North Carolina Client: Javier Baez Armenta
Building a Business with Purpose and Determination
Originally from Mexico, Javier Baez Armenta is the owner of Mr Tile, LLC, a flooring installation business established in January 2018 in Candler, North Carolina. His company specializes in ceramic, marble, and natural stone flooring, serving residential clients with a focus on quality and craftsmanship.
Before starting his business, Javier worked multiple jobs, including his last position as a dishwasher. When his daughter was born, he found the motivation to take initiative and dedicate himself to building a business centered on work he genuinely enjoyed. That moment marked a turning point in his personal and professional journey.
Mr Tile originally served clients in the Asheville area of Western North Carolina. After Hurricane Helene impacted the region, Javier made the decision to expand his services to the Charlotte area. This shift allowed his business to continue moving forward and reach new markets.
Finding Guidance Through Prospera
Javier was referred to Prospera after seeking help with marketing from a colleague who specialized in the field but was unable to support him at the time. Marketing was one of the main areas where Javier needed guidance, especially as he struggled to reach new clients.
When he connected with Prospera, his business was facing challenges related to visibility, marketing strategy, and regional disruption following Hurricane Helene. Through Prospera’s personalized support, Javier received guidance that helped him reevaluate his marketing approach and better understand how to reach his audience. This process gave him a new perspective on how to move his business forward.
In addition, Javier values Prospera’s virtual seminars, which have allowed him to continue learning despite his demanding work schedule. Through these sessions, he has gained practical knowledge relevant to his business and connected with other entrepreneurs facing similar challenges. This ongoing learning has supported his efforts to organize his business and plan for future growth.
Strengthening His Business Structure
With Prospera’s guidance, Javier reorganized the structure of his business. He developed a business plan that helped him clarify how he wants to grow his company. This included defining financial, educational, and execution plans aligned with his goals.
The support he received also reinforced the importance of continuing his professional development. Javier recognized the value of educating himself further to strengthen his business. One of his goals is to obtain his general contractor license as part of that process.
Looking Ahead
In the short term, Javier aims to significantly increase his revenue. Looking ahead, his long-term goal is to build his own home, a milestone that represents both personal and professional growth.
Javier’s Advice to Other Entrepreneurs
“Look for the right people and organizations that have enthusiasm to help you find the resources and connections. Organizations like Prospera offer assistance and point you toward doors with more connections.”
With determination, clarity, and continued learning, Javier Baez Armenta continues strengthening Mr Tile, LLC. His journey reflects a commitment to growth built on education, adaptability, and perseverance.
