As a kid, there’s not a lot more embarrassing than taking a line drive to the face as it skips off the edge of the glove. Yeah, that was me, age nine. Ouch to my face. Ouch to my ego. There I was, standing in the baseball field trying to learn how to catch a […]
Have you ever truly thought about what makes people free? What makes people who love what they do so free? What makes them enjoy the process so much that they’re willing to risk all the “perks” that the normal, status quo route provides? And why is it that they risk it all for the journey […]
During an event I hosted awhile back, I had an interesting conversation with Lt. Col. Rob “Waldo” Waldman about his experiences in combat. I asked him the question: “What would your choice be if you had to pick an ideal wingman to go into combat?” His response might just surprise you . . . The macho […]
I’ve been an entrepreneur for many years, and I can absolutely tell you that I’ve seen it all. The highs are highs, and the lows are lows. Everything in between is simply the journey. However, one thing I have found is that no matter what age you’re at or how long you’ve been in the […]

Here we are. It’s the last quarter of the year, and it’s go time. This is my favorite time of the year because the last quarter is when you harvest. It’s when you get to see, for the first time, all the things you sowed from your efforts earlier in the year. And of course, […]
I am an entrepreneur and that life doesn’t come easy. I am an entrepreneur by choice and given that this road is less traveled, has more obstacles, is often misunderstood and it is a grind ‘em out journey, then I must be committed 100% or I shouldn’t even bother. The fact is, I wouldn’t be […]
It was about 6 or 7 years ago, and I found myself all over the place. Thriving, yes, but hitting plateaus that I couldn’t seem to break. So, I did what most other successful people have done before me. I hired a business consultant to find out what I was doing wrong and what I […]
I know what you’re thinking. Jay, the two most powerful assets of a business have to be the CEO and the company’s employees, right? Nope, that’s not it. Well, then it’s got to be products and sales, right? Getting closer, but nope. See, while all of the aforementioned assets are important, they don’t come to […]
“If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.” – Dale Carnegie It’s all in the little things.
