I started this book with a question: Have you ever flown an airplane? About that question...
For many years, I joked that if I wrote a book, it would be called The Unintentional Pilot, the story about how I overcame my fear of flying. Entrepreneurship often comes with a nice big side of fear, regardless of when in life you start your business, so it’s worthwhile to address it here. What are you afraid of? What are you doing to overcome it?
Key Points from Chapter 8
- Be honest with yourself about your fears, and be willing to confront them head-on.
- There’s no such thing as “job security.”
- There are ways to secure health insurance and put together a workable retirement plan without a regular salaried job. Don’t let your attachment to your benefits stop you from starting a business.
- Don’t let fear control you.
- There’s no reason to spend a lot of money
when you start your business. Be practical.__________

As you grow your business, you’ll make mistakes. Forgive yourself. Then, read and re-read this chapter to avoid making more!
First of all, there’s nothing more disingenuous to me than a business that approaches you with a jab that really isn’t a jab. It’s not a give; it’s an ask. As you start your business, please be conscious of your jabbing. In the back of your mind, you must know that there is nothing coming your way from your give—and be okay with that.
Key Points from Chapter 7- Don’t disguise your right hooks as jabs.
- Don’t buy followers or worry about vanity
metrics.- Figure out the targeting of your website content—are you a B2B or a B2C brand?
- Have a generous mindset.

- Jab Till It Hurts - Chapter 6: All About that Jab
It would be impossible for me to say too much about jabbing. So, let’s do a whole chapter on it, shall we?
I’ve never felt like I give too much information for too little return when I’m jabbing because I don’t look for a return from everything I do. The return, to me, is often as simple as a person having a lightbulb moment and figuring something out— because I gave them an insight they didn’t have before.
Key Points from Chapter 6- There’s no such thing as too much jabbing.
- To create a memorable jab, connect with
your audience’s emotions.- Leverage the power of barter to jab more effectively.
- Partner with other businesses on events and cross-promotion to increase the organic reach of your brand.
- Make your jabs personal and creative to impress your valuable customers.
- The future of marketing is jabbing.

- My 34 Year Secret
It's a secret that's been weighing me down for 34 years.
Yes, you read that right, for 34-years I've hidden this from the world. No, I didn't hide it out of shame or embarrassment, I hid it because people are fast to judge, to form opinions about someone based on a slice of information from a point in time in that persons life. That is why I've kept this secret for so many years.
It didn't come to light because I felt a need to purge, to share it with the world, instead, it was during a deep conversation with a close friend, Pamela Hughes.
Pamela and I have been friends for nearly two decades and we've shared so much information with one another over the years that she was totally caught off guard when I opened up to her about it. In fact, she found out what my secret was almost 12-hours before my wife did.
OK, hang on a sec. Why on earth would I share a deep secret with a close friend before my wife? Context. The context of our conversation was around choices, difficult choices, choices that impact not only today, but tomorrow, and all the tomorrows after.
The clock was ticking... the cat was now out of the bag and I felt compelled to share this with my wife because in that moment I shared it with Pamela, I knew I had to share it with my fans, followers, and friends.
The weight of carrying a secret for so long has taken its toll on me too. Again, not because I am ashamed, but I simply didn't want to deal with the judgement.
It was the morning after my call and I was getting ready for my workday, Allison was doing her hair when the conversation began.

Don’t expect miracles when you start your business. There are going to be early setbacks. In fact, there are going to be setbacks throughout your business life, and I’m not talking about setbacks of, like, a day without sales. I’m talking about weeks or months when shit just goes stagnant.
When that happens, people tend to go on the defense. What they do is, they tend to stop doing all the things that brought them early success. They go in the opposite direction and they start right hooking or trying to sell, because they’re getting desperate, and desperation leads people to do stupid shit. Instead, embrace the setbacks and recognize that there are things you might have shifted or changed. Get back to the basics of doing what you did to launch your new business.
Key Points from Chapter 5
- There will be setbacks as you grow your business. Don’t freak out. Setbacks are natural. When they occur, focus on jabbing and doing the things that worked in the beginning.
- Suffocate the trolls by thanking them and then ignoring them.
- Remember, money cannot buy happiness.
- If you’re stuck in a dark, lonely place as an entrepreneur, reach out to a friend, or reach out to me. I understand how you are feeling and I want to help.
- Entrepreneurship is not all glamorous.
- As you grow your business and experience more successes, the highs will become higher and the lows will stay the same.

- Jab Till It Hurts - Chapter 4: Mentorship
I’ve already talked a lot about what a big difference Gary Vaynerchuk has made in my life and my business, but I wanted to devote a whole chapter to mentorship because it’s just that important.
Key Points from Chapter 4- Express gratitude to the people who have helped and inspire you. Don’t ask a potential mentor for help or investment. Just say thanks.
- Spend the money to attend conferences in your industry, and go with the express purpose of connecting with other people.
- Take a cue from Seth Godin and ask yourself, “What am I great at?”
- Be open to giving and receiving mentorship anywhere—even in the middle seat.
- Get specific about your mission and purpose, then figure out how to give value to people, whether it’s online or in your local community.

- Jab Till It Hurts - Chapter 3: Scaling
If Google made a roadmap for how to grow a business, that roadmap would be called Gary Vaynerchuk. I followed a roadmap laid out by Gary, doing exactly what he preaches every single time you hear him deliver a keynote, or you hear him talk about deploying this on Facebook, or deploying that on Instagram, YouTube. He built the map. I just followed it and hit the start button.
Key Points from Chapter 3- As you grow your business, surround yourself with good people who have the skills you lack. You’re a creative? Partner with an operations pro. You love operations? Partner with a creative.
- Giving value to people in Facebook Groups is a powerful way to do business development.
- Figure out which medium (video, audio, writing) you like the most when it comes to sharing value and telling your story.
- Spend a dollar a day promoting different pieces of content online and see what connects.

- Jab Till It Hurts - Chapter 2: Don’t Prepare, Just Do
It’s just unbelievable how many people have the desire, or say they have the desire to do something, yet their actions don’t map to their words. Open the door, step outside, and do it. Take the action first. It’s not going to happen on its own. Water does not boil unless you put the burner on and crank it. Looking at it won’t help. Getting ready won’t help. Until you turn it on, it ain’t gonna boil. Business is the same way.
To take a company from zero to the trajectory of seven figures to hopefully eight figures is a remarkable feat. But it’s not unachievable for you in your business. It is unachievable, however, if you don’t take Step One, which is starting.Key Points from Chapter 2- Stop preparing to start your business. Just start.
- It doesn’t take a lot of money to begin. Join Facebook Groups that cater to your market or passion and start sharing your knowledge and giving value to people.
- Build a simple Facebook page and website for your business; you can improve it later.
- Ask for help from those who know more than you.
- Don’t try to hide what you don’t know. Your customers want to go on a journey with you! Even your failures or mistakes are part of the story.
- There are millions and millions of people online at every moment—the opportunity is there. Stop thinking small!
