Today’s guests: Josh Niehaus

Josh Niehaus moved to California with $100 dollars in his pocket in 2008. His only options were to grow or to give up. In 2009, he joined The Elite Group Termite division. This division was on the verge of shutting its doors after the recent market collapse. Josh implemented changes in the system and daily routines of the employees. In 6 months, the production increased 400 percent and Josh was promoted to Manager of the whole division at age 23. He currently is the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Elite Group.

Stacey: Josh, welcome to the show.

Josh: Stacey, thanks so much for having me. I’ve been looking forward to this ever since I saw you last in your classroom.

Stacey: You know what, I have too. You are a dynamo, dynamic, and just a force to be reckoned with, and I have been so excited for our listeners to hear a lot about your journey and who you are. You and I have a lot in common, as far as starting out young, achieving young, and just blowing things up. First, how does anyone move to Southern California with $100 in their pocket?

Josh: Well that is a question, and I will do a condensed version. I grew up in South Dakota, small town, and you kind of get that small town vibe. And it snows a lot in South Dakota in some winters, and seasonal depression – I am a true believer – is a real experience. I went through a bad breakup. I started drinking real heavily. Drinking is really common in small, rural towns, and I started drinking heavy. It got to a point in my head where I said, “Hey. I need to get away from this environment.” So I said, “I am going to sell everything.” I sold my car. I couldn’t afford a plane ticket to southern California, so I got one to Vegas. On the morning of, my mom was dropping me off at the airport. I couldn’t get a hold of my ride that was supposed to pick me up to take me from Vegas to southern California, and I am like, “I am going anyway.” I actually ended up sitting at the airport for 12 hours and finally got a ride over to southern California. I quickly realized that it wasn’t South Dakota that was the problem, it was myself.
