“If it’s your goal in life to only do what’s required of you, then you aren’t going to be very successful. Life is about going over and above. The ones who succeed are the ones who work harder, do more, and are more grateful.”
Founder & CEO
I help consumers get affordable and reliable warranties for all of their electronic devices.
I spend most of my time in a lot of meetings with the team. My main focus has been on growing the company, dealing with operations, and financials. I enjoy being an evangelist for our company and our mission, so I talk to customers and businesses to tell them about what we are doing and how we can help them. Growth is always a challenge, so in order for me to continue talking to investors and getting our name out there, we have started hiring more people to take on the growing workload.
Grit and perseverance. Be willing to go the extra mile and do whatever it takes to succeed. No matter what your job title is, help out where you are needed, do more, and be grateful. Be your authentic self and build your confidence. There is also value in being vulnerable, showing that, and finding people who can support you.
Here's the first step for everyone
Reach out! Connect with the people around you or to the people doing the work you want to do. Ask questions. Surround yourself with positive people who will support you. Shed the negativity.
