This is a short transcript excerpt from a YouTube interview in which Nicole Scott describes how she turned credit-repair activity into a business. She began by posting credit-repair results on her personal Facebook (helping family and friends), attracted inbound inquiries, felt intimidated but decided to take the leap to start serving paying clients to escape her "rat race."
How did you first start to turn it into a business? Facebook. I had a Facebook account that had a lot of people that I grew up with, and I started posting results on Facebook because I was fixing my credit. I was fixing my boyfriend's credit, my mom's credit. So I was getting all of their results, and I started helping, like, all my other friends. And then I kind of realized, like, hey, people who don't want this, don't take it serious. So I only want to help people that really want this. So I started advertising the results on Facebook, and I wasn't trying to sell people, but rather saying, hey, look at the results that I'm getting. And a lot of people would reach out saying, hey, I need help. And at that point, I was like, oh, my God. I was so scared to help them because I wasn't sure of myself at that point, you know? But I took the leap. I said, you know what? I'm just going to do it. I need to get out of this rat race that I'm in. And thank God I did.
