54 Brandon Lucero – Sold with Video
Brandon Lucero Sold with Video
Brandon Lucero Sold with Video founder, has been doing video production and YouTube marketing for about 7 years. He got his start when he was in college when he was living in Newport Beach. He started working on websites, building traffic to them and then selling the sites. Brandon dropped out of college to work for a video production company. After a short while, paychecks started to come in late and he knew that he had to do something else.
Brandon had to figure out a way to earn money without relying on someone else. In the last 12 months, Brandon’s business has generated over $700k. He’s been able to partner with successful entrepreneur’s like James Wedmore and many others that the Opiners are probably familiar with.
He is pretty much self taught. After spending countless hours editing videos for clients, Brandon knew that he had to do something in order to scale his business. He found video editors to help him so he could concentrate on the sales and marketing. Now, he has several editors helping him with the videos and he solely concentrates on building relationships and growing his business.
Making the Transition to Full Time Entrepreneur
The last person to say that he was able to make this happen is because of his wife. Not only did she allow and support Brandon,she always gave him encouragement. There were times when Brandon made certain decisions that his wife didn’t really understand, but she held true and supported him. Brandon went on to describe how brave and caring his wife was to do this.
It was difficult for a time, but thanks to his wife’s parents, they gave them a place to stay rent free. Brandon doesn’t think he would have been able to do what he did without their help. Brandon felt guilty that he wasn’t in a position to support his wife, especially living with his in-laws.
It was right around the two year mark when Brandon decided to reach out to a mentor. He avoided this because he thought he knew what he needed to do in order to be successful. Looking back at it now, he would have paid for it. His very first mentor was on a webinar that he did and offered to help him. Brandon thought his first mentor wanted something in return for helping him, but he didn’t.
Brandon listened well and his business took off. Brandon learned to focus more time on marketing and less time on service oriented items. He knew that he had the video editing down, but what good was this skillset without having customers. Together with his mentor, Brandon looked over the business plan and tweaked it to become what it is today.
A lot of people think you should stay away from your competition. Working with your competition can actually help you make more money. – Brandon Lucero

About Jaime Jay
Meet Jaime Jay – a man who wears many hats, and wears them all admirably. He's a master connector, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and a published author who knows how to get things done.
Before he found his way to the business world, Jaime served his country as a brave paratrooper in the U.S. Army. But that's just the beginning of his many accomplishments.
He's the founder of the renowned Bottleneck Distant Assistant Services firm, and his book "Quit Repeating Yourself" has become a must-read for entrepreneurs everywhere.
When he's not busy building his empire, you can find him on his beloved Harley Davidson, cruising through the countryside and taking in the invigorating effects of Uitwaaien – a Dutch practice that involves facing the wind to boost health and relieve stress.
He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.
He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.

Their team has played a vital role in helping us staff our customer support and ensuring our customers were satisfied with our services.

Jeff Peñaflor2022-09-14I started last March 24, 2021 as a Dedicated Distant Assistant and it was an awesome experience. In this new journey, as Security Administrator of Bottleneck Distant Assistants, I have been supported by the team, A LOT !!!! All help that I need, the whole team is there to support me. I know that there are a lot of room for improvements with my skills and what I know, but because of BNDA, I became equipped with all the weapons I need to conquer the daily challenges especially with my tasks. With BNDA, they will not just help you to aim high, but soar the skies!
Tinoe D2022-09-09I don't remember the last time I loved what I was doing until Bottleneck came into the picture. I love working for bottleneck, they are professional. The management makes the workplace fun and they're very flexible. I definetly recommend that you make that important switch and be part of something big today by joining BNDA.

Sara Knox2022-09-07What an awesome business! Finally, a way to hire the RIGHT person for my administrative tasks and they are remote! No office space to consider, W2's, 1099's or payroll. Jaime and his team of remote workers are top-notch! I hired my first assistant in May. I recently suffered a motorcycle accident and it left me unable to work for 2 weeks. But my assistant stepped right in to guide our CEO on all matters financial. It’s so nice to have that stress eliminated from my life!
