Steve Caldwell
Jaime Jay welcomes Steve Caldwell. Learning from successes and failures developed his self-awareness. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses are essential to building a successful business.
“8 out of 10 people showing up just to collect a paycheck is just a waste of talent and resource. You can go to ManagerMojo.com or MojoUniversity.com to advance your career and understand what you are really doing.” – Steve Caldwell
The Importance of Leadership Teams
Steve specializes in management and leadership training. He helps businesses place the right people in the right jobs. He also helps them build successful leadership teams.
“Building a leadership team is one of the most difficult things you will ever do in business, but it’s essential if you are going to be successful.” – Steve Caldwell
In business, creating something profitable is not the only thing that matters. You can also find joy in working with your team. Steve loves to help businesses in this aspect for them to avoid pitfalls.
Self-Awareness as Key
Recognizing that you need help is also important. It can be pretty easy to step out and do things on your own. But according to Steve, it won’t be long until you realize that you can’t get it all done.
“The fact that you are not tripping over means that you are a risk taker. But you are never going to grow and scale if you are the only person that’s doing all the work.” – Steve Caldwell
It is one thing to work in your business and another thing to work on it. Developing a plan that will work is essential.
From Worker to Owner
Steve shares that every person has his own set of limitations and thought process. And we have to be aware of that ourselves. He learned that most people don’t know their strengths.
“When you see those things that you do very well yourself, you are also going to have a list of things that you are not particularly good at.” – Steve Caldwell
People who are not like you will complement your strengths and overcome your weaknesses. Everyone, including business owners, has to be honest with himself. Doing so will take you from working in your businesses to actually owning it.

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.
