Struggling with Success

Angus has spoken at headquarters for Coca-Cola, Adobe and Wal-Mart. He’s been incredibly successful but it’s not something he is comfortable with. Growing up in the Midwest, there was always a negative connotation that went along with dropping names and flaunting success.

This false pride has taken him over 40 years to overcome. It was no longer something that puffed him up. Instead, it gave him credibility with others that he is opening up a doorway to your head and to your heart for him to speak of something with depth, quality and quantity.

Angus Nelson – Life Expectations Journey

Angus began at bible college with a degree in youth ministry. In his late 20’s he moved into non-profits. By his early 30’s, he was in the constant struggle to keep his non-profit afloat. He was working 60-70-80 hour work weeks. The stress caused rifts within his marriage. Angus turned to alcohol, pornography and other sexual encounters.

Angus loses everything and is broken. For three years Angus struggled until he discovered grace.

Life Moving Forward

Angus Nelson - Life ExpectationsAngus relocated to Alabama and enrolled in school. Angus began to experience healing and wholeness within himself. He discovered that so much of what he had done was based upon self sabotage.

Angus Nelson was challenged by his wife to write a book.  He wrote about his dark times and everything that he learned along the way.

Publishers didn’t want his book. Angus self-published and through necessity learned about marketing. This put him in the world of social marketing which led him to his current path.

About Jaime Jay

Meet Jaime Jay – a man who wears many hats, and wears them all admirably. He's a master connector, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and a published author who knows how to get things done.

Before he found his way to the business world, Jaime served his country as a brave paratrooper in the U.S. Army. But that's just the beginning of his many accomplishments.

He's the founder of the renowned Bottleneck Distant Assistant Services firm, and his book "Quit Repeating Yourself" has become a must-read for entrepreneurs everywhere.

When he's not busy building his empire, you can find him on his beloved Harley Davidson, cruising through the countryside and taking in the invigorating effects of Uitwaaien – a Dutch practice that involves facing the wind to boost health and relieve stress.

He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.

He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.

I cannot thank the team at Bottleneck enough for their incredible support of our business. Their team has played a vital role in helping us staff our customer support and ensuring our customers were satisfied with our services. Their Distant Assistants were extremely helpful in answering inquiries promptly, handling complaints, and providing solutions to our customers' needs. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and communication skills are exceptional. Working with Bottleneck has been a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend their services to anyone needing a reliable and efficient virtual assistant, especially for customer support.

I started last March 24, 2021 as a Dedicated Distant Assistant and it was an awesome experience. In this new journey, as Security Administrator of Bottleneck Distant Assistants, I have been supported by the team, A LOT !!!! All help that I need, the whole team is there to support me. I know that there are a lot of room for improvements with my skills and what I know, but because of BNDA, I became equipped with all the weapons I need to conquer the daily challenges especially with my tasks. With BNDA, they will not just help you to aim high, but soar the skies!

What an awesome business! Finally, a way to hire the RIGHT person for my administrative tasks and they are remote! No office space to consider, W2's, 1099's or payroll. Jaime and his team of remote workers are top-notch! I hired my first assistant in May. I recently suffered a motorcycle accident and it left me unable to work for 2 weeks. But my assistant stepped right in to guide our CEO on all matters financial. It’s so nice to have that stress eliminated from my life!
