“my best advice is do what you do with integrity. Be real, tell the truth, do what works not what you think is going to look good. If the truth is that what you are doing is not worth much then don’t charge much for it. If the truth is that what you are doing is worth a fortune then find a way to respectfully get the value that you are worth. In other words, raise prices, charge what you are worth and package yourself appropriately… truth is at the core of everything… The truth will set you free… that’s true and that’s what an entrepreneur needs. An entrepreneur needs feedback. It’s like in Bill Gates’s book ‘Business at the speed of thought’ he said bad news must travel fast. Well absolutely because as a business owner if there is bad news about my business I want to know it right now before it is too late to do anything about it”…[Listen for More]

“be smart but at the same time believe that it is possible. We live in a world, this hasn’t always been true whenever you look at the history of mankind, but today for most people in developed countries, and in certain instances even in developing economies, we live in a world where we can make our own rules, we live in a day and age where the resources on the opportunities are so widespread that even people who come from nothing can really create a life that they want. It is an incredible time to be alive and number one we should be grateful for that number two we should damn well not squander the opportunity”…[Listen for More]

“don’t just chase the money like you are ‘supposed to’. Don’t forget to chase the experience. There is nothing wrong with a lifestyle business…So I would challenge your listeners to do a ‘would you rather’ type of game. So in 10 years would you rather have done well in your business, say 10 million dollars in the bank but you totally had to slug through it, you had to work you 100 hour weeks, you missed you kids games, you gained some weight, you got some high blood pressure but you got 10 million dollars or would you rather have a life style business?”…[Listen for More]

“my best advice to other entrepreneurs is it is really important to love what you’re doing, and it doesn’t mean that you are going to love every moment of it or every single day but on average in my experience it is really important to believe and to know that there is some way that you are either making the world a better place or that you are working for something bigger than just the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow so to speak. Because in the long arc of a career, particularly as an entrepreneur even doing multiple different things I believe you have got to have it be about something bigger than just the money. And so my advice would be make sure that the thing that you choose is something that you are committed to, that you would be willing to stick with it longer than what you think because chances are you have an optimistic bias, as I know I have, and things likely do take longer than you thought they would originally”…[Listen for More]

Having been an entrepreneur for 30 years, Tom Jackobs has been through a few challenges. He's definitely had more failures than successes, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. He sold my fitness business which I owned for 9 years a year ago to start teaching other entrepreneurs how to use story to sell. He also quickly realized that most small business owners don’t follow up with their leads, so he started teaching them how to create follow up system so they could have a conversation to share their story and make more sales. With his degree in theatre he is able to help his clients create a performance out of their presentations so it’s not the same boring presentation audiences are unfortunately used to seeing. He's been a contributor to CBS Radio in Houston, a guest on Great Day Houston, Univision, Fox 26 News and The CW Houston. He's also a presenter at the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in Houston.

Get a mentor, get a coach and they will save you tons of wasted money and time to get your product or idea to market”…[Listen for More]

“I think the most important thing is to be resilient. First of all get started. There is a lot of folks who would like to be entrepreneurs and the thing that is keeping them from doing it is that there are always other things to do that are more pressing than actually start your company… We all have an opportunity to put ourselves in the circumstances where entrepreneurship is possible. And at the end of the day you don’t do that then you will never get there. You have to just take a leap and do it. Then when you have done that the journey of entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster and there are incredible days and there are terrible days. And every terrible day is a great day to quit. And the best way to not get end of the journey that you are shooting for is to quit somewhere along the way. So I think being resilient and building a support network so that you can make it through the hardest days, and that there are people around you and behind you who are egging you on so that on those hardest days you decide to keep going – think that is the most important thing that separates successful entrepreneurs from those who aren’t able to make it”…[Listen for More]
