Hey all!
Long time lurker...rare poster but have followed this community for many years. In fact I attended the 2016 Fastlane Summit @ Talking Stick! Had this in the INSIDERS group but wanted more feedback & I'm comfortable with this being more "public" so posted on the whole forum.
For the last 8 years I've built up a business in the secondary ticketing world.....ticket scalper/broker whatever you want to call it! Our little name for it was The Ticket Magician Theticketmagician.com
Before COVID hit we were 8 full time employees and another 15-20 part time "buyers" depending on the week. Revenue for 2019 was slightly above 10 million...and profits weren't bad either.
Obviously with the virus, concerts/sports with fans are very much on pause. While that absolutely stinks, I'm not concerned about it coming back....the demand will be quite high...and we've actually been selling a decent amount for events in 2021. All encouraging.
Thankfully I've been very conservative with our finances and I'm fine with cash for the near future....but in the meantime I've gotten the itch to stay busy and create something new.
Enter what I hope will grow to become a real thing....Kevin Solves.

Essentially it’s a free consulting service for all sorts of things in people's lives. Given the circumstances we’re all in….I’m expecting people to be faced with even more challenges than normal and I want to help.
I’m talking about everything from business strategy, marketing, HR all the way to things outside the office like getting your Peloton bike earlier than they say. No joke I was quoted 2 month waiting period and I got it 2 weeks later. Things like that I’m quite resourceful with!
Over the last 10 years of building up The Ticket Magician, I’ve learned so much and feel I’m not some “guru” trying to sell myself despite not accomplishing anything.
My goal here is to really learn about what problems are out there, throw myself into helping and maybe finding areas of need in which businesses can be built.
That’s really why I’m doing it for free. Prove that I can provide value and build up a network from there in a field I’m not known in.
What I'd also like to do is document each person I help and turn those into content for Youtube.
While none of this is Fastlane, I do hope that something Fastlane will come out of it.
As of today, I've sent the website/video out to my Linkedin network and FB. This is the 3rd place I've broadcasted it.
My plan is to post on my Instagram shortly, some reddit threads and then target individual people in my Linkedin network with personal messages.
Will be sure to keep this updated as we go.
Would love any feedback!
