Realizing this and making a pivot within a few months has set him on a path of success and business development. Systemizing a business during the Covid-19 pandemic and establishing a strong management team has set his businesses on a course of success with minimal daily tasks that he needs to attend to. Now, he has every opportunity to share that freedom and success in growing and automating a recurring business model with others while his own businesses continue to prosper.
