In this episode, baseball instructor and pitching expert Demetrius Mitchell joins us in the guest chair. Demetrius is the founder of the fast-growing pitching destination DM Pitching. As a Jackson St University grad with playing experience and an offer from Major League teams, he started out as a coach and scout. He didn’t go into it with the intention of building a business or making money from it. Fast forward eight years and he’s been recognized everywhere from over 60 various baseball websites, and is known for curating platforms for youth with an emphasis on self-improvement. Demetrius has been heralded in Texas, Oklahoma, and the surrounding states.
On this episode, Demetrius shares:
• The planning he did before leaving coaching and scouting
• How you can make money from pitching instruction in the current landscape (all the revenue streams he pursues)
• How African American pitching instructors can approach sponsored opportunities
• The difference between popularity and INFLUENCE
• His approach to expanding his original business into new verticals, including clinics
• How to financially sustain yourself given the unpredictable nature of entrepreneurship
