Listen Later

In today’s show, we interview 22-year-old Jack Kratcha who reveals how he has managed to earn $220K in his three years at College Works.

Jack shares his distilled wisdom on excellence, taking the path less trodden, and the perks of being your own boss.

Back in high school, Jack was great at sports and academics. But, college at Madison proved to be a different ball game, as being in the midst of all 4.0 GPA students overwhelmed him. Being introverted in nature did not help at all, and Jack withdrew into a shell.

This is when he discovered CollegeWorks. 

Initially, his peers ridiculed him for his unconventional choice. But this did not shake Jack's conviction. And he chucked his $9/hour job to work as a student painter and manager. 

Today, Jack’s persistence has paid off big time.

While his classmates are finding the going difficult in the wake of covid, Jack has earned $220K over the past three years. 

Learn how not making the “normal choices” paid off big time for Jack. Enjoy!
