Are You A Doer Or A Dabbler? How To Finally Get Your Credit Repair Business Off The Ground
24 Nov 2025 · 0 min
Daniel Rosen argues that credit repair entrepreneurs need to stop planning and start doing. He points to Seth Mitchell as an example of someone who built a successful business, and recommends using a side-hustle while keeping your day job, connecting with peers in the Credit Repair Cloud community, and taking at least one action daily to move forward.
Are you a doer or a dabbler? Well, today we're going to find out.
So the big question is, how can we take our passion for helping people with their credit and turn it into a successful business without taking loans, without spending a fortune by bootstrapping it from nothing so we can help the most people and still become highly profitable? That is the question, and this podcast will give you the answer. My name is Daniel Rosen, and welcome to Credit Repair Business Secrets.
Most people never start their business. It's a really odd thing. In our credit repair cloud community and at our events, I see so many people who dream of starting a business and talk about starting a business, but they never do anything. They just make up excuses. They're afraid they might make some mistakes. They're afraid of the unknown, and then they never go anywhere. Does this sound familiar? Does it sound like you. Are you afraid to launch your business? Are you afraid that you're going to make mistakes? Are you afraid to take a chance or spend money? Well, here's what I want to tell you. That kind of thinking is not only holding you back from success, but it's seriously causing damage to your future. Seth Mitchell is one of our credit repair millionaires, and he spoke at our last credit repair Expo. And his story is amazing. He grew up poor. His father was in prison. His mother worked two or three jobs to make ends meet. So he had no money and everything going against him and so many obstacles in his way. And yet he managed to create a credit repair business that now makes millions. And that got me thinking about how many people I talk to that don't move forward in their business or in life because they put obstacles in their own way. Now, I talked to somebody yesterday who hadn't gotten very far in launching his business because he was worried about so many things. He was worried about spending money or doing something wrong. I mean, I get that. But to not progress and move forward because of that reason is crazy. So I asked him, I said, so what is your revenue as of today? And his answer, of course, was zero. So there you go. As Andre Coakley says, the best way to start is to start. And this reminds me so much of what the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said. He said, a journey 1000 miles starts with a single step. And I love that quote. And I like to believe that Lao Tzu is talking about bootstrapping a new business. Because the easy way to bootstrap a new business is exactly that. You just take the first step, then you take another, then you take Another it doesn't matter how slow you go or how little money you have. You just need to keep the momentum going. You can't plan for everything that's going to happen, and you can't expect to know everything before you even begin. But not taking that first step because you're unsure of what's going to happen, that's what's crazy. Because you've got nothing to lose. Bootstrapping is how I built credit repair cloud from nothing. And bootstrapping is how our 25 credit repair millionaires got started. What they all have in common is that they all committed to taking that first step. They weren't all successful at the start. No, they all made a lot of mistakes, but they learned and they got better as they went along. And it's so much easier to bootstrap a business these days because you don't have to learn by trial and error like I did. Now you can learn by modeling exactly what the most successful people are doing. And that's the greatest shortcut to success. So there is no sense worrying about all the obstacles that you're going to face even before you start. So don't put any unnecessary obstacles in your way. Go all in. Take the first step and then the next. And then the next. See, here's why this is important. Because no one is going to do this for you. If you want to fire your boss or quit your 9 to 5 job and have financial freedom, you need to start working towards your goal. If you dream of starting your own business, the best way to start is to start. So here's what you need to know. You don't have to quit your day job until you can afford to. You can start with a side hustle. You don't need to make a lot of mistakes or try 10,000 different ways to run your business. And you don't have to reinvent the wheel because all you have to do is watch other people who are doing well in this industry connect with other people who are doing what you're doing. Even if it's other business owners trying to launch other kinds of businesses that are not even related. Just do what you can to be connecting with people who have your same mindset. You need to be around people with your same mindset. And oh, this one's so important. Get involved in our credit repair cloud community because it's one of our greatest resources and it's completely free. And then find out who is local in your area so you can get together offline. And then this is my biggest secret. Okay, this is something I think about every day. Every day. Do at least one thing to move your dream forward. With all the obstacles that Seth Mitchell had to overcome throughout his life, he never would have predicted that he'd be running a business one day that's generating a million dollars in revenue. But worrying about that before he even earned his first dollar in business? That would have been crazy. Remember, if you do start out with a plan, your business will change over time as you learn what works for you and as you learn what doesn't. But don't let fear of the future cripple your desire to to take the first step today. And once you do take that first step, just imagine where you'll be in a year or two or more.
