Billy was a city kid who grew up in a poor domestic violent home. His mom worked two jobs as well as his stepdad. They had no plans or money to send billy off to college and had no choice but to join the military. Billy was a kid in love with technology who build his first computer at 13 after his stepdad gave up on building his. He took over his stepdad unfinished computer and finish building it and in result got his ass whooped because of it.  He used to sell modded Xbox controllers in high school and fix his friend’s parent’s computers. He did not know how much his skillset was actually worth nor did he know who needed his services. He did not have any knowledge of running a business neither did his parents. When he graduated high school his stepfather took him for a ride and congratulated him for graduating high school but told him that he had to move out or he will divorce Billy’s mother. He had no choice but to join the Air Force right after!. 

Billy really wanted to own a tech business for the love he had for technology so he wouldn’t have to work for anyone and be in control of my life. In the military, he took classes for computer science and had a side business of fixing phones and computers but didn’t know how to acquire more customers. He did not know how to run or own a business, He just knew he was destined to own a tech business.

A commissioned officer inspired Billy on base when he told Billy he was running a business outside the base even though the officer was active duty at the time. Billy really wanted to build a successful business so that his kids wouldn’t have to go through the struggles He went through growing up. He believes he will lead the tech industry and build a tech legacy that he can pass down for many generations.

The thing is Billy had to stop his side business because he kept deploying over seas on multiple occasions and that’s when his motivation went away but a new desire emerged, Time Freedom! Yet he had no time freedom which caused his marriage at the time to begin failing. 

To make things worse, he felt terrible because he felt like his life was on pause. He had no drive, no motivation not even for the military any more… He felt even worse about the situation because his wife found a new love while he was away and started cheating on him while he was deployed… He felt like a failure as a person and a husband. Billy felt trapped like he was not in control of his own life.

The problem got even worsed! He was jobless! He left the military and had no clue where to go.. Which meant Suddenly the love he had for success and business was gone. He had no confidence in himself. Which got him to become a raging alcoholic. He started wasting money every weekend drinking and clubbing, trying to find happiness only to figure out it was only temporary.

Then, as if by chance, something amazing happened…

Billy was living in his car jumping from house to house all while working a 9 to 5 job only getting paid 9 dollars an hour. While at the job he met a Manager for a cell phone retail company. He sold him a whole outfit for his wife and he saw the hunger and skill in Billy and hired Billy on the spot. Billy felt like got his mojo back! He got back into the tech industry because he would fix and repair phones for any customer that walked into his store that either couldn’t afford new phones or wasn’t available for upgrades. He built a relationship with all his customers and that’s what set him apart from the rest. 

He was learning more about sales and business than ever before. He was attending marketing and sales events to better his skill set. He even watched marketing and sales videos on social media during work and came across a Facebook ad and wanted to learn how to do that. So he learned mostly everything there is to know about being a digital marketer. That’s when he found his new LOVE!!

Billy was natural at being a salesman & digital marketer. He became a manager within 6 months of being with the company. He was closing sales left and right at work and came to the point where He was coaching business owners on how to get more sales by providing marketing strategies for their business FREE.

It was now crystal clear to Billy what every business owner wanted. 

SALES & TIME FREEDOM! 

But Billy felt like he was missing something…

HIS OWN BUSINESS.

So that’s when Billy’s programming side kicked in and learned about automation. Billy knew that  Automation Marketing was the future and what his business needed in order to scale his business. From A.I chatbot to email automation he learned the ins and outs of Automation Marketing.

Billy learned for himself that most successful business owners work all the time and don’t spend enough time with family or themselves. Billy believes you need to Leverage people in order to make time for themselves and their families. 

That’s when Billy developed an Automation Marketing formula that got him leads while he got to spend time with his loved ones. He started learning ways to capture, track and follow up with leads all automated. He then decided to share his formula with business owners who needs to automate the tedious tasks that took to much time away.

Suddenly, Billy was helping business owners Automate their marketing and other tasks they hated doing. As a result, Billy was making good money.

Billy’s plan was to create a blueprint formula that he can use for his new clients moving forward.

So Billy started going to numerous events and put out an ad that got  him leads and follow up showing them that his automated formula works.

 But he didn’t stop there.

He then closed more deals and invested back the money he made into himself to learn more and grow.

After that, He started learning SEO to add to his  marketing formula

But there was still a problem…

As Billy’s business grew, He was struggling to keep up. He was a one-man show and was doing everything, including customer service, marketing, automation, content creation, billing, product creation. Basically, Billy got to the point where he had more money than time and needed some help because he was spending all of his time working and not enough time with family and his newborn son. His time at work was contradicting his brand which was “Time Freedom”!

He ended up getting so frustrated that he decided to start looking for a team to build. He hired two sales reps and along the way connected with a Brand Strategist name Nick who had his own branding business and needed a marketing strategist. The time couldn’t be any more perfect because Billy was in need of a brand strategist & graphic design and Nick was the guy. It made sense for both of them to merge their company.

They spoke about creating a marketing and branding full-service package that would transform businesses that needs transforming. They were both excited about their new path and future!

That’s when  CreativeWolf was born…
