Rohan Gilkes: How to Build a 7 Figure Business by Going Local

Hello and welcome to the Copyblogger podcast. My name is Tim Stoddart. Thank you so much for joining me. Too often, young entrepreneurs jump headfirst into industries and markets that have cut throat competition. How many of you are dreaming of starting the next TikTok or the next Facebook? More often then not, the million dollar business idea is sitting right outside your front door, waiting to be discovered. Local service businesses are the lifeblood of our economy, they are also the easiest and most opportunistic entry points for aspiring entrepreneurs. In this episode, I sit down with successful entrepreneur, Rohan Gilkes, and we go in depth on the tactics and strategies you need to start building your local business right now. Rohan got his start by building a multi million dollar cleaning business. Now, he helps other entrepreneurs build local service business by teaching them the model he has used over and over again. In addition, Rohan has stepped out of the local market to create a SaaS company, of which he exited with partners. In this conversation, Rohan and I talk about where the opportunities are in the local markets, why this is the best place to start, and how these small industries have such tremendous upside. Rohan was a great guest, and I loved our conversation. You will learn so much from this interview. Please help me welcome my new friend, Rohan Gilkes.
