Hey everyone! My name is Adam Shlomi and I am a 22-year-old senior at Georgetown University from South Florida.

Hey everyone! My name is Adam Shlomi and I am a 22-year-old senior at Georgetown University from South Florida. I am the founder of SoFlo SAT Tutoring, an online SAT/ACT tutoring company that provides exceptional test prep to students across the country. I started this business in my bedroom almost a year ago while I was recovering from ankle surgery. I couldn’t walk for 6 months and SoFlo gave me the motivation to get up in the morning.

SoFlo currently brings in average revenue of $15,000 a month and has seen a linear increase in student sign-ups each month since its official inception in March 2019. Since our customer lifetime is short –our students study for and take the SAT, get the score they want, and then no longer require our services– we invest in and rely heavily on the quality of the service we provide to attract future customers. Happy customers and significant score increases have helped spread the word and grow the brand.

That’s the best part of it. The techniques that I have learned are replicable. You can rinse and repeat and create new drop shipping stores.

Of course, with every store that I open, I am able to learn new things. With every new thing that I learn, it helps me improve my system that I use to create these six and seven-figure stores and it helps me improve my process for helping others generate their stores.

My name is Grigory Pekarsky and I own a residential real estate company called Vesta Preferred.

We operate in the Chicagoland area and this year, 2019, we are celebrating 10 years or operation. We focus on relationship building rather than strictly selling real estate. Our operations are unique as many relationships in our company begin by helping our clients find their first home as a rental property in the city. We then stay in touch and maintain our relationships in hopes of becoming everyone’s broker for life. My personal business is now over 80% referral based and repeat clients due to these principles. This year we are #3 in the city for sales as compared to the 14,000+ individual entities that sell in Chicago.

We consistently grow at a 20% pace and this year we are on pace to write 1000 new leases and sell over $120m in real estate.

And for some real world inspiration, give Nicholeen Peck's story on creating Teaching Self-Government a read:

After over 22 years of speaking to audiences around the world about strengthening their families, creating unified/functional relationships, improving their problem-solving skills, and learning self-government, I still tell people that I’m just a mom and wife who was minding her own business years ago and somehow became an international figure. I never knew that I’d author 11 books, star on a BBC program, build a Teaching Self-Government Parenting Course, or speak at high profile locations like world congresses, global conferences, and the United Nations.

This business has always been about the positive impact more than money for me, but it’s really encouraging that the business has brought in enough money to do the humanitarian work we do to help families in impoverished countries and to pay all the contract laborers I need to employ to make sure that I still have time to put my own family first. We make at least $10K per month and that amount is growing all the time. In these times of social/political/ and economic uncertainty, people are putting their focus on their families, so we are there to give them the support and skills they need to succeed with their highest priorities.

And for some real world inspiration, give Sarah Wolfer's story on creating Girl Boss Sports a read:

My name is Sarah Wolfer and I am the CEO and Founder of Girl Boss Sports. I have been playing soccer since I was 4 years old and coaching soccer since I was 14. I played collegiately and semi-professionally and have coached at all levels from ages 2-22 including at the collegiate level. Most recently I switched sports and have begun playing professional tackle football with the Oregon Ravens who are part of the Women’s National Football Conference. I am also a licensed mental health therapist part-time as I build up my business.

Since starting Girl Boss Sports, I have hired over 20 women to become soccer coaches in the Greater Seattle area - this clearly shows that the common myth that “there are no women interested in or qualified to coach” is in fact false. In addition, we have brought in an average of $4700 of revenue per month over the last 6 months, partnered with over 10 other companies or organizations to work toward the same 2 goals mentioned above, and have worked with hundreds of athletes and teams in the Greater Seattle area.
