A year ago he woke up, had an idea, and built an entire business in a weekend with zero coding experience and $400. By Tuesday he had his first customer — who paid him $15,000. A year later he's at $2.5 million in revenue, over 50% profit, and on pace for $7 million this year with just a handful of employees. Jon breaks down exactly how he found his first customers, how he prices his services, and the simple 3-part framework he uses to close deals. No hype, no fluff. If you've ever thought about starting something but felt like you didn't have the right skills or money, this one's for you.
