I am a High School Football Coach and Teacher in Texas. I had no previous vending experience prior to joining the Vendingpreneurs. As a matter of fact, I had no formal training in business or sales at all. Joining Vendingpreneurs gave me access to nationwide network of Vendors who are learning right there along with me. The ability to bounce ideas off of each other, celebrate wins, and share mistakes made has helped me scale my business rather quickly. I placed my first market 4 months after joining, and am now 7 months in with 5 markets now live and 2 more being delivered soon!

Upon first joining with Mike and his team, I had no real business acumen, no experience in the vending space and so for us, my wife and I, it was a huge risk but one with reward and opportunity. Vendingpreneurs has been instrumental in providing a community to learn, progress and transition into a small business. There have been bumps along the way, hurdles to overcome and many many learnings, all of which may have been possible on our own, but with the support of the group, everyone sharing new experiences, take-aways and patterns within this space, has expedited the process. The best thing about the group is the openness, candidness of failures and successes and the opportunities made available through collaboration with one another.

I had no previous vending experience. Vendingpreneurs has taken me from zero knowledge about the business to being able to navigate the securing of locations, selecting machines, and deciding on inventory. They have offered excellent assistance throughout the process from start-up to a fully functional vending business. The best thing about Vendingpreneurs is the community and resources available, the relationships built with others who have come alongside me as I continue to build my venture.

What an experience! We joined Vendingpreneurs on a whim with zero vending knowledge hoping the risk was minimal but the upside would be steep. And, we were right! We now have our four children (ages 8-14) involved, setting an example for hard yet fruitful work, and creating a future that will directly impact them. They get to test snacks, count money, pick products for restocking, clean machines, talk to customers, shop for products, and even be assigned to a certain location as the "lead vending manager". We have been able to go from zero vending machines to 30+ in about a year with the guidance and support from the Vendingpreneurs community. Of course, there have been challenges and lessons learned, but those are great learning tools for our children. On top of that, it's been fun and a great conversation starter when neighbors spot a vending machine in our garage. ;) We have learned to adapt to situations, be flexible, and ultimately dive into the entrepreneurial lifestyle. Best decision, highly recommend!

Before I joined the Vendingpreneurs group, I had no experience with vending machines or modern amenities. In the past, I've been intrigued about running my own vending machine business, and after following Mike on social media for several months, I thought that I should give it a try. The Vendingpreneurs community has been very helpful because they provide insight on a lot of things that occur when you place a machine or land a micromarket. The community has been a wealth of knowledge for all things that I've encountered and things that I have not yet encountered. Mike's video's are great as well and I try to watch them as much as I can. The best thing about Vendingpreneurs is that it's a group of people that are fully aware that they are not experts, but they are willing to dive in and make mistakes and learn. Then they are willing to share about their experiences and help others not make the same mistakes.

I’ve only been a part of the community for less than three months and have already gained much more than I expected! Not only does Mike and his team do an incredible job of laying out everything you need to have a successful vending/market business, the Skool community aspect has been really helpful in answering questions and leaning on each other for support as we have our own trial and errors. Side note: For almost 7 years I’ve had an article about a successful entrepreneur (making $10,000 a month in vending machines) bookmarked on my phone, always wishing I knew how to do it. So glad to have found Mike & this community to finally learn it & would recommend this to all of my friends!
