I started my cell phone repair business at 14 years old. I had customers coming to my front door before I could even drive! By the time I was 16, I had grown my company to break well over 6 figures and today my business is worth an astounding half a million. It was no easy task to grow a business from a small desk in my bedroom to a physical retail location in 4 years.
In today’s video, I dive into my background, how I first got started, and where the company is today.
Keep Grinding!

I decided to take my course down. Previous students still will have temporary access, but going forward I will only be offering consulting services for those interested. Being able to teach others how to build successful repair businesses has been fun, but I decided to move away from selling any courses.

This gave me more motivation to go harder with my repairs. Just opened a shop in a office location & it’s the first in my city so I’m hoping for success

I just started doing phone repair back in March and already know how to fix iPhone models, and now starting to fix Samsung models. I want to open up my own store soon with how fast my business has grown. Watching this honestly gave me more inspiration

@HappySIMCard 4 года назад

I am 15 years old, my story is literally the same as yours. I fixed my first phone when I was 10 and this last year I realized how profitable it was. Now I am one of the biggest ranked in the city. I buy all my parts out of pocket and its easy money.

@Sounditoutahhwet 3 года назад

No offense, but I just had a massive epiphany about all the youtubers selling courses. All the youtubers that are selling courses on how to make money are actually the people that are not making money off of what they are teaching, but actually making money off of selling their courses. Its actually sad. Preying on the weak and vulnerable. The people who are just miserable trying to escape their 9-5 job, but actually just taking more of their money and furthering them from their goals.

@JonathanStrange 3 года назад

Yes this is an unfortunate reality. This was one of the reasons why I decided to take my course down.

@JonathanStrange 3 года назад

Everyone is trying to take, few are trying to give.

@kelvinfernandez4058 2 года назад

it's not just that i hate this clickbait titles of "my phone repair business" where they spend 10 minutes talking about nothing only to pitch their course at the end to learn how to start a repair business

@cmtechservice Год назад

Awesome thanks for sharing your journey. Question: I am curious to know, how did you obtain the parts for a repair job in the begining if you had no money?

Do you do microsoldering

@mauselioe6838 3 года назад

Wow nice, I work in repair shop and didn’t know my boss can make that much

@JonathanStrange 3 года назад

For every dollar that a small business makes the business owner only gets a small percent of that often between 10-20% of the total revenue. Don't think that just because my business did $500k in one year, that I personally made 500K that year.

@tmjc4cpm 4 года назад

How did u get into microsoldering and how did you get the training on it

@JonathanStrange 3 года назад

I trained under an industry legend in the cell phone repair community after a few years of just doing modular repairs. Truth be told the best way to start is just by practicing yourself.
