When I launched my roof rejuvenation company, I realized most homeowners had no idea what those black streaks on their roof really meant. To them, it just looked like dirt. But it was worse. It's algae slowly eating away at shingles and cutting years off a roof’s life. Here’s the problem: If people don’t understand the real issue, they’ll never see the value in the solution. That’s when I realized my first job wasn’t selling. It was educating them in my marketing. - Educating homeowners that their roof wasn’t “dirty.” - Educating them that replacement wasn’t always necessary. - Educating them that rejuvenation could save tens of thousands and extend a roof’s life by 6–12 years. The lesson? You can’t sell a solution until your customer understands the problem.

When your intent is to get a sale or a meeting, it creates anxiety because you’re attaching your self-worth to an outcome. If you don't achieve the desired results, those anxious feelings intensify. However, there is a way out of this cycle. One powerful approach is to let go of the assumption that everyone wants what you're selling. By detaching from the outcome and shifting your focus to the process, you can liberate yourself from the grip of anxiety. Recognize that you have no control over how others interpret your message or whether they respond. You also cannot dictate when or if people will buy. What you can control is your own actions you take during the process. Take charge of who you reach out to, the number of people you contact, and the way you convey your message. Embrace the process and concentrate on refining your outreach efforts. Be open to the possibility that you’re not a fit for everyone. By acknowledging this, you free yourself from the pressure to please everyone and allow space for connections with those who resonate with your offer. Shifting your mindset and focusing on the process rather than obsessing over the outcome, you empower yourself to approach sales with a renewed sense of confidence. Different intent. Different feelings. Different mindset. Different results. The joy of selling happens when you detach from the outcome and focus on the journey itself.

GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY! I'm Nicholas Jordan, an Army veteran, new entrepreneur, and technical founder. I founded Acris Software in September 2025 to create a new AI-native Electronic Medical Records system for small-to-medium size neurology clinics due to my combat injuries. I'm currently completing PenFed Foundation's Incubator Program, IVMF's Syracuse University's EBV program, and will be attending Harvard University's Foundry program in September. I'm passionate about what I'm building and I've been writing software since I could walk. I spent the last 5 years rehabilitating from injuries, physical and mental, where I attended PTSD Foundation of America's Camp Hope in Houston Texas. That healing journey has led me to my new mission: revealing the unseen.

It's time to celebrate the victories. Big or small. One of the best parts of being in a community of veteran entrepreneurs is seeing each other succeed. Whether you: - Landed a new client - Closed a sale - Launched your business - Hit a revenue milestone - Finished your website - Hired your first employee - Earned a certification - Took the first step toward starting your business ...we want to celebrate it with you.
