Parting Advice

An entrepreneur’s life has to be a marathon, it can’t be a sprint.

@johnleedumas

Spend time on introspection.  Ask yourself

  • What am I passionate about?
  • What do I love doing?

Then write those things down.

Analyze the list and determine which of those things can become a viable business.

Chris LoCurto: You May Do Things You Hate to Get to a Better Place

by

“Formerly one of Dave Ramsey’s key leaders over 12 years, Chris served as the Vice President of Live Events. He oversaw The Total Money Makeover LIVE!, a concert-like show on personal finances, helped it grow in attendance from 1,600 to 11,000 per event. His team of event coordinators, marketers, and sales staff more than tripled during that time.

Together, Chris and Dave developed and built EntreLeadership from their shared experiences. Through their close relationship and Dave’s personal council, Chris has not only become an expert in teaching the EntreLeadership principles, but has lived and implemented them daily.

Chris has now taken over 12 years of experience and is working with businesses one-on-one to help them grow in all areas.

A native of Lake Tahoe, California, Chris has been married to his wife Debbie for 13 years. His personal passion is continuous improvement – personally and professionally – in any endeavor. He is a Formula Race Car driver and skier. Chris and Debbie now make their home in the rolling hills of Nashville, Tennessee.”

This interview is done by HTYC’s Director of Happen-ings, Mark Sieverkropp.  Mark and Chris talk about personality styles and how to work towards doing work that you are passionate about…

You may do things you hate, to get to a better place.

I think the clarity and accountability I got from my coach was super important in this process. Sometimes people don't have the discipline, not because they're not diligent or hard working. It's because they're afraid.  It's because they're scared. You know, they also don't know what to do. I think with the accountability from my coaches, especially like, my coach can just lay down, okay, now, after this call, you need to do 123. So that was specific, right. And that was an even like, you need to do this by this time of this week. So I got to do it. You know, it's very clear. I think the clarity and accountability I got from my coach was super important in this process. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there even if you feel under qualified or not the right fit because you might sit down and they might say I know you applied for this but what do you think about this and it could be something you totally love.”

Sylvia Guo, Research Director, United States/Canada

Get the Full Backstory

I really was able to get clear on what I what it is that I really wanted. In my future career, I was able to change my mindset and my perception of what I thought was possible, which was a really big one for me, because prior to this, I really, I think I limited my myself and my potential, simply because of where I was at currently. And so I was able to think bigger, and really hone in on, you know, where my skills are, where I want to take them and how I'm going to get there. And it really just empowered me to take change, and it gave me the confidence and conviction, I needed to take those steps. So yeah, it was it was really a great a great one.

Nicole Mathessen, Manager Marketing & Creative Services, United States/Canada

I think what helped me the most was focusing on my strengths and the connections that this process, the whole happened here, the career change bootcamp, those connections that basically you're prompted to go reconnect with people right? So, that helped me the most because the roller coaster that I was on with the role that I was in that I was trying to exit from, again, it realizing that people had a positive view of me and that they saw things that maybe I didn't see in myself really helped me articulate who I already was and who I wanted to be in my next role, if that makes sense.
