Early on in his Mentoring Journey, Jay was taught a very important statement; You either have to be first; or you have to be different   Jay highlights the trends and anecdotal experience he has and how it supports this statement; This is as true now as it was when he first heard it. In his training business, Jay knew he wasn’t first; there were many other businesses like his business, with similar or adjacent offerings. But Jay recalled the statement and he made sure he was not only different but different first.   Jay’s example was being innovative; finding a need and starting a service that no one was really doing (24-hour response calls). Jay made sure it was something he could consistently deliver and it was something he could fulfil (Jay knew he personally could manage this and his staff and business were more committed than the bigger businesses). As Jay scaled his business, he made sure he got the resources to back this as it grew (and watched the competition scramble to copy). &

Jay has a great philosophy about how to get things done when you face any challenging situation in business. The flight and fight mode of thinking is a powerful tool that Jay shares with his mentees and it has proven successful across many different challenges.  During the day as entrepreneurs, you are constantly thinking and it is these thought processes that put you in either flight or fight mode.  Fight mode is not positive and will not enable you to find the solution you need to move forward but if you get yourself into flight mode you are being business savvy and will be able to think creatively, find a solution and move forward.     KEY TAKEAWAYS  In any situation, you have to make a conscious choice about whether you respond in a fight or flight mode.  Fight mode is when you are tense – looking at problems, thinking that the world is against me. It’s my fault, their fault you don’t take responsibility  Flight mode is when you frame your thinking i

In tribute to Kobe Bryant, who has recent passed away in a tragic accident, Jay covers 10 life lessons that Kobe has inspired Jay to implement into his life to improve personally and professionally.     KEY TAKEAWAYS  Always have a winning mentality because if you’re telling yourself that you’re going to loose, it’s more than likely that you’re going to loose.  Keep learning, improving and paying attention because you’ve got to keep studying your craft.  Work hard. If you follow Kobe’s story, one thing he always stood by was working hard. He practised the same shot over and over again.  Live through pain, don’t let it defeat you. Have he right mind-set to go through the pain to get that result you wanted.  Huge success only comes with huge sacrifice. Dedication and sacrificing all comes along with business too and it’s something we all will have to do.  Never admit defeat. If you’re defeated in
