Invest In Yourself: The Digital Entrepreneur Podcast
Join Phil Better on Invest in Yourself: The Digital Entrepreneur Podcast for a conversation about building and scaling a business. I share my journey—from kitchen-table startup to seven-figure success, and beyond.
Building a Business from Scratch
My entrepreneurial journey began unexpectedly.
Organizing cycling uniforms for friends.
Dissatisfied with suppliers.
I sourced directly from manufacturers.
Unknowingly creating a business.
Operating from my kitchen table.
While working a day job.
Built a thriving side hustle.
Turning over $300,000 annually by 24.
Scaling to seven figures.
Early success.
But arrogance and burnout followed.
By 27, I was $200,000 in debt.
Enduring a marriage breakdown.
Personal struggles. A real wake-up call.
Turning Adversity into Strength
I didn’t give up. Rebuilt my business. Regained profitability. Sold it before 30.
This rollercoaster taught me
Business isn’t just about money.
It’s a tool for creating freedom and enriching life.
Helping Others Climb Their Mountain:
Now, at Evolve to Grow I guide other entrepreneurs.
Success isn’t just financial gains –It’s a growth mindset.
It’s about balance.
Key Takeaways
- Business as a tool: Enhance life. Freedom and opportunity.
- Resilience matters: Failure is a stepping stone.
- Mindset is key: Positive outlook fuels long-term success and happiness.
My journey underscores humility and perseverance.
Using business as a platform.
For personal and professional fulfillment.
