When You Just Can't Work for Anyone Else | Jeremy Neilson

Today we’re speaking with my good friend Jeremy. He’s a business leader, an entrepreneur, and he actually graduated from the same college that I did. Jeremy is the CEO and founder of Assure and fits the mold of being an entrepreneur so well that through the ups and downs, he teaches us just how to hold strong through our own business ideas. Jeremy went from one thing to the next and things weren’t very stable for a while, which was hard for his wife. He couldn’t stomach working for someone else and by the time he decided to just do his own thing, his wife was exhausted from everything and was very supportive of him going this route. They have a big vision for where they want to take the company. “Don’t get too caught up in the struggles of right now.” The struggles we experience as leaders are most likely just quick things that won’t affect the long term. Don’t get blinded by failure. Get the car restarted and try again and tackle every issue one at a time. “Once you solve this, you’re just going to run into more hard things.”

“I want to come up with the ideas, I want to come up with the culture, I want to come up the cadence and the KPIs, and the ideas and everything like that. That’s just who I am and when somebody else tells me what to do, I just can’t do it.” 7:18
