Success Comes From Leaving Your Comfort Zone Sep 17, 2020

Show notes

Before John Lee Dumas launched Entrepreneurs on Fire, he was… miserable. John had what from the outside looked like a nice shiny job in corporate finance, but on the inside, the whole scene was driving him nuts. He felt trapped, and to break free, he jumped into the deep end and started a business whose sole purpose was helping other people start their business. The first 13 months of this project were pretty underwhelming, as he’ll explain, but he kept at it, kept at it, and eventually… ka-ching. John now makes six figures a month from Entrepreneurs on Fire, and he joined us to talk about that success, sure, but also the self-doubt that used to haunt him, the morning routine that does religiously to keep his inner game in check, and how he knew it was time to ditch his steady, stable life and launch something of his own.

When Vlad moved from Ukraine to the United States, his end goal was to start a business but the steep learning curve and time-consuming process meant he needed to secure a job to pay the bills while he worked it all out.

When he finally had enough money saved up, he quit – a decision that many thought was crazy – and launched his own business. Today, he's the proud owner of a business (not his first) that brought in over $200,000 in sales last year. But this success isn't without its ups and downs. Vlad joins us in this episode of Start Yours to share with us his journey to success and the lessons he's learned along the way.

Alex and Andrew, aka The Bizzy Boys, started making cold brew coffee out of true love of the product in their cramped apartment in 2013 after being fed up with paying $5 for a cup from a coffee shop. Like most at-home cold brewers, they started by using what they had on hand, a crummy grinder and some cheap coffee beans. They couldn’t understand why they couldn’t get the same smooth and sweet flavour that they were used to getting from their local coffee shop. With Andrew’s background in R&D Engineering and Alex’s background in Consumer Research, they set out on a mission to create the best tasting cold brew coffee in the world. @bizzycoffee has now become the #1 seller of cold brew coffee on Amazon and in this episode of Start Yours Alex shares some great information about how they took the leap to launch the business, how Amazon has become the powerhouse platform behind their sales and tips for working with friends.

Today's guest, Chris Wane is proof that persistence pays off. It took him five failed ecommerce stores and hundreds of trialed products before he struck a winning formula. He battled through self-doubt and negativity from others around him, who laughed and dismissed his budding business as a “get rich quick scheme.” He began with rocky financial foundations, and came worryingly close to losing his entire budget. Less than two years later, his dropshipping store Big Red Gadgets has generated over $537,457 in revenue. With a profit margin of 20% bringing his take-home amount to over $100,000, Chris’ life has transformed before his eyes.
