Michael Sherman, CEO of LetterDashWhen I ask Michael to define what he does, he says that he's not sure what to call his "profession."Before becoming what he is today, he gave the 9-5 a shot - about 10 times.His résumé of jobs is varied. In no particular order, he has done door-to-door sales selling vacuums, worked at Home Depot and McDonalds, became a licensed investment banker, tried his hand at computer tech, and even became a licensed bartender.His education is no different. Michael transferred in and out of a total of five different universities before finally graduating, and that was all after dropping out of high school.Nothing gave him the excitement or passion he craved. So he took a different path - entrepreneurship - and never looked back.Each business Michael built achieved a healthy profit - and he did that with nothing more than his brain, a laptop, and a couple of Google Ads coupons.His latest company, LetterDash, an on-demand legal letter sending service, just turned one year old. Michael shared some of the financial figures from the year so far -July 7, 2018 - spent $18; generated a single lead; generated $4,000 during month 1.August - about $11,000.January - about $56,000.May 2019 - about $79,000.June 2019 - about $105,000.July 2019 - Over $100,000 (final numbers aren't in yet).But Michael has gained far more than just money from LetterDash. The experience has been full of learning, and below he shares the lessons you can learn from his journey.
