This
guy
makes
over
5
million
a
year
running
three
different
businesses
And
the
crazy
part
is
he
started
from
nothing
I
flew
out
to
Denver
Colorado
to
ask
him
exactly
how
he
got
started
how
he
runs
all
these
businesses
at
the
same
time
and
the
marketing
strategy
he
used
to
go
from
zero
to
two
and
a
half
million
with
his
first
business
We
generated
and
still
generate
a
lot
of
our
leads
Tim
started
out
as
a
solopreneur
He
was
all
in
on
one
business
But
this
business
had
a
problem
The
more
it
grew
the
more
hours
he
had
to
work
every
Then
one
day
he
stumbles
onto
an
opportunity
that
would
change
everything
He
decided
to
become
a
multipreneur
The
big
goal
is
to
build
a
portfolio
of
assets
that
essentially
do
all
the
hard
work
for
me
In
this
video
Tim
will
share
how
he
built
a
team
to
run
his
5
million
portfolio
of
businesses
businesses
how
to
find
and
close
big
clients
and
the
best
business
model
to
start
as
a
beginner
I
still
think
it's
the
best
business
for
somebody
to
start
I'm
Pat
Walls
and
this
is
Starter
Store
All
right
Tim
What's
up
buddy
Thank
you
for
having
me
Sure
thanks
for
being
here
In
your
amazing
house
in
Denver
Colorado
Tell
me
about
who
you
are
and
everything
you
built
Great
Well
my
name
is
Tim
Stoddart
I
own
an
SEO
lead
generation
agency
called
Stodzy
Internet
Marketing
This
year
for
Stodzy
we'll
do
probably
like
2
5
million
but
on
the
side
and
more
and
more
throughout
the
day
I
find
myself
running
a
personal
holdings
company
My
guess
is
it'll
be
like
5
2
to
5
5
million
for
2024
Amazing
Can
you
break
down
each
of
the
different
businesses
that
you
run
within
your
holding
company
Sure
Stodzy
Internet
Marketing
is
the
main
driver
of
everything
else
That
generates
the
cash
and
the
revenue
to
make
all
the
other
stuff
go
Subsequently
to
Stodzy
is
Recovery
Local
That's
sort
of
the
parent
company
that
owns
SoberNation
com
YourFirstStep
com
DetoxLocal
com
and
MedicallyAssisted
com
Then
there's
CopyBlogger
com
So
CopyBlogger
teaches
people
how
to
write
for
the
internet
how
to
build
newsletters
how
to
do
SEO
on
websites
how
to
write
on
LinkedIn
So
I've
built
up
equity
in
like
five
or
six
other
companies
over
the
last
couple
of
years
years
but
those
three
are
the
main
ones
So
you
have
all
these
different
companies
What's
the
big
goal
What's
the
strategy
of
running
different
multiple
companies
Well
the
big
goal
is
to
build
a
portfolio
of
assets
that
essentially
do
all
the
hard
work
for
me
I
had
a
real
like
click
moment
Like
oh
wow
I
don't
have
to
just
work
for
a
paycheck
every
week
I
can
use
the
money
I
make
through
Stodzy
through
my
agency
reinvest
it
into
cash
flowing
assets
and
eventually
build
up
a
portfolio
portfolio
where
the
businesses
the
company
themselves
just
do
the
hard
work
for
me
I
just
made
up
my
mind
to
do
it
I've
been
doing
it
ever
since
Can
you
give
me
a
timeline
of
how
you
got
started
and
how
you
got
into
the
business
of
entrepreneurship
I
grew
up
a
blue
collar
kid
I
built
houses
for
most
of
my
childhood
My
dad
worked
at
the
airport
and
my
mom
was
a
nurse
And
so
I
just
thought
I'd
be
working
my
whole
life
Got
in
trouble
a
lot
when
I
was
younger
and
I
had
a
bit
of
a
drug
problem
So
the
time
came
when
I
needed
to
change
my
life
and
I
went
to
rehab
and
I
got
sober
About
six
months
into
that
journey
a
friend
basically
a
mentor
bought
me
a
subscription
to
Success
Magazine
which
had
this
CD
in
it
And
it
was
this
interview
and
it
was
this
guy
named
Seth
Godin
He
said
start
a
blog
Don't
tell
anybody
about
it
and
write
in
it
every
day
And
there
was
something
about
that
message
where
I
thought
like
you
know
what
I
can
do
that
I
don't
know
why
it
felt
like
it
was
a
good
direction
for
me
but
I
just
I
knew
I
could
do
that
So
I
started
a
blog
spot
and
I
would
just
write
random
articles
about
like
my
day
and
what
I
was
feeling
and
experiences
I
had
And
there
was
other
people
that
might
have
been
getting
sober
or
might
have
been
going
through
a
journey
of
themselves
And
they
were
saying
like
oh
I
really
relate
to
this
Or
like
I
felt
the
same
way
But
I
was
wondering
how
are
these
people
finding
my
blog
Like
I
didn't
tell
anybody
about
it
So
I
started
researching
and
I
discovered
SEO
I
discovered
search
And
then
I
would
read
Copyblogger
every
day
and
just
improve
my
skills
of
being
an
online
writer
And
yeah
eventually
that
blog
spot
account
turned
into
Sober
Nation
And
that's
how
I
got
my
start
Yeah
I
love
that
you
found
the
skill
of
writing
because
actually
writing
was
one
of
my
skills
that
helped
me
build
Starter
Story
And
what's
amazing
about
Starter
Story
is
there
are
thousands
of
case
studies
on
founders
who
had
some
sort
of
skill
like
writing
or
coding
or
design
that
were
able
to
take
that
one
skill
and
turn
it
into
a
business
that
changed
their
lives
If
you're
looking
to
take
your
skills
and
passions
and
turn
it
into
an
online
business
you
should
check
out
our
workshop
that
we're
running
where
I
share
the
story
about
how
I
turned
my
skills
which
was
actually
writing
into
a
million
dollar
business
how
I
found
that
business
idea
how
I
executed
on
that
and
built
that
business
on
two
hours
a
day
while
I
had
a
full
time
job
If
you're
curious
about
learning
more
about
that
you
can
find
the
first
link
in
the
description
and
save
a
seat
for
yourself
See
you
there
All
right
so
you
got
this
blog
People
are
reading
your
blog
They're
commenting
How
do
you
turn
this
into
a
business
All
of
a
sudden
with
Sober
Nation
treatment
centers
and
behavioral
health
care
centers
were
reaching
out
to
me
saying
like
how
did
you
build
this
community
How
did
you
build
this
audience
And
so
we
took
the
traffic
that
was
coming
from
Sober
Nation
and
almost
turned
it
into
like
a
lead
generation
media
outlet
I
remember
I
got
my
first
client
It
was
2
000
a
month
and
we
just
kept
doing
it
and
doing
it
and
doing
it
And
it's
scaling
ever
since
Give
me
a
little
bit
more
of
a
breakdown
about
how
you
built
it
So
you
had
your
first
client
Then
what
did
you
do
from
there
We
generated
and
still
generate
a
lot
of
our
leads
through
SEO
It
was
one
keyword
in
particular
that
I
ranked
for
It
was
just
drug
rehab
marketing
And
then
we
started
writing
for
drug
rehab
SEO
drug
rehab
lead
generation
So
if
there's
like
one
message
that
somebody
can
get
from
me
it's
that
you
don't
have
to
build
this
giant
media
entity
Like
you
can
tackle
it
one
keyword
one
article
at
a
time
The
trick
is
to
be
methodical
about
it
That's
why
I
hate
the
advice
Like
just
make
great
stuff
Just
be
yourself
It's
just
being
yourself
is
like
terrible
SEO
advice
What
you
want
to
do
is
you
want
to
know
what
people
are
searching
for
You
can
figure
that
out
just
by
going
to
trends
google
com
Type
in
a
bunch
of
keywords
See
what
keywords
are
available
And
then
write
an
article
that
best
solves
the
particular
problem
that
that
person
has
I
always
think
of
Google
as
a
problem
solving
machine
You
never
go
to
Google
for
anything
else
other
than
to
solve
a
problem
And
so
if
you
can
write
an
article
that
best
solves
that
person's
problem
you
can
generate
leads
And
then
all
of
a
sudden
you
can
build
a
business
Yeah
Can
you
tell
me
the
pros
and
cons
of
building
and
running
this
agency
Agencies
are
great
because
there's
no
real
upstart
capital
You
don't
have
to
build
anything
You
just
need
to
get
a
client
And
then
all
of
a
sudden
you're
a
profitable
business
They're
hard
because
they're
difficult
to
scale
So
like
every
new
client
you
bring
in
you
know
you
have
to
do
more
work
You
have
to
onboard
them
You
know
every
like
two
or
three
or
four
clients
or
however
many
you
got
to
hire
another
employee
right
But
nonetheless
I
still
think
it's
the
best
business
for
somebody
to
start
because
you
just
need
a
client
Once
you
get
your
first
client
all
of
a
sudden
you
have
a
profitable
business
So
yeah
Let's
talk
about
sales
and
closing
deals
Do
you
have
any
tips
on
negotiation
and
how
to
close
a
deal
There's
only
a
couple
of
things
you
need
to
know
about
closing
deals
One
is
learn
how
to
ask
questions
so
that
the
person
tells
you
their
pain
points
You
want
the
person
to
tell
you
their
problems
When
that's
happening
I
just
write
down
what
the
person
says
I
write
down
the
problem
and
I
respond
with
a
solution
to
that
problem
problem
The
second
most
important
thing
is
to
get
like
the
price
out
of
the
way
in
the
very
beginning
because
what
always
happens
you
go
through
this
whole
pitch
and
then
people
say
okay
I'll
call
you
back
Let
me
think
about
it
And
that's
the
worst
thing
that
can
happen
So
I
would
start
a
conversation
by
saying
like
hey
look
just
do
me
a
favor
and
let
me
know
if
you're
serious
about
this
That
way
you
get
like
a
commitment
You
actually
get
the
deal
closed
And
then
the
last
and
absolutely
most
important
thing
is
ask
for
the
deal
Here's
my
line
for
this
is
the
best
line
It's
are
you
ready
to
get
started
So
you
got
to
say
you
say
are
you
ready
to
get
started
And
the
trick
is
you
shut
up
And
so
what
I
do
is
I
say
are
you
ready
to
get
started
And
then
I
mute
my
phone
and
I
put
it
in
front
of
me
and
I
just
sit
there
And
that's
when
you
close
the
deal
So
you
build
this
agency
It's
profitable
It's
generating
cash
Then
you
start
buying
businesses
Can
you
tell
me
more
about
what
that
looked
like
The
first
one
was
a
company
called
Moving
Local
Again
like
a
lead
generation
site
People
buy
moving
leads
a
lot
I
built
another
one
called
Stem
Cell
Authority
which
was
lead
generation
for
the
stem
cell
industry
I've
recently
invested
in
a
company
called
Kappa
which
is
an
AI
content
creation
tool
It's
mainly
for
SEO
It's
an
SEO
tool
I
was
one
of
the
founding
investors
in
a
company
called
Sparkloop
It's
a
way
for
people
to
build
their
email
lists
It
works
with
Beehive
and
it
works
with
ConvertKit
There's
a
website
called
Your
Boulder
which
I
bought
which
is
a
newsletter
that
goes
out
to
the
people
of
Boulder
Colorado
There's
another
SEO
agency
called
Digital
Commerce
We
saw
a
big
opportunity
to
do
SEO
for
people
that
want
to
build
email
lists
and
sell
digital
products
or
sell
courses
or
sell
eBooks
or
subscriptions
whatever
the
case
may
be
We
have
another
agency
Most
recently
I
just
invested
in
a
company
called
Hey
Creator
Hey
Creator
is
kind
of
like
a
creator
studio
you
could
call
it
of
people
that
are
all
trying
to
build
these
creator
driven
businesses
Then
of
course
I
bought
Copyblogger
That's
going
really
well
but
I'm
still
running
Recovery
Local
and
I'm
still
running
my
agency
That's
really
where
I
spend
most
of
my
time
So
you're
running
and
have
equity
in
multiple
companies
at
the
same
time
What
are
some
of
the
pros
and
cons
of
running
multiple
companies
Well
the
cons
is
more
mental
Sometimes
I
think
about
how
much
more
simple
my
life
would
be
if
I
just
had
one
thing
to
focus
on
and
I
didn't
have
to
keep
track
of
so
much
stuff
in
my
mind
The
pros
are
that
I
love
hearing
new
ideas
I
love
researching
new
opportunities
And
so
that
keeps
me
really
engaged
And
I
really
think
that
investing
in
private
businesses
especially
investing
in
cash
flowing
businesses
that's
just
a
great
way
to
make
sure
your
money
keeps
growing
on
itself
and
growing
on
itself
All
right
let's
talk
about
tools
and
software
that
you
run
multiple
businesses
on
What
are
your
favorite
ones
Well
Slack
is
a
must
It's
just
a
great
communication
tool
especially
now
that
we're
all
over
the
country
Underutilized
is
Loom
Like
Loom
is
the
best
You
can
just
get
your
idea
out
one
time
and
people
don't
have
to
stop
what
they're
doing
to
know
what
it
is
that
you
need
to
tell
them
Todoist
is
great
for
me
It's
the
simplest
task
management
tool
but
I
write
down
all
the
tasks
that
I
need
to
assign
I
record
them
in
videos
videos
and
then
I
assign
them
on
Todoist
And
then
that's
it
The
rest
of
the
day
takes
care
of
itself
Although
it's
the
most
expensive
HubSpot
in
my
opinion
is
definitely
the
best
CRM
It
makes
it
easy
to
keep
track
of
your
leads
to
keep
track
of
your
network
and
then
ClickUp
I
think
if
you're
running
a
real
established
agency
Todoist
isn't
going
to
be
enough
It's
just
not
robust
enough
And
so
Todoist
is
really
where
I
manage
my
personal
holdings
company
but
ClickUp
is
where
Stodzy
runs
That's
like
our
real
task
management
software
So
Slack
Todoist
Loom
HubSpot
and
ClickUp
And
then
of
course
Google
Drive
Like
sometimes
we
laugh
that
basically
every
tool
that
anybody
makes
is
just
like
a
modified
version
of
Google
Sheets
and
Google
Docs
So
like
yeah
Google
Drive
is
a
must
So
your
goal
is
to
build
these
self
sustaining
businesses
and
now
you
have
a
team
How
was
it
going
from
just
a
solopreneur
to
building
a
team
I
had
access
to
a
lot
of
young
people
that
were
just
getting
into
recovery
I
hired
them
like
straight
out
of
halfway
houses
and
we've
all
built
this
together
over
the
last
10
years
So
in
terms
of
managing
a
team
read
the
e
myth
revisited
That
book
changed
my
life
I
just
realized
that
I
am
in
the
way
of
everything
I
am
literally
the
biggest
problem
in
the
company
and
the
best
thing
I
can
do
for
the
company
is
document
processes
be
organized
about
it
teach
and
then
get
the
hell
out
of
the
way
Because
I
don't
do
anything
except
mess
things
up
when
I
get
in
the
middle
of
it
So
read
the
e
myth
and
read
it
again
and
then
read
it
a
third
time
and
take
notes
on
it
and
just
do
everything
that
book
says
and
you'll
be
fine
Yeah
So
you've
invested
in
tons
of
businesses
and
you've
built
tons
of
businesses
How
do
you
approach
finding
great
business
ideas
and
knowing
when
to
invest
invest
and
when
to
not
invest
in
a

There's
only
three
things
that
I
really
care
about
One
do
I
like
the
founder
Because
if
I
don't
like
the
person
it
doesn't
matter
how
great
the
idea
is
life
is
too
short
to
deal
with
people
that
you
don't
like
Two
is
it
cash
flowing
I
personally
am
not
interested
in
betting
betting
on
a
thousand
companies
and
hoping
that
one
of
them
turns
into
Facebook
I
want
to
build
a
portfolio
of
assets
And
then
the
third
one
this
is
just
for
me
personally
is
is
it
evergreen
I
want
to
find
something
that's
going
to
be
around
forever
right
That's
why
healthcare
is
appealing
to
me
because
people
are
always
going
to
need
to
to
take
care
of
themselves
So
that's
it
Like
is
the
founder
cool
Does
it
cash
flow
And
is
it
evergreen
And
if
it
meets
those
criteria
criteria
I'll
take
it
seriously
All
right
let's
talk
about
what
a
day
in
the
life
looks
like
for
you
What
are
you
doing
these
days
All
my
days
look
exactly
the
same
I've
always
woken
up
very
early
So
I'm
usually
up
at
like
four
Chug
some
water
I
get
a
cup
of
coffee
I
sit
at
my
computer
I
record
my
assignments
for
the
day
By
that
time
my
kids
usually
wake
up
I
play
with
them
I
take
them
to
school
around
eight
And
then
my
wife
and
I
go
to
the
gym
gym
I'm
in
the
gym
every
day
from
8
30
to
10
Come
back
I
eat
And
then
I
work
The
afternoon
is
usually
deal
making
So
the
mornings
for
me
is
like
logistics
and
task
assignment
And
the
afternoon
is
deal
making
So
I
follow
up
on
my
leads
I
make
phone
calls
I
write
proposals
I
write
contracts
If
I
close
a
deal
I
do
all
the
onboarding
And
then
my
kids
get
home
at
like
five
We
hang
out
down
here
and
we
play
And
we
eat
dinner
And
I
watch
fucking
True
Detective
Like
I
do
the
same
thing
every
day
life
is
super
boring
Throughout
your
journey
building
businesses
you've
been
doing
this
for
a
while
now
What
have
been
some
of
the
struggles
Or
have
there
anything
that's
been
hard
in
your
journey
The
hardest
part
about
being
an
entrepreneur
is
that
I
worry
all
the
time
Most
of
my
time
is
just
spent
like
what's
about
to
go
wrong
What's
the
fire
that's
about
to
happen
Like
where
can
I
see
something
coming
so
that
I'm
not
blindsided
and
my
life
doesn't
fall
to
pieces
because
of
some
problem
that
I
couldn't
control
So
like
yeah
I
worry
a
lot
Every
morning
as
soon
as
I
wake
up
I'm
thinking
like
what's
wrong
What's
wrong
What's
wrong
It's
just
it's
really
difficult
to
make
that
go
away
Yeah
If
you
could
sit
on
the
shoulder
of
yourself
when
you're
just
getting
started
just
getting
started
with
that
blog
what
would
be
your
advice
to
young
Tim
When
I
was
getting
sober
basically
the
fear
is
always
how
am
I
ever
going
to
have
fun
for
the
rest
of
my
life
Or
like
what
am
I
going
to
do
when
I'm
at
a
wedding
And
then
somebody
told
me
all
you
ever
have
to
do
is
get
through
the
day
So
you
make
it
till
midnight
And
then
what
do
you
do
when
midnight
comes
You
just
make
it
to
midnight
again
And
like
it
never
ever
ends
The
solution
to
every
problem
in
my
life
is
always
like
I'm
just
going
to
get
through
the
day
I'm
just
going
to
make
it
till
midnight
So
I
really
really
truly
live
my
life
like
one
day
at
a
time
I
don't
think
too
far
into
the
future
I
have
no
idea
what's
coming
next
I
just
I
make
it
till
midnight
one
day
at
a
time
That's
great
advice
Thanks
Thank
you
Thanks
man
Thank
you
for
having
us
Of
course
Follow
this
advice
and
you
will
have
five
companies
making
5
million
a
year
Hey
guys
I
hope
you
enjoyed
the
breakdown
of
all
of
Tim's
businesses
It's
amazing
story
right
If
you
want
to
do
something
similar
but
you're
struggling
to
find
the
right
idea
or
the
time
to
build
it
well
I
have
something
that
might
help
you
I'm
hosting
a
free
workshop
this
week
to
show
you
exactly
how
I
validated
validated
my
own
million
dollar
business
And
then
exactly
how
I
built
that
business
on
just
two
hours
a
day
while
I
had
a
full
time
job
Because
I
know
from
personal
experience
there's
nothing
worse
than
wanting
to
start
a
business
business
but
not
feeling
100
confident
that
you're
on
the
right
track
