Favorite Quotes:
“If you get a sliver of the big piece of pie, you’re doing well. You’re doing really well. But here’s one of the secrets to why I can sell this product to so many people, because I believe in it at such a high level and our employees believe in it at such a high level, where that energy transfers to anyone who works with us.”
“Everytime that we blow something up, there’s something called “The Dip.” Every single time. Every single time. The dip is what I wait for now when I know we’re going to take it to the next level. Most people don’t realize this, but every business, everything they launch, every online project, when you put it out there, you’re going to meet your biggest failure. And that’s going to be a dip and most people walk away and give up. When that happens to me, I know that my biggest success is right around the corner.
In fact I have a trampoline in my office. I left it with my assistant when I left Ohio as a reminder that as you jumped on it, that little dip, that when you dip down, that is the momentum you need to go higher.”

In 2000 he started a single-family home construction business and by 2008 he was looking for his next big thing. Jeff founded the Blue Sky Benefit Solutions insurance agency on top of a lifelong passion for helping people. Through this show, Jeff will take that passion one step further.
