10 years ago I was bankrupt and squatting in a foreclosed home after the economy tanked and lost my job and everything else I had ever worked for. After working for various shop from home direct sales organizations for more than 15 years such as Kirby Vacuums, Empire Today formerly known as Empire Home Services, and Express Flooring in both Phoenix and Denver, I knew that I loved selling inside people's homes. Door to door sales is not for everyone, in fact most people are too afraid to try it, but I loved it.
I had nothing to lose because I already lost it all so I decided to set out to make my life's dreams come true. I knew i would never be able to accomplish it all by working for someone else, so I decided to jump in all the way and start my own business.
In 2010 I started a shop from home carpet and flooring store in Metro Detroit called The Carpet Guys. I had zero money, zero credit, no home, no office, and no car. I had no idea how to start a business from scratch especially with no money. I was homeless for crying out loud squatting in a house for 6 months without any heat in the middle of winter in Michigan. My car got repossessed so how on earth could I ever become successful. Well, it happened. I started from zero and within 2 years was generating over $1,000,000.00 per year in sales. By year three we sold over $3 Million dollars and then over $5 Million the following year. By our 8th year in business, we we crossed the $20 million dollar per year mark and this year we are on pace to sell $30,000,000.00 in sales in just one single market in Metro Detroit Michigan. How did I do it? Subscribe and watch my videos and I will share the secrets I learned about how to start a business and how to be profitable and become successful in the flooring industry.
