Are you planning to start a business but having trouble getting the right ideas, inspiration, and tools to embrace change? Look no further because today on Live on Bottleneck, we have Ana Kertesz, the Founder, and CEO of HOWto.Liveit. She talks about how you can turn your passion into a thriving business.
Transitioning From Corporate
Moving from traditional business and starting out on your own business can be very challenging for new entrepreneurs. Most of these new entrepreneurs have adopted the behavior of being in a corporate environment. Ana points out in this episode one of the main challenges starting entrepreneurs face when transiting from the corporate world.
“The main challenge people face when transiting from the corporate world is they’re used to asking permission and validating their ideas. They have to be aware of that ‘recreate yourself’ ‘I’m building a brand.‘ So that’s the first one. The second is you, don’t ask for permission and validation. Get out there and try. That’s what entrepreneurship is about.” – Ana Kertesz
Starting the Business
Ana discusses how her company helps new entrepreneurs. They make things easier and shorter for businesses, allowing them to save time and money. She stresses the importance of organizing and planning for the required procedures and leveraging on vetted expertise from entrepreneurs and experts when starting their business.
“What we’re creating is how to do different things, how to launch a business, how to fund a business, how to find a good problem to solve we’ve mapped out the very large number of decisions that entrepreneurs need to make and we’re creating the answers for these questions to save people time and money when they’re looking to start a business.” – Ana Kertesz
Knowledge can make a difference
Entrepreneurship right now is on an all-time low. Most aspiring entrepreneurs feel scared going out on their own and taking that first step due to the lack of knowledge. Ana shares with us her knowledge of how people wanting to turn their passion into a thriving business can make a difference.
“Learn from the best — what are the types of businesses that are recession-proof? The types of businesses that need less of an investment to start? What are the best practices to follow and learn how to find a very specific niche to start the best setup you can get to have a profitable business that is recession-proof with minimum capital investment.” – Ana Kertesz

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.

We are not scam, clients surely get more than what they pay for. Being part of this team helped me hone my skills and become excellent in all my works.
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.

GM Simon2022-09-08Working with Bottleneck is not just having one or two assistants working alongside you. You have the support of the whole team behind them as well.
Ma. Edeliza Silot2022-09-07Aside from the knowledge gained, the trainers are highly commendable.
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!
