 Hey coach, what's up? My name is Ben neighbors. I'm the founder here at build my sports biz comm and Before you watch any other videos here on our YouTube channel. I just want to tell you my story tell you why I'm here and What build my sports biz comm is all about okay, so back in? 2009 I had just graduated college in at that point I really had no idea what I wanted to do With my life. I knew one thing for sure I did not want to get a nine-to-five job and I actually ended up doing that. I got an internship Because I just wasn't really clear on what I wanted to do And I was afraid to start my own business at that time because I lacked a lot of self-confidence But going to that internship for a few months. It really made me realize Like how did I want to spend the rest of my life? Do I want to go to work every day and build somebody else's? Build somebody else's dream, or do I want to really go after something that I love to do and at that time? I loved to coach kids with soccer and I didn't really know how to build a business I didn't know how to do anything other than just train kids because I trained kids in the past and I started to realize, you know, if if There is a way for me to do that as a part-time thing I knew that ultimately I could do that full-time and I started really small I used to drive to literally I drive to people's houses. I would train their kids in their backyard for soccer training and At that time I started to realize that man, I have some momentum Like how can I try to take this to the next level because I wanted to do that as a full-time thing and After years of trial and error, and I mean years I started in 2009, 2010 ish I didn't really get that much momentum with what I was doing until around late 2011 And still at that point. I didn't have a clue about what I was doing with my business I never had any business background. I never owned a business before I didn't go to school for business I didn't have a ton of mentors when I started and I was basically just Chasing something that I was passionate about but in order to be successful With starting your own sports business You need to have a good foundation and you need to know what you're doing You need to have a clear plan and those are things I didn't personally have and I started and Because I was super persistent and I didn't give up Like I made things work and it took a lot longer than it should have which is why I'm here now With this YouTube channel of build my sports biz calm because I want to help you shortcut all the problems that I went through and After we built a successful business like around 2014 a lot of soccer coaches in my area in Texas and all around the US started to reach out to me to figure out How did I build what I was doing? You know, what were the systems? We were using how are we marketing the players? How are we able to go from zero to five thousand kids that have come through our program and all these soccer coaches started reach out to me and I started to help coaches coaches would fly down to San Antonio We built a mastermind program with coaches now where there's we have around 15 coaches in the US Who I talked to on a daily basis And after we started to see some success with that There was a bunch of coaches from other sports like basketball football baseball tennis golf Every sport you could think of started watching our videos on our other YouTube channel called soccer entrepreneur and They were asking me questions about how could they grow their own business? So again, I did the same thing Started helping coaches personally and I realized in order for me to help You and more coaches that are outside of soccer I need to create a completely separate brand a completely separate YouTube channel And that's what this is and really my goal is to help you start Build and scale Your sports business even if you're starting from ground zero the same way I did right But really my goal is to fast-track your success rather than going through trial and error This YouTube channel is going to serve as a purpose to really help you out, right?
