In one really exceptional way.

Do that and everything else gets easier.

If you're a founder building something from absolutely nothing, that's a huge win. It takes courage to bet on yourself and go for it.

Most people never get started at all.

Most always focus on what could go wrong.

Most wish they could take a swing like you.

Give yourself more credit. You're doing great.

Remember that and keep going.

Startups are really hard.

That’s why most people never build one.

Luckily you don't have to be like most people.

Keep going.

Sometimes bad stuff is going to happen as a founder.

You’ll wake up to bad news.

You’ll have a month that breaks you a little.

That’s part of the game.

Get through it and you come out stronger.

Better and more dangerous.

Keep going.

It’s easy for founders to forget how lucky we are.

We get to build what we care about.

Solve problems that matter.

Make customers happy.

Work with people we enjoy being around.

We really do have it made.

You don't need a “disruptive” idea to launch a startup.

You don't need to reinvent a market.

You don't need to create a new category.

You don't need to build a billion dollar valuation to be successful.

You 100% do need the courage to just get started though.

So please go for it.

CEO at LaunchBoom | We turn your product idea into a real business

In 2013, I helped launch EcoQube and raised $79,026 on Kickstarter.

In 2014, 1Hour Break saw what I did with EcoQube and we raised $105,343 on Indiegogo.

In 2015, EcoQube C came out with their new and improved version and we helped raise $375,058 on Kickstarter.

Up until this point, my agency Label Creative lacked focus. We were trying to help ALL types of businesses grow with very mixed results.

But with the launch of EcoQube C, it was clear to me that we had found a new, more effective way for product creators to launch their ecommerce brand...

And we were all in.

Within a month, we rebranded our company to LaunchBoom and set out on the mission to help product creators build profitable, 7-figure ecommerce companies.

I'm proud of what we've built...

... Working with thousands of product creators from 40+ countries.
... Driving over $100M in revenue for clients.
... Becoming a Certified Kickstarter & Indiegogo Expert.
... Building a fully remote team across the world.
... Writing the best selling book in crowdfunding (Seriously! Search "crowdfunding" on Amazon!).

But what I'm most proud of is literally watching our clients lives change as we bring their ideas to life and scale their brands.

If you're a product creator and want to bring your idea to life, I'd love to hear from you.

2026 will bring two firsts for me.

Going to SXSW and speaking at SXSW.

Alex Levine, the CEO at Xebec, and I will be breaking down how established brands can use crowdfunding to grow their business.

Hit me up if you're going to be there!

CEO at LaunchBoom | Turn your product idea into a real business

10 years ago, Bubba took a chance on a bunch of 20 something year olds to help him launch his first product.

His product was the Give'r 4-Season Gloves...

And those 20 something year olds were my team and I starting up LaunchBoom.

That first Kickstarter did $224,370.

But it was more than a successful product launch... it Kickstarted both Give'r's and LaunchBoom's brands.

Since then, we've helped Bubba launch 3 more products:

1. Ol' Faithful Hoodie, raising $157,416
2. Frontier Mittens, raising $986,672
3. Expedition Split Mittens, raising $570,616

With that last one just finishing up a few weeks ago. 

Looking back at the last 10 years, I'm super grateful to Bubba and the Give'r crew. Without you guys taking a chance on us all those years ago, I don't think we'd be where we are today.

Thank you and congrats on another successful launch.
