That propelled him to start little business ventures such as mowing lawns and re-selling candy in school.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He shared that as a youngster, he was stubborn and believed that he too could be successful and achieve the freedom and independence that came with entrepreneurship.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He says that he was not encouraged to pursue entrepreneurship by his family but that didn&#8217;t stop him from going after his goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After having a regular 9-5 job for 13 years, learning valuable skills for business, and climbing the corporate ladder, Dave had an epiphany.

His story, revealed in his debut book, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laundromat Millionaire \u2013 The Grit to Elevate an Industry<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 is a life and a business journey that doesn\u2019t stop at rags to riches. It <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">begins<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a stubborn and obsessive mission to be a business owner with a tenacious and genuine purpose to help others to do the same. Dave teaches the principles of relentless studying of the greats to be great and knowing that even if an industry \u2013 like laundry \u2013 isn\u2019t sexy, you can make it so. His initial foray into business ownership was a side hustle alongside his corporate gig with Cincinnati Bell. He found his first business on Craigslist. Once he owned it, he overhauled it from struggling, losing money and outdated, to one that was a valuable proposition to serve as a vital community asset. His vision expands beyond owning multiple businesses under the auspices of Queen City Laundry. He shares his wisdom on his podcast and is a sought-after guest on podcasts and coach. Always the student, he expands his business model \u2013 and reach \u2013 to serve needs discovered.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a picked-on kid who was told he had limited options, to his readers, employees, fans, and his children, Dave says, \u201cIf I can, you can. It simply takes grit.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curious about Dave\u2019s work?
