If I wanted to quit my job & replace my salary by Summer, here's exactly what I'd do:
1. Start an LLC before the week is over. Not next month. Not after you "research more." This week.
2. Make a list of 20 local businesses.
Write down every jewelry store, car dealership, smoke shop, and tourist-heavy business you can think of within 10 miles of where you live. High-ticket transactions mean bigger fees per payment.
3. Walk in and keep the pitch dead simple.
Walk in and say: "I help businesses accept digital payments at zero cost. The customer pays the fee, and you get paid in dollars.” No technical jargon. No PowerPoint. Most owners say yes just to see how it works.
