Listen Later

“ I couldn't have moved to the next stage if I didn't learn what I learned there. Although the time there was difficult, it was such a key time period to launch me into the next phase of failing an insurance agency, which also taught me what I needed to learn in order to do what I'm doing now.” -Cameron Davis In part one of this two-part series, Cameron Davis, owner of Imago Dei Bookkeeping & Consulting, shares how he turned a failed insurance venture into a purpose-driven bookkeeping business built on faith, family, and purpose. In this interview, you’ll learn:

  • How cold calling helped him land clients fast
  • Why he avoids offering services that don’t align with his vision
  • How faith & family guide his business choices
