How Identity theft can turn into a $7 Million Business with Matt Noon

For a small business podcast, it is a good thing that we have the explicit rating, because I will warn you…there is a TON of great stuff in this episode. You are going to learn what it really takes to kill it, and make a fantastic business. Matt is not your ordinary small business owner. He started his business to pay for school by stealing his brother’s identity and getting a credit card, he didn’t know he actually had to bill clients to get paid, almost had a nervous breakdown because he was too successful, sold the business, and started a new one.

Lawn care. He has a $7 Million dollar lawn care business. Holy Crap!

We talk a lot about focus on our show, and after building a successful lawn care and landscaping business with the help of his brother, Matt thought that he needed to niche down and focus on a small percentage of their business: fertilization. Now, it is mainly what they do. At Noon Turf Care they fertilize and do pest control.

Have just finished listening to this episode and wow, can Matt talk. I will admit it did take more than one it thing to get through the whole show, but was so worth it.

And then at the end I hear that it actually when for 2 hours but you had to cut it short. Nick you have to share the whole interview in the future as I would definitely give up 2 hours of my time to listen to the whole thing.

It was great listening, and yes he did mention a lot of thing that you guys have said before, but it was good hearing it from someone else and gave reassurance that what we have already heard in the past was all correct and if you do follow the simple principles then you will succeed.

Boys thank you again for another brilliant episode, looking forward to needs weeks what’s up episode.

Ben, I guess I have to go into this daily to find comments. Ugh. I wonder if there is a setting I have messed up.

Been thinking about how to offer unedited versions to our listeners. Thanks for the feedback on that. LOTS of our shows have to get edited down as they go too long. Matt and Johnny are good friends, so we were ALL OVER THE PLACE, but super funny.

Thanks again for the comments, and I will try to do better at checking for posts. I hate when I comment on something and I get ignored. Please know I feel really bad!!
