Read more, weigh less, excerise more, spend less. The turning of the calendar from December 31 to January 1 signals a fantastic opportunity to refocus our intentions and set ourselves on a new path for the new year.
For the entrepreneurial-minded, a New Years Resolution might sound something like, “This year, I’m going to grow my book of business” or “I’m going to crush my sales.” All the best intentions are there. But what’s so often missing is the know-how.
That’s why entrepreneurs must resolve to stream Undercover Billionaire this new year.
Undercover Billionaire Season 1
The Discovery Channel reality show followed mortgage industry all-star Glenn Stearns in a riches to rags (and hopefully back to riches) story. Literally lifted from his yacht, Season 1 of the series dropped Stearns using an alias in the middle of Erie, PA.
The challenge: build a $1 million business in just 90 days.
The catch: Stearns had to do it with just $100 start-up cash, a truck, and a cellphone.
Throughout the season, you’ll find yourself rooting for likeable Stearns who ends up sleeping in his truck, eating ramen, and struggling to make that first big break that will change his fate. As his 90 days quickly speed by, Stearns shares valuable lessons that can be applied for any business.
A keen understanding of people, an eye for opportunity, and a general likeability are inate gifts for Glenn Stearns. His lessons from the warehouse offer solid advice for the rest of us.
If you haven’t already streamed Season 1 of Undercover Billionaire, do yourself a favor while you’re optimistically racing into the new year.
Undercover Billionaire Returns to Discovery Channel
The reality series was such a hit for Discovery Channel, the show returns with two new offerings for the new year.
Undercover Billionaire Season 2
When you see Stearns struggling both financially and physically in Season 1, you might wonder why anyone would voluntarily follow in his footsteps. Somehow, Discovery has hoodwinked three new tycoons in Undercover Billionaire Season 2.
Season 2 follows three diverse entrepreneurs on their own quests to make that million. In his podcast, Grit Happens, Stearns called the show the “Mount Everest for entrepreneurs.” Why do you go on a show like this? To prove you can.
So who’s proving their success wasn’t just luck?
Real estate mogul Grant Cardone takes up the challenge. The hustling motivational speaker, author, and entrepreneur pushes his sizable social media following to “10X” their business, goals, and mindset. When you’re 10x-ing nothing, how far will he get?
Also joining the cast are two additional entrepreneurs. Elaine Culotti made a name for herself in the male-dominated construction industry, and I’m pumped to see the House of Rock creator rock it to a million dollar business on the show. Also joining the trio of entrepreneurs is Monique Idlett who is no stranger to sharing her knowledge with others. Her tech fund empowers new businesses and talent. We’ll have to wait to see if her mystery city provides the same empowerment she offers others.
Undercover Billionaire Season 2 premieres on Discovery Channel January 6th. You can also stream it on the new Discovery+.
Undercover Billionaire: Comeback City
Now a business owner in Erie, PA, Stearns is back in town in a spin-off of his successful reality show. For many small businesses across America, 2020 presented unique challenges. Erie was no different.
Comeback City follows Stearns as he offers invaluable guidance to struggling businesses in town, including the Underdog BBQ restaurant he created during Season 1. With Stearns and celebrity industry experts, can these businesses turn around their fledgling fates?
Stream the new show on Discovery+ on January 6 to find out.
For small business owners and entrepreneurs, these two new offerings from Discovery are a must-watch. You’ll be able to skip to the head of the class in the school of hard knocks, soaking in decades of know-how from successful self-made millionaires.
