Starting a business is something that, technically, almost anyone can do. The difference between the type of business we build is on the goals we pursue, what we want to achieve, and how. 


In today's episode, we chat with Mick Bigwood Jr., owner and operator at Bigwood's Custom Painting. He has a BS in Sports Management from the Delaware Valley University and a Masters in Sports Administration from Canisius College. He worked as a Business Manager of the Baseball All-Star Academy, and he coached the South Jersey Warriors baseball team for four years. 


We talked about his life before deciding to invest his time and effort in his family business and why he chose it. We also talked about the teachings he got along the way and helped him create the successful business he runs and why attitude and mentality are essential to growing a healthy business.
