Manage episode 383084910 series 1949106
Chelsea Lahmers is the owner of Motorichmond. Entrepreneurship was in her blood, coming from a family of entrepreneurs. After graduating high school at the top of her class, being involved in different businesses and going to University of Virginia, nothing felt complicated or motivating to her so she dropped everything and bought a mail order business for vintage Vespa parts with $800 in the bank. Today she has grown a 15,000 square foot motorcycle dealership through some combination of cleverness and force of will.
During this episode learn about work ethic, going global vs staying local, compression vs expansion and focusing on your market, servicing everybody instead of spreading too thin. Chelsea discusses growing stronger revenue and stronger base by building relationships.
