The Journey of a Serial Entrepreneur: Meet Sylvester Chisom

Sylvester Chisom is a serial entrepreneur from St. Louis, Missouri (University City to be exact). The first generation in his family to attend college, Sylvester graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Biology.

While completing the coursework needed to pursue a career in dentistry, he saw immediate promise in his entrepreneurial ventures - including throwing massive parties with famous DJs and starting a car wash business with his best friend. At their college graduation, he and his business partner made a deal that they would commit to their business for a year to see if they would be successful. If they weren't, they agreed that they would continue with their graduate education.

Years later, Sylvester has grown his first startup Showroom Shine to multiple locations and Fortune 500 clients including Amazon as well as the Ferguson Police Department and Post Office. His company has also received national recognition as the winners of the Steve Harvey Neighborhood Award 4 years in a row. His ideas and companies have been featured in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and INC Magazine among others.

Some key points Sylvester shares:

1. Try to find an entry point into any career you're interested in as early as possible. Research careers online, seek volunteer opportunities, conduct informational interviews over the phone or invite people to coffee to learn more about their careers.

2. Every success or failure that you have creates another opportunity. You must take a step back to identify how you can leverage the opportunity you have into another one. If an opportunity doesn't go well, take the time to identify the lesson in the experience.

3. Never let anyone outwork you. As you work, be sure to do focused work as the compound effect works in your favor.

4. Always add value. Always leave any space you enter better than how you found it.

5. Learn how to appreciate delayed gratification. Because greatness takes some time to achieve, people oftentimes quit too early.

Connect with Sylvester!
