Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jeremy Torisk, Owner of Atlantic Business Coaching, located in Pompano Beach, FL, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am a Business Strategist who takes businesses from CHAOS to CASHFLOW! I especially like the small businesses that want to hit that Million Dollar Mark. Surprisingly, very few small businesses do over $1,000,000 in revenue in a year.

I am also an author with two published books, "Labor to Leadership: My Journey from Pit Digger to CEO", and "The Business Treasure Hunter: Ten Areas For Fast Exponential Growth."

Tell us about yourself

Homeless from 17-20, had drug addicts for parents, lost 2 brothers to suicide, and quit school in 10th grade; 7 words gave me my first mindset shift from Reactive to Proactive at 20 years old, and since then, I have built 3 businesses that generated over 60-million dollars per year for over ten years.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Sold the last business for $35,000,000 ( I was a 10% equity share owner), that was in 2020.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Not knowing what you don't know - that is why everyone needs a coach to expose our blind spots.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Know that there are 12 Principles of Business, and you will need all of them to succeed.
  2. Be prepared to sacrifice EVERYTHING - many times over before you find long-term success, and even THAT is not guaranteed!
  3. Have a good business coach, life partner, and friends who support you and are going in the same direction as you are (hint: probably no one you know today fits that description). Be ready to lose them ALL.
