“From college textbook sales to a multi-million dollar exit, the journey of an entrepreneur is never a straight line." - Dive into the story of Nathan Hirsch, a serial entrepreneur who built a scalable business model that led to a successful exit.

In this episode of the Post-Purchase Pro Podcast, we had the pleasure of welcoming Nathan Hirsch, a seasoned entrepreneur with a wealth of experience in e-commerce and beyond. Nathan shared his journey from being one of the first 1,000 Amazon sellers to building and selling a $12 million business, FreeUp, and his subsequent ventures.

After selling FreeUp, Nathan and his business partner, Connor Gillivan, took a strategic approach to their new ventures. They focused on creating B2B businesses that address core needs for any company, such as bookkeeping, SEO, and hiring processes. Nathan highlighted the importance of understanding your numbers, having a solid monthly bookkeeping process, and building a strong initial team to set your business up for long-term success and potential sale.

Main Talking Points:

• Nathan's early days as an Amazon seller and the transition to dropshipping baby products.
• The inception and growth of FreeUp, and the strategic decision to sell the business.
• The importance of understanding your financials and having a solid bookkeeping process.
• Building a strong initial team and setting up your business for scalability and a potential sale.
• The benefits of hiring virtual assistants, particularly from the Philippines, and the C.A.R.E. and S.I.C.C. hiring frameworks.
• Utilizing personal branding and organic marketing to drive business growth.
• Nathan's personal commitment to giving back through fostering teens.

Today's guest is a guy that has impressed me since the moment he popped on my radar.  He sent me a message on Facebook to network, showed up to give me as much value as he could, and after that, I realized he's doing this everywhere... ALL THE TIME.  The reason why?  He has really figured EXACTLY how to build and train teams of outsourced workers that do EVERYTHING for him except for the critical things he likes to do.  It's mindblowing.

"Just get a VA."

"My VA will do it."

"Hire a VA right away."

If you don't know, VA = Virtual assistant, (typically from a place like the Philippians, or India, etc.) and it is quite the buzzword around the online marketing space.

In today's episode, I sit down with VA training and hiring expert Nathan Hirsch.

Nathan has built 2 multi-million dollar businesses with VAs, and he is currently building a 3rd.

We discuss why VAs are so effective, how to hire them, what to look for in them, and how to make sure they stick around.

We also address some of the major problems with them, and how he has gone about addressing it.

This is a truly fascinating episode!
