Favorite Moments and Takeaways
- If you think you’re an underdog, you’re probably not alone. Embrace it. While creating this book, we realized that everyone, even people you don’t think have problems, think they are underdogs. But, if we’re willing to own that side of us, it is extremely powerful, and that’s what Jayson has done. He grew up in a trailer park and had a tough early life. Through the pain and struggle, he learned resilience, sales, and business. These skills have helped him succeed. Working with Jayson, I recognized how my childhood growing up in a small town in a family with financial struggles helped me build great character traits that are to be embraced.
- BAM! Own who you are and be bold about. Stand for something and make shit happen. Jayson is all about BAM, a state to live from and an acronym you can use to empower yourself. Embracing the BAM mindset and way of being is about being a leader. It originally stood for Build a Movement, which Jayson believes in, which also resonated with us and is something we’ve taken from our experience working together.
- Take the stairs, not the elevator. In the book, there is a chapter on this principle. We constantly remind ourselves in business to take the next step instead of acting on impatience and looking for quick fixes or cutting corners.
