This is when I realized I wanted to be an entrepreneur when I grew up. I went to school and got formally educated in understanding how the numbers worked because one of the failings that entrepreneurs make is they are good at bringing business in and developing business but they are not as good with the number side. I then went on a journey that included taking a blank sheet of paper, six different times and sketching out a business and built six companies into national firms. About 20 years ago I was tired of doing what I was doing and was financially capable of early retirement. After retirement I got into a speaking business and fell in love with helping sales people, sales managers, business owners, and entrepreneurs scale their business and their income.” – Jack DalyFor a more detailed look into Hyper Sales Growth according to Jack Daly Related Books: by Salim Ismail by Mark Hunter by Mike MichalowiczFor more advice, tips, and stories on entrepreneurship, join our community on and .

I came out of college and I had a crazy idea that I could make money from investing statistically or mathematically without actually knowing the investments themselves. My two icon investors were my professor and father and they both told me it wouldn’t work but despite their opinion I was sure it would and I was right. I was one of the early pioneers of the hedge fund business and so I was able to “retire” at age 35. After retirement I decided to take the knowledge that I had and share it with others. This led me to build a company called Financial Mentor which is an advanced education website that is geared around wealth building. This website is focused on people who are past the basics and ready for the next step.The inspiration was my coaching clients. Since I was coaching people on how to build wealth the number one question was how much money do I need and so I wrote the book on this subject because nobody else had done a proper job at it.” – Todd TresidderFor a detailed summary of How Much Money Do I Need to Retire according to Todd Tresidder Related Books: by Wes Moss by Emily Guy Birken by Larry KotlikoffFor more advice, tips, and stories on entrepreneurship, join our community on and .

In this episode, business expert and Olympian, Jeremy Bloom gives an in-depth preview of his book, Fueled By Failure, where he coaches you on turning failure into success.In his book Bloom provides actionable advice on overcoming failure through the personal lessons he has learned from well-respected coaches, athletes, and business leaders that have brought him to the top. The goal of the book is to help you push yourself through hard times, learn how to rebound after being defeated, create an amazing business culture, and uncover motivation you never knew existed.This book is perfect for aspiring entrepreneurs who have a desire to change the world, but lack the coaching and motivation of fighting through the difficulties of overcoming life’s challenges. About Jeremy Bloom:“I grew up in Loveland Colorado most of my life. I first saw the Olympics on TV when I was 10 years old and was struck by how incredible they were. I had been a skier since I was three years old and after seeing the Olympics is when I realized I could do something with that talent. I was also a football player and I told my parents at age 10 that I wanted to ski in the Olympics and I wanted to play in the NFL. They both looked at me and told me that I could do that if I really put my mind to it and attack my dreams. Through a lot of good luck and fortune I was able to live out both of those dreams. I competed in two Olympics for the United States in freestyle skiing and then went on to get drafted in the fifth round by the Philadelphia Eagles which I spent two seasons there. I was with the Pittsburgh Steelers before launching into my nonprofit and now running a venture back startup.My inspiration for writing this book came from my own personal experiences and also the observation of others. I grew up with some incredibly talented athletes and now I’m exposed to some wonderfully talented entrepreneurs and it’s been my observation in life that the inevitable setbacks that everybody encounters along their journey handles those moments a little bit differently. Along our journey we develop an ego and one of the things that an ego can do to be destructive to our dreams is over personalize the setbacks in our lives. I wanted to dive into this topic, talk to some of the most successful people, and share my journey in hopes of helping someone else accomplish their dreams.” – Jeremy BloomFor a detailed summary of Fueled By Failure according to Jeremy Bloom Related Books: by Hendrie Weisinger by Amy Morin by Chantal BurnsFor more advice, tips, and stories on entrepreneurship, join our community on and .
