Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Pitts.
Hi Michael, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My story starts with my parents, who were entrepreneurs before it was cool. Growing up, I bounced between their contrasting businesses – a construction site and a hair salon. While I didn’t fully understand their path, their independent spirit instilled a love for learning and building something on my own.
Formal education wasn’t a priority in my household, but a thirst for knowledge drove me to libraries (remember those?) to devour information. This unconventional upbringing gave me a unique perspective on entrepreneurship.
Despite good grades, I found myself unfulfilled in high school and college. Early jobs felt like dead ends, lacking challenge and purpose.
A chance encounter led me to a career-defining moment: corporate sales. While financially successful, it left me yearning for something more.
Background
Culture
Then came a book – “Think and Grow Rich” – and an MLM opportunity that focused on online marketing. These combined forces sparked a passion for the complex, ever-evolving world of digital marketing.
It wasn’t a straight path. Through trial and error, I translated my sales experience to the online realm, eventually launching my own marketing company.
My ideal environment is one where collaboration leads to growth. I thrive on helping businesses strengthen themselves by attracting the right clientele. This drive stems from witnessing the struggles of passionate individuals with incredible offerings who lack the marketing know-how to reach their full potential.
Education
While my formal education includes an internet marketing certifications, the real learning came from experience. I’ve become obsessed with every aspect of marketing, psychology, and human behavior to understand what truly motivates people.
The constant evolution of the digital landscape fuels my desire to stay ahead of the curve, constantly learning and refining my strategies.
This journey is far from over, and I’m eager to connect with others facing similar marketing challenges.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It was a very difficult road to start. Before I started my own I joined a about 3 different MLM (multi-level marketing companies). I didn’t make money at all until the last one I join where my mindset finally shifted to entrepreneur mode. Meaning I took it very seriously and I made money. Once that happened I decided that I could do this for myself and keep the profit while building something I truly believed in. Shortly after I started my first business in basketball skill training which I excelled in but I discovered that I had far more passion playing the game than teaching. Second I bought an ABA Basketball team with a partner at the time, we ran that for about three years and then I left it in my partners hands.
Now during all of this I was studying marketing taking class and getting certification. I realized I was really enjoying everything about this industry. After failing so many times I started my marketing journey as a freelancer. I was excited and hungry, I went from business to business walking right in the door and offering my services and I didn’t get any clients because I had no idea how to convert clients. Fortunately I had a relative with a medium sized company that gave me a chance. That’s when I got my first results.
After a few years and a few business models I ended up at Digital Transformation Expert as my title. It’s a mixture of marketing and technology which is at the heart of my company today.
