Entrepreneurial Role Models:
When business started difficulties overcame:
“my biggest difficulty was uncertainty. There was so much uncertainty in regard to the industry I was headed into because it was not my background whatsoever… At the beginning I was all business background and economics numbers and management and things like that and here I was trying to start a business as a coach and writer and speaker which I had no idea what that was about. So overcoming that uncertainty. The goal was to fully immerse myself in it and learn from people and learn from reading and learn from just treating myself as a human guinea pig, experimenting with things and failing and not being afraid to fail, explore my curiosities and fail again in order to ultimately find my place in this world of personal development”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“record your wins. It’s going to be a very difficult journey and recording moments of pure happiness, these cloud nine moments that I’ve mentioned will continue you down the right path. Because it’s going to be difficult, days are going to feel like you didn’t accomplish anything, there are going to be days when you truly get rejected and you fail.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Jordan Gross:
- “I don’t try to separate business and life too much I think they can definitely go hand-in-hand as a feedback loop”
- “if I could do it all again I would be a little bit more patient because that would have helped my mindset and my mental game… Knowing now it’s about longevity and endurance and being patient in achieving what you want to achieve I would be a lot more comfortable in those early stages not seeing the results that I so desired so quickly”
- “I think the first secret to success is defining what success means to you”
- “once you have given yourself the definition of what success is there are two versions of yourself. I believe that there is a version of the person that you are and the person that you could become. And in order to attain success you have to bridge the gap between who you currently are and who you could possibly become”
