“I think the most important thing in any turning point or any time that you’re going through a crisis is to feel it and recognize it. No, it’s not fun, it’s painful. But actually feel it in your body and let it move through, and then from there, you can start to problem-solve. If you deny it or you say it’s not really happening, it’s just going to come back and bite you all over again.”  – Patricia Raskin

He is blessed to say he’s now an actual entrepreneur, not a wantrepreneur, and lives life (mostly) on his terms.

After hustlin’ to the brink of burnout with his tech-startup in NYC, he is now much more interested in Lifestyle Entrepreneurship and focuses on maximum productivity in minimum time spent working so he can go fly fishing more.

 

“You can have your cake and eat it, too. Don’t believe the entrepreneurial myth that you have to grind your face off and sacrifice your faith, your family, your fitness, your fun, for profits and success. Stop sacrificing and really start living that life of passion, purpose, and positive impact.”  – Cary Jack
