Over the past few years, the entrepreneurial space has undergone several significant improvements. One such positive development is the push for inclusivity and democratization. Gone are the days when only the rich and elite have the capacity to build businesses. Because of this change and the massive advancements in technology, anyone, including the common folk, can start their very own venture.
This impressive phenomenon is something that Thomas Berkley can attest to. After all, becoming a successful entrepreneur was not part of his plan. However, serendipity found him after enlisting in the Air Force at the age of 18, when the young man met his first mentor, who introduced him to entrepreneurship and the ATM business.
“He told me that an individual could own the exact same ATMs that banks did, minus the cute coat of paint,” he shared. “He took me under his wing and helped me start my own ATM business right out of the military, and everything skyrocketed for me from there.”
In 2018, the inspiring entrepreneur had the brilliant idea of paying his success forward by sharing his knowledge with others. So, he started a YouTube channel, and on his first upload, he talked about how people can start their very own ATM business. The video received an overwhelmingly positive response, inspiring Thomas to continue releasing helpful and educational content.
Before long, audiences and subscribers started pouring in, allowing the leader to build a solid community. Since its early days, the channel has earned a whopping subscriber count of more than 13,000. As people continue to flock to his videos, many have started requesting the insightful man to help them set up their ATM businesses. These aspiring entrepreneurs even expressed willingness to pay the mentor for his services.
Due to the growing demand, Thomas has decided to lend a hand to these dedicated individuals; thus, ATM Freedom University was born. Since its inception, the remarkable enterprise has already helped upwards of 600 students build thriving ATM businesses.
The visionary explained how it works: “We’re a bit out there as we actually have a done-for-you business model. Here’s how that works. We bring in a new client, onboard them, find a location such as a barbershop that’s within 60 mins of the client’s home, negotiate the contract with the business owner, ship the atm to that location, send a tech to meet the client at the location so that the tech can install, program, and service the machine, and finally, our techs teach the client how to manage the machine. The whole process is completely hands-off.”
Because of ATM Freedom University’s unrivaled success in leading its students to prosperity, Thomas Berkley has earned a well-deserved spot as an industry authority. He has earned the highly coveted ClickFunnels Two Comma Club award, given to exceptional entrepreneurs who have scaled their enterprises to 7 figures. Moving forward, the incredible business owner and leader intends to continue his advocacy of guiding others toward the path of success.
