Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Matthew Neer, Founder of Digital Bankroll, located in Miami, FL, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We sell products primarily to other entrepreneurs or people who are looking to become entrepreneurs.
Tell us about yourself
I got a start in door-to-door sales, selling long-distance and other telecommunication services. It was pretty fucking grueling, but it taught me sales, and that skillset is something I will use for the rest of my life. And nowadays, I share what I have learned to help more entrepreneurs leverage digital sales channels in their businesses.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
This could go in many different directions but probably the ability to force myself to get things done that I don't want to do. It doesn't matter if you want to do it or not; you just get it done. And it's the little things, the boring things like that, that create success.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The abundance of opportunity is so great today that it's easy to get distracted with new and potential things; you must learn how to say no to most things and only focus your energy on the things that will provide the greatest possible return for your time invested.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Ahh, man, I dunno if these are gonna be tips, but more like warnings, lol.
- It is possible to do very, very well, but it's going to take longer than you think to really get where you wanna be. Prepare yourself for severe levels of disappointment, failure, and genuine ass-kicking.
- Other people will try to get you to help them with their goals. This could be positive or negative. Look for win-wins and when you find one that works for you, double down on that.
- It's worth it. The barrier to entry to "the good life" is high. Not everyone can get there. And that is why you need to push yourself to reach it. Because it's possible, can you can.
