Story time!

Story time!

 
This is one of my least favorite stories to tell.  
 
Why? 
 
Because this story is about the one thing I hate the most, and all of the times I’ve experienced it firsthand
 
 
This is a story about my personal failures
 
 
Goodness America.  I’ve failed a lot.  Part of me tells this story just to remind myself that I’m still a highly capable fugup if I put my mind to it..  but I digress.   
 
 
Failure #1 
 
 
Leadroar.com 
 
 
The idea was sound in theory.  Create a B2B lead generation company that sells leads to other companies.  Simple!  I mean how hard could it be?  Everyone needs leads for their business.  On top of lead generation I’d offer marketing services like SEO, I could also build websites.  You name it.  It was my first venture into entrepreneurship.  I honestly had high hopes. 
 
The moment the glass broke-
 
I realized that I was severely underfunded to make this venture work.  For being a “lead generation” company...  I wasn’t really good at generating leads.  I figured that “lead generation” consisted of hopping onto referenceUSA and doing some research/data scraping to put together some email addresses.  On top of that...  I couldn’t find any clients.  I was in over my head and honestly had no idea what I was doing. Turns out looking up business ideas on YouTube isn’t really the best thing to base MAJOR LIFE DECISIONS on.  
 
Not to mention,  I quit a really good mortgage job to start this venture.  
 
Eventually.. 
 
I ran out of capital to keep even the website up.  This ended without me making even a single sale.  YIKES. 
 
 
Side note:  lost a GF out of this whole equation too.  Turns out supporting a failing entrepreneur doesn’t really get the juices going.  Talk about insult meeting injury amirite. 
 
 
Failure #2 
 
 
R&Rhomepros.com 
 
 
Oh man.  
 
 
So this was a B2C lead generation model.  The idea was this.  
 
Let’s make a helpful blog semi-plagiarizing home advisor where people submit their information after researching various home projects & their costs.  (Think replacing windows/refinishing their decks etc).  Once I have this information, I could sell it to vendors in the area that actually supply this work.  SIMPLE!  EASY MONEY! 
 
 
WRONG! 
 
 
when the glass broke- 
 
 
Turns out...  
 
Competing with home advisor is really really hard.  Not only that,  I couldn’t get r&rhomepros to rank nearly as high enough as I needed it to on google to get enough traffic to my website to make this idea viable.  I didn’t have the SEO expertise and had unrealistic expectations of the time it would take to make this all work.  Eventually,  I ran out of capital and the website came down.  Sad face.   Queue the violins.   
 
 
WHAT I LEARNED FROM ALL OF THIS fuging FAILURE.  
 
 
 
do not reinvent the wheel.  The easiest/least painful way to succeed is to simply emulate somebody that has experienced success,  and reverse engineer the way they did it.  
 
 
If I could do it all over again,  I would’ve used the credit I had and leveraged it into purchasing a “sure thing”.  A simple model with case studies of success to back it up.  A simple model that follows these steps 
 
 
  1. Product 
  2. Website 
  3. Traffic to website 
  4. SALES! 
 
 
This is as complicated as it needs to be.  This is the key to making money online... from ANYWHERE.  
 
 
So.   If you want to own something...  make a ton of money and be free...   I’ve got good news! 
 
 
 
YOU DONT HAVE TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES I HAVE.  YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE STRESS AND SELF-DOUBT.  YOU DONT HAVE TO FAIL.  
 
 
You don’t have to see everything fall apart around you.  
 
 
I’ve already failed enough for all of us.  I promise.  
 
 
 
I have got a solution that has been proven to help people just like you, actually succeed in a digital space to make passive income.  A solution that can get you the freedom you deserve without dealing with the pitfalls I fell into.    And I won’t charge you a dime for showing you the way.
 
 
 
If you’ve been searching for a solution to the same problems you’ve always had...  
 
If you want to get your feet wet with the whole entrepreneurship hat. 
 
 
 
talk to me first.  Inbox me and ill at least give you the insight to get you in the right direction
 
 
 
Always a pleasure

P.S. I like the new girlfriend a lot more than the old one.

    • I thought he was from watching him play and also doing his first HC job. I thought he was the real deal  Apparently what happened is Kraft committed to Mayo and I don’t remember the timeline exactly - but Vrabel was unemployed at the same time Belichick was unemployed. They both were fired after the 2023 season.  Kraft hired Mayo. Who was kind of an obvious disaster. He probably already had the deal in place but I will give Kraft credit for not sleeping. With Vrabel out there for 2025 he made the move he needed to make and if it hurt Mayo’s feelings then oh well.  I guess you can tell I am not fond of Kraft but that was a really savvy move. At his age, pretty good. Still has it. 
    • It’s going to feel like a home game for the bills. There are so many of their fans that live down here now, and many of them have never seen Allen play in person since their last visit was 8 years ago. It didn’t matter for the cowboys game, but it might here. I think we likely lose a close one. Probably a questionable flag or two that doesn’t go our way. X factor for Buffalo will be Kincaid and Knox. If we do win it’s because we get ahead and play keep away from Allen. FYI- I have many friends who are Bills fans that are fed up with Beane who we all revere and think is the one that got away. They feel like he was great to land Josh but has done a terrible job of building around him (especially at WR) and rely on him to become super man to win- sounds kind of familiar, like the last time we had a franchise QB.    
    • I always thought of him as an uptight military family dude, didn't know he needs to wash that mouth out with soap lol.
