A 27 Year Old’s Take On Taking Two Companies From 0 To 100
The first key point is the need for an enterprise. To meet and interact with people with similar ideas. You can not do it alone. The implementation of an idea, the process of building something into fruition requires consultation with people who know what they’re doing and getting tips on how to run a successful business.
It wasn’t an easy road, by any means. Building a successful full-service digital advertising firm from scratch needed a lot of financial investment, time and partnerships. Convincing household brands like Arsenal credit union, Metro powered by T-mobile and other top brands required establishing a system of trust and professionalism. This was by no means an easy feat.
Garretts drive is built on the need to succeed, to be at the front end of enterprises that not only make money but also give back to society by helping to uplift small and medium enterprises in St. Louis. From being 22 and broke, Garrett Atkins can now boast of industry partnerships with several startups, helping them gain their footing and expand into reliable enterprises.
The emphasis here is commitment, persistence, patience, and consistency. It takes a lot to build an enterprise, and without thick skin, most people typically don’t get very far. Garrett insists that there is no quick fix, you have to work your fingers to the bone, and have your eyes on the prize. The most important thing here is to know what you’re working towards and to get rid of anything that may divert your attention from this prize.
