Funding a Great Cause
Ravinol founded Be Inspired Films, a company that creates powerful videos. They serve to tell stories for people and organizations who are trying to make a difference in the world. Together with his team, Ravinol makes videos, animations, and live steaming for charities, foundations, universities, health and social enterprises as well as for big companies.
I wasn’t really thinking in anyway that I was going to be a filmmaker; I was just purely thinking practically that this is a way to share our work.” –Ravinol Chambers
Ravinol used to be a project manager and fundraiser for different charities. He lived in Africa in 1995-1996. He was doing a project for some street kids that time. To keep it running, he knew he needed to raise awareness and funds. That’s when he decided to create a film.
Off a Good Start
In 2003, Ravinol ran programs for young people who seemed at risk of getting excluded from education. He had mentoring programs to get business people to become positive role models. For this, he used video as a powerful tool to get more funding.
After getting an MBA years later, Ravinol set about to thinking what to do next. He remembered the power of videos and wanted to make a difference in the world. From these ideas, he started Be Inspired Films.
Lessons in Business
During the early stages of his business, Ravinol shares that he was advised to: do great work, be visible, and get paid. He understood the significance of getting seen in his market place. For this, he made strategic partnerships with people through whom he’d gain visibility.
At a certain point, you gotta know that you’re gonna be aiming towards that [getting paid].” –Ravinol Chambers
Ravinol was very ambitious about starting his business. He always want to give his best at all times. He discusses the significance of time and the fact that you don’t go to the next level right away.

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.

Rockwell Felder2023-03-15I 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.

Jeff Peñaflor2022-09-14I 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!
Tinoe D2022-09-09I don't remember the last time I loved what I was doing until Bottleneck came into the picture. I love working for bottleneck, they are professional. The management makes the workplace fun and they're very flexible. I definetly recommend that you make that important switch and be part of something big today by joining BNDA.

Sara Knox2022-09-07What 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!
