509: How to Build, Grow, Scale, and SELL Your Online Business

If you want to make money online in 2024, good news: it’s easier than ever! Just ask today’s guest, who had to bootstrap his online business before you could launch a business with little to no startup costs. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and need a little inspiration to get your next business idea rolling, this episode is for you!
Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Today, we’re joined by serial entrepreneur Omar Zenhom from The $100 MBA Show. For many years, Omar worked as a full-time educator while nurturing his fledgling businesseson the side. Naturally, many of them didn’t work out. But rather than letting these failures deter him from entrepreneurship, Omar applied each new lesson to his next business venture. Eventually, he struck gold with WebinarNinja, a software company he scaled to 30,000 users before selling his business and enjoying the spoils.
Want to achieve financial freedom without being reliant on your W2 job? Stick around to learn the ins and outs of building a business from the ground up—saving money to get started, leveraging your network to scale the business, and ultimately, selling your company for a huge profit!

In This Episode We Cover
How Omar built, scaled, and SOLD a multimillion-dollar SaaS (software as a service) company
How to start your own online business from square one
Why teaching is the ultimate skill you NEED to develop for business
The pros and cons of bootstrapping versus raising capital
Leveraging your network to help grow and scale your company
Preparing to sell your business (and how to exit successfully!)
And So Much More!
