Jimmy Esparza Talks About Building a Remarkable Resale Business

Too Long; Didn't Read

There are thousands of articles, videos, and courses out there that promise to teach you the secrets of the side hustle. “Just start reselling products on Amazon”, they’ll say, “and you can become rich like me!” This isn’t that.  A few months ago, I sat down with Jimmy Esparza for the Success Story podcast. He’s the CEO of Renewable Power USA, one of the most successful companies in America, and a leading member in the charge toward renewable energy. Essentially, Jimmy runs a resale business. His company doesn’t manufacture the solar panels that they install, and they’re not designing new tech. He’s taking products from a manufacturer (companies like Tesla, in this case), and reselling them across the country. Except this isn’t just a side hustle. Renewable Power USA now ranks No. 465 on the Inc. 5000 list, reporting 1,341% growth over the last three years. How did he do it? Well, he was kind enough to share some of his wisdom which I’ve expanded on for this week’s newsletter.
