Tell us about yourself
My dad is a Pastor, and my mom was a teacher, very humble beginnings. So I knew that in order to change circumstances and experience success, I'd have to learn the business. So I started an award-winning video production company and created ads for Fortune 100 brands. But, when it came to building websites, sales funnels, or selling directly online, it was a huge hassle..., especially for someone who is non-technical. I was connecting sales funnel platforms to course platforms to upsell tools to pipelines and more... the whole house of cards was held together by duct tape. So I decided to build a SINGLE system that allowed me to sell almost ANYTHING and get the SEO and speed benefits of WordPress... and thus, DropFunnels was born!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Bootstrapping this business from zero to multiple 7-figures has been both rewarding and challenging. And now, I understand exactly what it takes to launch or scale nearly any company.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Regulating your own energy. Your energy falls to your team, your product, and ultimately your customers. Maintaining momentum, taking care of yourself, and keeping a positive culture is critical to business growth - and it's the single most underrated facet of growing a business.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Sell it before you build it. You do NOT need a perfect product or even a finished product before you sell it. Collect the cash first, get customers first, and the rest will fall in place.
- Stay humble and kill your ego. There is always something you won't know, so be open and flexible to make decisions quickly and pivot where necessary.
- Don't build a product; build a movement. The community aspect of your product will propel it in a way you cannot buy.
