Phone
VisitI remember reading the email while sitting at a Starbucks in Miami. “Tim, I’m going to be investing my money elsewhere.” My investor pulled out. And not even with a phone call… She did it through email.
Everything was lined up and ready to launch but now I didn’t have the capital I was going to need.
It was at this point that I had two options.
Option One: Spend the next 6-12 months raising capital
Option Two: Go out and get clients and build my own cashflow machine
So I meet with my mentor Mark V. This guy started a company in college, built it to a thousand employees, retired at 37, got bored, and started a venture capital firm… Smart guy for sure.
Anyways, I asked him what I should do and he said “Tim, if you can create a million-dollar company without investors… do that.”
And so, with no money, clients or employees, I launched PEMA from a coffee shop. And, I signed up 5 clients in the first week. And, hired my first employee within my first couple of months. And within just over a year we hit that “Million-Dollar Company” status.
Now, I’ve been an entrepreneur for 10 years now. And I’ve had plenty of big failures. So while this looks like an overnight success, in all reality, it’s taken me a long time to finally figure it out.
Here is the good news for you. You don’t have to spend the next 10 years trying to figure it out.
The truth is, the process that I used to create this fast success is the exact same process I use for my clients.
It’s the process that helped my friend Brook land $60K in deals within her first 3 months. It is the exact same process that helped my client Elliot land one $30K deal in his first 2 and a half months. And it is the same process we use for every client.
