Savvy Business, Life Unscripted

Our #SavvyBizTip today is brought to us by James Miller. He describes 4 categories of people in your life. In Social Psychology we teach that there's really only 1 out of 4 people who will support you unconditionally. The other 3 individuals, at different levels, won't support you.

If we correlate these same statistics for entrepreneurs and for people who are excited for a career or business change you'll find that only 1 out of 4 people will encourage and support you. This also relates to companies who may finance you or refer you to another company who can help fund you.

If you find that you are emotionally and mentally stuck focusing on the individuals and companies who aren't supporting, encouraging, or giving you the break you need, then realize that you are investing too much energy in those 3 categories. Unfortunately, you are never going to change their mind. Let those people go and focus on those who want to help you succeed in your business. www.JamesMillerLifeology.com

So in l995, he created his own adult men’s softball league, ABA Sports. The start-up company quickly grew to over 900 teams in just six years, making it the largest adult sports organization on Long Island.

In 2003, Frank sold ABA in order to create i9 Sports, a business that catapulted him to national recognition and that Entrepreneur magazine ranked as the #1 children’s fitness franchise. Frank has been featured on Fox Business News, HBO Real Sports, and in dozens of publications and national news media outlets, including USA Today, Sports Illustrated, and The Wall Street Journal.

Frank sold i9 Sports in 2017 to a private equity firm, but remains a minority shareholder and member of the board of directors.
