Classic VW BuGs, How Vallone Started an Internet Based Business with Volkswagen Beetles

Chris Vallone with one of his VW Bugs

I get asked numerous times, “How the Hell did you start ClassicVWbugs.com?

I would say it definitely is a unique biz, a niche biz.  This is a Hobby I turned into a business.  I did not want to work for anyone, I wanted to be my own boss, and I knew in today’s day, if you have a phone and an internet connection, you can start a business TOMORROW!  You just need to have the creative edge. 

I found two telephone interviews of me online recently that I forgot existed.  These are download/podcast type audio interviews that you can enjoy at anytime.  If you are interested in being your own boss, an entrepreneur?  These interviews might give ya a nice boost.  =o)

This is how I started in a one car garage, to now a 2000sq ft facility, to being showcased on FOXNEWS, USA Today, Magazine Features, and doing a ’56 Beetle for Jerry Seinfeld.  We started local, now we are global with close to a 3 year wait list to build beetles for clients.

Recently interviewed on a new site that just launched called “Small Business Stories.”

Small Business Stories is a podcast site where business owners share how they got started, overcame challenges, and found success. They also share helpful tips and insights.

Leland Faux is the creator of this new site, he came across our lil bug site here and thought we would be a great kick off to his new website as an inspirational biz story.

We also talk about how I built a Beetle for Jerry Seinfeld .

You can listen to the interview by clicking HERE.

And shortly after…

RPS

“Real People Showcase”  also did a similar interview with me HERE.  These two sites speak about entrepreneurship, starting a business, etc.

These are great little downloads/podcasts that you can listen to anywhere you want.  Maybe these audios can give you some tips on starting your own business?
