How James Laidlaw Built InHomeGolf into a Multi Million Dollar Business

from The Sweaty Startup

This is the full conversation I had with James Laidlaw about how he walked away from a high-paying commission job and built InHome Golf from scratch. We broke down how he scaled a golf simulator business during COVID, reinvested everything back into growth, and navigated the chaos that comes with explosive customer demand. Here's a photo of my simulator setup that James's company installed for me. https://x.com/sweatystartup/status/2011208892353851779 & Here's 22 other things that have that materially improved my quality of life: https://x.com/sweatystartup/status/2012556557674791016?s=20 If you want to reach out to James, email him at [email protected] If you've ever thought about leaving your job or building a business of your own, this episode shows you what it actually looks like behind the scenes.
