return, these businesses become valuable.
I’m Marko, the guy behind this website.
My curiosity lies at the intersection of business growth and self-awareness. That’s what I’m fascinated by.
But let’s not beat around the bush here…
You’re on this website because you want to improve your business and maybe learn something new, not to hear my life story.
If you are interested in that (and I’m flattered), I will give you the short version of why I’m doing what I’m doing.
Story
Before understanding what I deeply care about, I was all over the place.
Most of my life, I was a self-improvement junkie. I was a passive spectator, consuming information and jumping from one job to another.
To paint a picture, here’s a quick overview…
Process
- I worked as a door-to-door salesman, then as a massage therapist, and finally finished medical school to work as a dental technician.
- A family tragedy made me realize the value of both mental and physical health. This resulted in me obsessing over my health and changing my job role… again.
- I started working on cruise ships as a fitness instructor and in short period of time was top performing employee, so I became fitness director.
Here’s a video of an award and transition from fitness instructor to director:
- Regardless of hard-working and wonderful experience, working for someone else was not for me, so I’ve changed my job…again and went to the freelance route.
- As a freelancer I was working on projects around web design, user experience, copywriting and marketing.
- I have became a Top Rated freelancer on UpWork, specialized as growth strategist and founded my consultancy.
- While developing growth strategies I’ve gained irreplaceable depth of experience what it takes to grow online businesses.
Today
After years of self discovery, introspection and constantly working with business owners, I have gained unique set of insights… Insights on inner and business growth.
How I Can Personally Help
As mentioned, I am growth strategist helping business grow.
I am not a marketing agency, some woo-woo guru and I don’t have intention to become one.
Over the years, I’ve continuously improved process specifically for online business growth. I call it the Clarity Blueprint, and it is the main thing I offer.
If you are skeptical and need more proof, I get it. There are a lot of charlatans out there, especially in marketing, but just in case, here’s my UpWork profile and LinkedIn profile.
I rarely take on projects on UpWork these days, since the majority of my work comes directly from referrals or via my website.
Frequently Asked Questions
I have something to ask you. What is the best way to contact you? You can use the chat option in the bottom right corner of your screen or you can drop me an email at [email protected]
What proof of knowledge do you have? Do you have any credentials or certifications? Everyone knows that results and great feedback from customers are the real proof of your knowledge. You can see that on the Clarity Blueprint page or in my UpWork profile. Although I don’t see credentials as something important, I do have completed certifications from Google, Hubspot, SEMRush and Digital Marketer.

Where are you from and where do you live? I’m from Serbia and am currently living there. It’s amazing place to live! People who haven’t visited Eastern Europe usually have a negative bias towards it, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. I have visited 43 countries and Serbia is wonderful place to live in.
Why are you interested in this weird mix of personal development and business growth? It’s what I’m drawn to. I believe it is crucial to merge and understand both perspectives.
