59 | Kevin Hiselman | How I Managed a $2 Million Business in My Sophomore Year


Listen Later

Is it even possible for a sophomore to manage a $2 million business?

On today’s show, we interview Kevin Hiselman who shares with us his distilled wisdom on perseverance, and overcoming your fears. You will learn how Kevin managed a $2 million painting business while he was a sophomore at UMass, Amherst.

Kevin was first introduced to YEAA when he was taking classes at UMass. And while he has eager to sign up immediately, he had to fight off the initial scepticism from his friends and family.

One of the biggest things that attracted Kevin to the internship was the opportunity to get mentored by folks who were just slightly older than him.

In his first year with YEAA, Kevin ran a $110,000 business and earned $20,000 in profits. As a district manager in his second year, he dramatically scaled up his business to $2 million in revenues and $110,000 in profits.

Topics discussed on today’s show include overcoming your fear of running a business, cultivating leadership skills, and learning responsibility and accountability.

You do not want to miss this one.

Enjoy!
