{Success Story} Feeling stuck? A six month case study of when I dropped everything to buy a business

[Greg R]

Pretty soon I'm going to have to name this thread to "How I dropped everything to buy a business and grow it to the point of quitting my job."

I wanted to talk a little bit about help and why it is essential to your operation.

Without the help of other people, my progress would probably be 25% of what it currently is.

I'm going to try and lay out what "help" made the most impact. This goes beyond the obvious ones like the books, the Forum, etc..

1. Mentor- Helped pushed me to make that life changing decision and helped me work through the business deal.
2. E'Commerce Mastermind- Especially in the beginning stages when I had no clue (I still might not have a clue), the mastermind help me push through some of the easier challenges.
3. Family/ Friends- Yes, I hired family to help me get everything moving in the beginning. They helped with financing, B&M selling, creative work, to packing and shipping. And even flying out to trade shows with me. You would be surprised to see how many people want to contribute in helping your dreams come true.
4. Paid Coach- Right now I'm at the point where it was time for a paid business coach. The point of this is to help take your operation to the next level. From lifestyle business to big investors. Just like anything else, if you want to get better at something, you need to train with people who are better than you. You don't take karate lessons from a red belt if your plan is to be a black belt.
