Investing In Yourself -- I spend a great deal of money every month on investing in myself.  Whether it's the hundreds of dollars I spend on supplements or eating clean with non-GMO, Organic food and juicing, I have come to realize that I am the most valuable asset to my companies and need to be treating myself as such.  

Q&A Friday Episode 1 -- In this inaugural Q and A Episode, I cover a wide array of your questions.  I was completely blown away by the thought that went into these questions and encourage all of you to keep sending them to [email protected] for future Q&A Friday episodes.  

Creating New Opportunities -- This one comes a little bit more naturally to me than some of the other topics I have discussed.  Often times, I have gotten myself in trouble by creating more opportunities than my team can process or handle at that specific point in time.

Steve Sherman, Founder of Sherman Business Law, joins Entrepreneur Hour to discuss legal advice for your startup or small business and some of the common mistakes he sees people making as well as how to avoid them.

Overcoming Adversity -- This one was a tough one for me in the first few years of my first business.  I have now developed a strategic plan to allow myself to be human and go through that natural progression of worry and panic but then collect my thoughts, develop a plan, discuss it with my team and implement a strategy so that we can learn, move forward and get back to enjoying our business.  

Dr. Obed Jimenez, President of Antillean Adventist University, joins Entrepreneur Hour to discuss the importance of Passion, Balance and Faith in life.  

Never Give Up -- Far too often, we mistake our challenges as signs we should move on to something else or that our businesses are flawed.  However, my experience has led me to believe these challenges and/or struggles are merely opportunities for us to learn, grow and become the best entrepreneurs we can be.
