How did you yourself get started?
How, as an entrepreneur, I got started when I was 35 years old.
I was working for a big bank and I was running the mergers and
acquisitions department, the bank.
And the bank was going through a soft summer and they did some downsizing
and they looked at the payroll and I had one of the higher salaries.
So they fired me, uh, which actually turned out to be the best thing that
could happen because I walked across the street, uh, got, you know, got
laid off on Friday, Monday morning.
I started my own business as investment banking firm and I grew it for 10 years.
And then I sold it and I moved over here to the United States and became a coach.
And then, you know, uh, got really mesmerized by this idea of a business
operating systems and how it can help people who don't have MBAs from business
schools to actually be at a great business, essentially access all those
concepts that the MBA guys, the mechanisms teach, but at a much simpler form.
And, uh, I kind of love this idea of democratizing these highfalutin
concepts, allowing entrepreneurs access to it, and then help them grow their
business, take it from the local fast 50 and then to the INC 5000 and then
even some of them will go to the fortune 500.
