What is Your Legacy? | John Murphy

A

As we live through these harsh times due to the current pandemic, many of us might have reached a point in our lives where we ask, “what kind of legacy would I leave behind?”

Join us today as we speak with John Murphy, CEO, and Founder of John Murphy International. We talk about how we, as business entities, can make a difference in people’s lives.

Challenge For Leaders

John discusses with us the new challenges the current state of our world is in. He points out the different sectors of society that are affected by these new changes and what we should look for new aspiring leaders. Leaders are now looking to create their own legacy in trying to make a difference in people’s lives.

“Now it’s a very different world that people are operating in and the challenge that leaders have is that people are looking for value-based leaders. If we look across the political world, the business world, even the religious worlds the pillars of society and leadership that were there have evaporated and people are saying that it’s very self-serving.” – John Murphy

Engagement With Your Team

John explains with us the importance of engaging with the team and not just having a transactional relationship with them. He points out the difference of ‘working on your business and working in it’ wherein leaders need to be on the trenches working with the team. This is crucial for the legacy that you’re trying to build.

“Leaders must engage and understand what success looks like for their people. It’s not just one style of leading and managing. They’ve got to adapt to the personal style it’s your job to optimize the potential of the people that you’re in charge of and really value, respect, and honor them. That is your road to growing the potential of the people.” – John Murphy

Life of Significance

John talks about the significance of what legacy you want to leave behind and to whom you want to leave it. He encourages people to ask themselves how you can make a change for those people, especially during these challenging times.

“We need to have done something with our lives that have made a difference. The people that you love, the people that you care for, the people that you’ve been entrusted within your career — what difference have you made to their lives? That’s the question we need to ask ourselves and find as a kind of the pathway for the journey that we all embrace.” – John Murphy

Jaime Jay

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!

Working 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.

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!
