Listen in as Jerry shares his story of triumph, keys to focusing on your own programming, and hear valuable advice for success.

• Put yourself around people you want to be like. Don’t be intimidated by their success, be inspired by it, and learn from it.
• You have to program your life for yourself. For example, on an iPad, you only have so much storage, so you choose the apps that mean something to you. You delete what you don’t use and back up the programs that you use everyday. Your iPad mirrors you. It wouldn’t be helpful to have someone else’s, you need your own programs. Life is the same.

Today on Baring it All, I'm talking to Janet Kraus, Co-Founder and CEO of Peach. Janet reminds us that our professional life should bring us joy.  

In this episode, Janet explains that there is more than one way to become successful. When you have the entrepreneurial spirit, it may not be necessary to go to college and get a job. Growing up, Janet didn't have access to other ways of thinking. Instead, Janet focused on finding ways to express her strengths; however, she was being offered jobs that were never catering to her passions. As entrepreneurs, you make deliberate choices and decisions – everything is risky. In fact, having a "regular" job can be riskier. All in all, it’s critical to follow your passions whether that be entrepreneurship or finding a corporate gig. Stay tuned as we talk about reinventing ourselves after fifty, and Janet gives the scoop on her entrepreneurial journey.
