ROTE 062: Mike Campion and Building a “Done for You” Business

With the internet creating new millionaires and even billionaires every single day, everyone with an idea thinks they are now an “entrepreneur”. However, there is a big difference between coming up with “ideas” and actually putting them into motion and making something happen.

How many times have you heard someone say “they stole my idea” or “that was my idea”?… exactly, everyone says it! Even the person who originally thought of that idea, service or product probably wasn’t the first person to think of it, they were simply the one to take action on it — making them the ultimate entrepreneur.

Twenty years ago, before the internet, there were still entrepreneurs… just not everyone thinking they were one!

It’s time to go old school and start an offline business the hard way, and eventually transition to the online world that we are all so focused on today… all in the latest episode of Rise of the Entrepreneur with Mike Campion.

Mike Campion is an entrepreneur who has successfully created and sold two different seven figure businesses.

While the word “entrepreneur” may seem like glitz and glamour, not everyone gets started in the dot com world of business and opportunity. Mike knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur and have his own business, he just wasn’t sure how. Without a college degree and a lot of money to invest in a new business, Mike decided to get started with his own ServiceMaster commercial cleaning business. From day one his business was on a downward spiral… however, Mike had the heart and hustle to make big things happen! Jump forward several years later and Mike has built and sold two different businesses or millions of dollars and now helps local small businesses bring their attention and efforts online.
