Entrepreneurial Role Models:
Jonathan Lewis founder of Eastport Financial Group
When business started difficulties overcame:
“I needed to overcome ignorance. I think the thing I overcame naturally and I didn’t really know I was overcoming that I see a lot of people get hung up on now is I’ve been in business for 17 / 18 years – whatever the number is… Is I only focus on what really mattered in the beginning? So, I didn’t get a fancy website, I didn’t have a fancy logo, I invested 37 dollars in an ink cartridge so that I could print my first contract – that was my first investment in the business. What did I absolutely need to generate cash flow and to generate value? I needed to print a contract and value proposition – that was all I needed.

Favourite Quote:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” The Man in the Arena – Theodore Roosevelt

“Stop listening to this podcast and any podcast and any webinar and anything that you are doing right now and go and start working at it, get it done. I wouldn’t listen to any more of Neil’s 2000 plus podcasts unless it’s in the background while I actually doing what I say I’m going to do so that you become the person that Neil then calls to be on the podcast instead of just listening to it”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Jeremy D Brown:
- “I think the biggest thing is finding the right coach and the right guide and the right mentor. So, I think you have got to have three layers of relationship. Number one you have got to have a one-on-one relationship. That mentor who knows everything about you… All of your faults and all of your crap and knows your books… Like they have got your financials. Then I think you have to have number two is a small group. A small group setting between six and ten people who you get together…”
- “I think people need to first think about: what’s the lifestyle I want to build? What’s the life I want to live? And then what kind of business model my going to need to create in order to live that lifestyle? If we don’t do that growing a business is so easy”
- “Tiny little 30 second to 1-minute gaps that I have in the day. If I use those 30 second gaps to look at something that’s distracting, I become a distracted person. But if I use those 30 second gaps to focus my mind, I can be productive all day”
- “Whatever goals you are dealing with, that you are playing with and you are looking at… And just ask yourself how important is this to me? And if it is important you, do it. And if it is not important that is okay, identify it is not a priority and move on and then it doesn’t clutter up your mind… But how important is your goal to you. I would encourage you to wrestle with that question”
