I have been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember. Back in junior high school, I used to buy Now&Laters and then resell them to other kids in school. I don’t recommend this since they were not allowed in school. But it did make for good margins. Haha. I also had a DJ business in high school and college.
In my adult life, I started Blackbird e-Solutions LLC a marketing agency. Then in the past few years, I started a soccer-related business that helps inexperienced, volunteer, and parent youth soccer coaches: The Soccer Handbook. We provide full-season coaching plans for youth soccer teams backed by licensed coaches.
Most of my experience has been with startups. Startups can be very powerful as well as very challenging. When you start a business from scratch, you must:
- Take an idea and make it a reality.
- Find product market fit.
- Build sales.
- Find a process that works for many different parts of the business.
I’ve done this and, well… I am still doing it. It is always a work in progress.
In the last few years, I have also toyed around with the idea of working with investors to acquire online businesses where I would be the operator. At some point along the way, I discovered the ETA community. Entrepreneur Through Acquisition
The basic concept of ETA is to enter the world of entrepreneurship by acquiring an existing business. While I’m not becoming an entrepreneur by buying a business, I am applying the concept to level up my entrepreneurial career.
I recently announced this. You can check it out on various platforms:
