Grow A Small Business Podcast 13+ years of experience in different business industries, now running a whole new purchasing company, growing from $80k to multi-million in revenue with over 42 FTEs. (Gil Bar-Lev)
In this episode, I interview Gil Bar-Lev the Founder and CEO of HomeRoots, based in New Jersey, United States. Gil has set up his own business to help entrepreneurs make sure to sell their products to the consumer.
From working as a software engineer, Gil has decided to run a whole new business to open a new window for improvements and a new door of opportunities in a different industry. HomeRoots was established in 2018 and has been running for over 4 years. Growing from $80,000 in 2018 to multi-million in the present revenues.
Gil has mentioned that growing a small business takes patience and perseverance to become great. So he says, "It's patience and it's mainly the mindset that you have to continue, not let the knows that you're going to receive from whoever you're trying to reach out to break you."
