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

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.

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.

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.
