This week on the podcast, I am joined by Joe Rare as we talk about our personal experiences and insights on entrepreneurship while highlighting the role of upbringing, mentorship, and resilience in shaping our aspirations and business strategies. Joe shares his experiences with business setbacks and successes, and strategies for scaling businesses by leveraging virtual assistants. He also talks about Level Nine Virtual, a platform that provides project-based services with specialists in various fields. Throughout the conversation, Joe and I make sure to emphasize the importance of learning from failures, adapting to new strategies, and managing virtual teams effectively. ABOUT OUR GUEST Joe Rare is an “underground” serial entrepreneur, investor, outsourcing expert, father and husband. He currently owns four digital companies, five wedding venues, and real estate investment properties. Joe's journey began with a door-to-door product sales business, which grew from a team of two to 40 employees in under two years. He later sold the company after 27 months. His passion for sales never dimmed, but he discovered what his life’s work would be - building digital businesses. The road was definitely made of dirt with a lot of potholes. There were failed businesses in the early days, but he took the failures and learned to create wins. He has since built multiple 7+ figure companies and built a strong and growing real estate portfolio. Joe focuses on helping small- to medium-sized businesses around the world, while working from the comfort of his home in Montana and enjoying Big Sky Country with his family. He’s an investor and looks to find projects that he can use his marketing leverage to impact growth and profitability. All of his companies are fully being run by his virtual assistants.
