David Sharpe, Founder & CEO of Legendary Marketer went from a 9th-grade dropout and recovering addict, to INC 5000 using a non-traditional approach to strategies and workforce.

SAINT PETERSBURG, Fla., Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Inc. 5000 list, is the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 have not only been successful but have also demonstrated resilience amid worldwide financial woes and the ongoing impact of Covid-19.

“We teach our students real, valuable, transferable marketing & online business-building skills that will benefit them for years, even decades. Legendary Marketer is poised to continue their growth as the E-learning age continues to expand.” - David Sharpe, CEO

Post this

With Legendary Marketer's ranking at 63rd for education, we are proving that alternative, quality, online education is how the world wants to consume knowledge that garners usable, transferable skills.

With the continued accolades that Legendary Marketer receives in creating quality, alternative education of transferable schools in the online space, a deeper story of our founder and CEO, David Sharpe continues to prove determination, grit, and consistency are crucial to entrepreneurial success.

David Sharpe was a 9th Grade Drop Out and is now an INC 5000 Recipient - All From Building Online Education From Home.

When David Sharpe was 24 years old, he found himself homeless, strung out, withdrawing from heroin and other opiate painkillers, and desperately needed help.

One day, he made his way to his Dad's house, standing at his dad's door. He stood there weak, frail, almost unable to raise his arm to knock on the door.

Dave's dad hadn't seen him in years and as they stood there face to face, Dave asked humbly, "Help me save my life."

His Dad opened the door, let Dave sleep on his couch, brought him along on construction jobs, and gave him a safe place to try and piece his life back together.

The hours working construction were long.

After sweating endlessly in the hot Florida sun on job sites, Dave was again feeling stuck like there was no end in sight. He was driven to continue to grow more, push harder, and be something bigger than a construction worker.

He found himself surfing the web on his old clunky, painfully slow computer, and made the first most important search that many today find themselves making…

How do I make money online?

Dave may be a 9th-grade dropout, but he was smart enough to know that he wanted to own his own business.

Like all aspiring business owners, he wanted to build a business with an endless supply of customers.

BUT, he wanted to achieve this dream by working from home.

This was NOT a concept accepted 14 years ago.

Working from home was almost unheard of, let alone building an entire business that is remote-based.

Dave went for it anyways. He had nothing to lose.

He kept searching for ways to make this dream a reality.

One day, he had a million-dollar discovery while standing in a hardware store.

"I looked over and I saw a man confused and I asked him if I could help out. He said his toilet was leaking and because of my construction experience, I was able to point him toward the little $5 wax ring that he needed to put under his toilet to create a waterproof seal. That confused man was instantly happy, so happy. In fact, he tipped me $100 Just to say thanks and that was the first money I'd earned from what I know versus what I did."

Dave realized the pathway to making his dream a reality.

Since then he's been packaging knowledge and selling it.

He put his strategies into action and built an online income to not only support himself and his family but thrive not just survive.

He's then taken all he learned, tested, and those proven strategies and results and is now teaching others to do the same.
Dave felt a calling to help as many people stop living a life of survival, but one that is meaningful, memorable, and filled with achievement and pride.

Legendary Marketer was born.

Over the next five years, the company saw steady, sometimes surprising growth year after year.

Then In 2021 alone, Legendary Marketer tripled its revenue and was named one of Inc. Magazine's 5000 fastest-growing privately held companies in America (the 63rd fastest-growing education company).

David Sharpe has built a company that is 100% remote, with employees and contractors from all around the globe. It's a company that is built on integrity and provides real solutions and strategies for the company's students.

Creating a 100% remote workplace also allows him to fill positions with the best talent, and not solely based on geographic location. From his highly skilled and sought-after team of advisors, top-notch customer support, and executive team, David Sharpe has created a work culture that is second to none. This ultimately proves to continue to over-deliver high-level, high-quality education and support to the students.

Since March 2020, Legendary Marketer has interviewed a successful student from our program, on its LIVE podcast- Wake Up Legendary nearly every single weekday, with over 500 success stories and a waiting list of countless new legends waiting to tell their story. Hundreds of normal, everyday folks who've turned their mess into a message, their struggles into their strengths.

They're the real legends of Legendary Marketer.

Now, in 2022, Legendary Marketer has broken even more company sales records and continues to deliver online marketing education simply and with integrity.

Most of the traditional education systems train people how to become employees on the old, clunky, outdated hamster wheel. But at Legendary Marketer, students are learning real, valuable, transferable skills that will benefit them for years, even decades. And Legendary Marketer is poised to continue its growth as the E-learning age continues to expand.

Legendary Marketer and David Sharpe have proven to be the pioneer in high-quality, alternative education and will continue to dominate the space for years to come.
