“There’s nothing that makes me unique,” Zain Jan says of the success he has achieved in the solar industry. “I’m a regular guy who came from nothing. I just had a burning desire to succeed and a big dream in my heart. I stopped listening to my excuses and started achieving my dreams. I believe anyone could do what I do if they set their mind to it, take tons of action and learn quickly.”
At only 25 years old, Zain has founded two eight-figure companies, accomplishing over $100 million in sales in just three years. With a bent for entrepreneurship, this self-made millennial is only getting started. “I could retire now, but that’s not what I want,” he says. “My mission is too big for me to stop.”
Today, Zain is the CEO of Better Earth Solar, one of the fastest growing solar companies in America. With over 150 5-Star reviews on Google, Better Earth is setting the standard for solar energy around the world. While most solar companies specialize in either sales or installation, Better Earth offers both, and they do it with excellence.
Better Earth is on track to accomplish $150 million in sales in 2021. Despite the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic, Zain and his team pivoted to doing 50% of their business virtually, effectively tripling the size of the company. Better Earth has thrived where other companies failed, a feat Zain credits to the mindset he has carried throughout his career. “Mindset is everything,” he explains. “A lot of people tell me ‘Zain, you’re so lucky to be in the position you’re in.’ But really the only difference between me and them is my mindset, not luck or anything like that. I just looked for opportunities and worked hard.”
He continues, “I’m willing to wake up every day and work 14 hours a day, 7 days a week without stopping. I’ll do that for 50 years straight if that’s what it takes to achieve my purpose. I’ve decided to get rid of my excuses and just take action. When you take action, all your problems fade away.”
Despite the success he has achieved, Zain’s mission has never changed. Looking ahead, he plans to expand Better Earth to the next level. He notes, “My next projects are nationwide expansion and eventually worldwide operations. I want to be the biggest and best solar company in the whole world and help thousands of people every day cut their electric bills and help the world by using solar.”
