Jeff Clemmensen was a U.S. Navy Electronics Technician for 6 years and then in the industry for another 10 years before escaping the 9 to 5 and starting MiPhone Doctor of Fresno California. They repair iPhones, iPads, and iPods. As the business grew, he taught his wife Deadrea how to repair the phones as well. “After years of working to make others wealthy we finally got up the gumption to venture out and break free of the corporate grind to become our own bosses”.
Jeff and Deadrea have learned that escaping the 9 to 5 doesn’t always mean working less than 8 hours. You usually end up working more. “But it’s for ourselves, for our own business, and for OUR future”. Both left their 9 to 5’s because they knew there were better ways to run things within their respective jobs, but they never seemed to be heard. Now, they are paying the bills and having a great time working together. “It’s really refreshing to know that you hold your own fate in this world. Sure you can come and go as you please, but for the first time in our lives we feel that we have the freedom to choose”.
The Business
During their 3 years in business, Jeff and Deadrea have made many mistakes along the way. One of the biggest was doubting their abilities to make a business work for them. The small business administration (www.sba.gov) was a big help in getting them started on the right path and having a business that fit with their values. “We wanted to treat people honestly and with respect, have integrity in our business practices, and offer them an iPhone, iPad, or iPod repair that wouldn’t break the bank.”
