How I Turned $30K Into $12 Million In 3 Years: James Kernan with Harry Sardinas

James Kernan, who successfully grew a small company he acquired for $30,000 into a $12 million business within three years, shares his five steps to make the first million: creating a detailed plan, taking massive action through masterminds and communities, monitoring and adapting strategies, and maintaining focus amidst distractions. With over 30 years in the tech industry, he emphasizes the power of partnerships, like when he partnered with a larger contracting company to secure a major project for San Diego’s Petco Ballpark. He highlights that sales and marketing are crucial in tech, often more so than the product itself, and advises entrepreneurs to listen to customers and architect solutions that address real business problems. Kernan also created innovative revenue models, such as refurbishing used tech equipment to save clients millions, demonstrating business creativity beyond pure software development. According to him, business success, even in tech, revolves around people, strategic thinking, and execution rather than solely on technology itself..About The Guest
