My Vision
As I reflect on my journey, I am reminded of the invaluable lessons I've learned. Now, I'm grateful to share my insights with fellow entrepreneurs. With over three decades of experience in business, I have achieved remarkable success and also endured losses that have instilled in me -sometimes through the brutal force of a baseball bat- a deep appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit. I hesitate to label it as wisdom, but I now grasp the importance of being both cautious and bold.
My approach is rooted in the belief that true fulfillment comes not only from professional achievements but also from leading a life of purpose. By embracing this perspective, I aim to support you in crafting imaginative business strategies that not only drive growth but also foster a sense of fulfillment in your journey.
While I'm still involved in a few ventures, I bring to the table a wealth of ongoing experience and a passion for innovation that fuels my commitment to helping entrepreneurs thrive.
With a genuine desire to serve, It would be a privilege to navigate with you the complexities of entrepreneurship with courage, integrity, and a steadfast commitment to your vision. Build something amazing!
“Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.”
-Jonathan Swift
