There’s a certain mentality that entrepreneurs possess. They are relentless in working towards what they believe they deserve, and are ready to take on any challenges life throws their way. Jared Sanborn exemplifies this to a tee, as he shares his thoughts and journey with us of how he found his calling in life and worked towards building multiple businesses across multiple sectors, raising over 7 figures for these businesses over the course of a few years.
“I didn’t start entrepreneurship… I was born an entrepreneur, however, I didn’t always embrace it.” says Jared Sanborn. While he was already starting to carve his way towards entrepreneurship as a child though selling small goods and merchandise to his classmates, he didn’t accept the role at first, and chalked it off as being an atypical thinker. Despite getting into a bit of trouble in school, Sanborn’s brilliant mind allowed him to graduate High School as a member of the honor society. He would go on to spend the next portion of his life deep in study, reading over 400 books on the subjects of entrepreneurship, leadership, sales, psychology, marketing, and management, further developing his skills to become an entrepreneur incidentally.
“The way my mind worked seemed to not fit into the “norm” and when I was very young this didn’t always bode well for friendships and relationships. Once I realized that fitting in is overrated anyway, everything changed.” – Jared Sanborn
Simultaneously, Sanborn found himself engrossed in the music industry, as he began consistently writing songs throughout this period and developing plans towards building out his own music business empire. Starting out with a recording studio, Sanborn would eventually branch out into music event management, where he would soon face one of his first obstacles.
A devastating $40,000 financial loss on an event cancelation that he funded, organized, and managed, crippled Sanborn financially. Not a week after said unprecedented event he would find his recording studio underwater as a flash flood completely destroyed all the equipment overnight.
With his credit cards maxed out, and financially deep underwater, Jared Sanborn was starting to understand the true meaning of sink or swim, and quickly pivoted to online digital marketing, as it was a skill he developed over the course of running his music business. “Discovering digital marketing and true entrepreneurship changed my life.” says Sanborn. With the founding of Eyefuel PR, Sanborn’s effort would quickly lead to avenues of opportunity opening up for him and his pathway to entrepreneurship would quickly become a highway to success.
At this point, Sanborn’s resume and experiences run deep, as he developed his skills and knowledge in promotion, marketing, public relations, SEO, SEM, SMO, SMM, he was ultimately always working and learning to better himself as a person. What keeps Sanborn moving each day is the motivation and drive to leave the world a better place than he found it, for not only aspiring young people who are constantly doubted, but also for his own family and daughter.
Sanborn strongly believes that entrepreneurship is the true path to freedom. His goals in creating a world where people around him can succeed, has created a feedback loop of success, as Sanborn brings fresh perspectives to the table while maintaining the role of a critical listener. “Listen twice as much as you speak to those 2 times up over your peak. Learn twice as much as you teach from those 2 times up out of your reach.” implores Sanborn. His lessons and mentality towards growth and entrepreneurship resonate with his peers, as Sanborn is focusing on developing a new company in Pure Technology, we’re certain to see his impression on the world become more clear each day.
