"Everything you want is on the other side of something hard."

I don't want to make this about me, but since you asked. 🤣

When I left my father's business to start my first company, my wife (at the time) didn't believe I could do it, so she took off. We had 2 kids and almost $0 net worth. Yes, it was hard, but 5 years later I made my first million. And I've been happily re-married for 20 years. 😊 Believe in yourself when no one else does.

I love growing companies, but I also developed a passion for health and wellness while solving a personal challenge 10 years ago. I earned professional certifications in nutrition and fitness. Thought about being a health coach for a minute, but ultimately decided to stay in my lane.

I still run a Spartan race every year and recently started competing in gravel bike races. 💪 I do hard things like this to stay mentally and physically able to be, do, and have everything I want for as long as possible. Money doesn't matter if you can't enjoy it.

My Why

I'm on a mission to help small business owners enjoy a 7-figure lifestyle. We don't need more small businesses. We need more of the good ones to survive. And thrive! That's why I do this.

On a more personal level, I agree with Jim Rohn, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." I enjoy hanging out with other small business owners and want to continue learning and growing with them.

My Guiding Principles

My leader team and I collaborated 20 years ago to come up with these and I've been living by them ever since.

Do the Right Thing. Climb the right mountain. Do what matters most. Treat everyone with respect.

Go the Extra Mile. Give before you get. Do more than expected.

Communicate Effectively. Open your mind. Listen with intent to understand. Be clear and constructively honest. 

Collaborate More. Focus on what you do best. Find a partner to help you with the rest.  Build trusting relationships.

Beat Your Best. Celebrate your success and then find a bigger mountain. Think differently.
