29 | Charles Bohl | How I Managed the Impossible Feat of Clocking $200K+ in Revenues as a YEAA Intern
Description
In today’s show, Steve interviews UMass Masters student and all-times YEAA sales record-holder, Charles Bohl. While an average intern at Young Entrepreneurs manages to notch up sales of $75,000, Charles managed to touch $200K in revenues! ($201,395 to be exact).
So, how did Charles manage this impossible feat? In today’s show, listeners will learn how a mix of hardcore commitment, altruistic intent, and a strong support system made this possible.
It is difficult to believe that, growing up Charles was extremely introverted. Raised in a small town with a population of 700, Charles just had one friend. So, it was hardly surprising that he found the going extremely difficult when he first started college at UMass, Amherst.
But he soon realized the importance of reaching out to people – no matter how discomforting it was for him.
This evolution in his personality was further accelerated once he joined Young Entrepreneurs in the summer of 2019.
So, when he first joined Young Entrepreneurs, did he have any audacious goals in mind? Had he chalked out any strategy before starting out?
Charles reveals that he had just ONE goal in mind – to keep his clients and painters super happy.
And, this altruistic intent was perhaps the biggest reason for his stupendous success.
Additionally, Charles shares how he massively under-estimated the power of surrounding himself with great people. Having Steve and the other YEAA seniors at his disposal certainly helped Charles keep his eyes on the ball.
Other topics discussed on today’s show include the value of a well-rounded education and why you need to get comfortable with the idea of “being uncomfortable”.
