If you haven’t heard of Design Pickle, you will wish you heard of them earlier.
This company, which offers flat rate graphic design services, has been able to grow from two employees to over 330 with $10 million dollars in recurring revenue...and Design Pickle has only been in business for less than 5 years.
Not bad for a business that is also completely automated and outsourced using the BPO model (business process outsourcing).
In this episode, we talk with the former design professional turned industry-disrupting star-up creator, podcaster, mentor, author, and business coach, Russ Perry about the ultimate level of remotrepreneurship building a business that works completely without you.
Russ shares how he stumbled on the idea of Design Pickle and how he leveraged his first win (completely outsourcing the graphic design process) into a powerful business model that runs completely on its own.
As Russ discussed, many entrepreneurs start at the ground level with their business. While there’s nothing wrong with that, there is a problem with staying at the ground level. An entrepreneur who stays on the ground level of their business (handling client work, marketing, and sales, etc.) does not take the time to grow their business. As a result, they feel stuck in a trap where they never get ahead.
Russ argues that the focus of working IN the business instead of ON the business is the reason why so many potential remotepreneurs lose hope. They get overwhelmed with all of the work and frustrated with their cash flow and prospects.
A better approach, Russ advocates, is building a system that runs without you. Instead of trying to work harder to keep finding clients (and keeping them happy), Russ says that remotepreneurs need to focus on the machine that finds clients and keeps them happy. That “machine” is your business solution that helps another business earn money.
By scaling and automating your service to businesses, you now have the systems that allow to keep making money...without doing any of the client work.
Listen if you (or someone you know) needs help with breaking out of the “entrepreneurs growth trap”
