I built a automotive marketing, staffing, and direct mail business from $1.8 Million in gross revenue to $15.6 Million in 23 months. Here are the greatest lessons I have learned in my multiple involvements with startups.

1. You are the heart beat of the business. People are extremely important in the building process. They can be your biggest asset or your biggest downfall.

2. Start your day everyday with a minimum of 90 minutes to yourself. My personal preference is the 60 minutes prior to sunrise and 30 minutes during and after sunrise. Read, learn, seek wisdom. Hit your knees and reach out to the God of your understanding, the universe, the super conscious mind... MEDITATE on what you have read. Seek answers, strength, solutions, opportunities, etc. Envision where you want to see your company. Take a mental drive in this space and feel the frequency of connectivity and alignment. Download as much from the Universe as you can and follow your intuition. After meditating eat healthy, hydrate, and exercise.

3. It’s ok to make mistakes. Mistakes are the building blocks of success. They serve us with insight and lessons that are invaluable.

4. Live in possibility. It’s possible!

5. Daily objectives should be listed out. You should have so many every day that you often times run out of time before they are finished. Write them down on tomorrow’s list. This is getting maximum value and efficiency from your contribution daily.

6. Be humble. Always be open to growing and learning.

7. Chase your dreams. Don’t chase the money.

8. Your going to get your ass kicked. Often. Every struggle, battle, win, and loss makes you stronger. BE PERSEVERANCE.

9. Be comfortable being uncomfortable outside of your comfort zone. This truly is where the miracles happen.

10. Self affirmations are critical. Write them down everywhere. The subconscious mind and the start up environment can bring negativity often. Be prepared to replace those negative thoughts with positive affirmations.

11. You can do it. You are creator.
