How I can help

How to work with me

What I can offer

Direct and sometimes brutal honesty. You have to face it sometime, better to do it in a safe space than with a potential customer or investor after you've spent way too much of your own money. I have run successful large-scale businesses. I have developed award winning consumer products. I have led sales organizations over 1,400 people strong. I know how to build things. And I'm willing to work with those that can accept feedback--always constructive--but positive or negative. Only interested in working with those that are committed to finding a path to make a business work. Entrepreneurship and/or business leadership is not for the weak of heart.

My expectations for a successful mentoring relationship

Openness. Inventiveness. Ability to persevere despite insurmountable odds and inevitable failures. Ability to accept (not necessarily agree with, but accept) constructive criticism and feedback. These are my expectations for a mentee. I will commit to working with anyone who shows the traits above. I will provide insight and lessons gained from a career of successes and failures. I have learned that one of the most important thing is "knowing what you don't know." Understanding that, and surrounding yourself with those that have experience with areas that you do not. I hope to offer a bit of knowledge to those that may newer in carving out a path in the business world.

How entrepreneurs can prepare before we start

Think deeply about what you want, why you want it, and if is important enough to hit your head against a wall every day until you achieve it. Good ideas are a dime a dozen. People that truly have what it takes to successfully build a good idea into a business are as rare as hen's teeth.
