In this first-person narrative, the speaker recounts his entrepreneurial and sales career trajectory. He launched his first business at age 14, then at 18 joined a merchant services company where he learned cold‑calling and deal‑closing. Excelling quickly, he earned a promotion that moved him from Ohio to Louisiana. There he opened and managed multiple sales offices across Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi, building and leading a team of sales representatives. Observing the company's rapid expansion—160 new offices in a year and a half—he anticipated operational strain and decided to leave and start his own independent venture, confident in his ability to replicate and improve the model.

Chapters

You launched your first business at 14. From there, where did things take you? Started into sales. I got hired on with a company in the merchant services business and started learning sales and how to close deals and how to cold call and all that sort of stuff at 18 and ended up doing super well. They promoted me and had me go from Ohio to Louisiana and ended up opening up several sales offices throughout Louisiana and Arkansas and Mississippi for them in the merchant services business and running a team and sales reps and everything. And one day I was like watching, like, oh man, they opened up like 160 sales offices in like a year and a half. I'm like, they're gonna, something's gonna happen. They're gonna have to shut some down. So I was like, I, I know I can do this and figure it out on my own.
