\\u201cGreat business is team driven, it\\u2019s about getting the right people around you, just like with football.\\u201d

Everyone is drawn to stories of success and perseverance by athletes on the field, but I appreciate them even more if they continue that success off the field once an athlete has left his or her game. My guest today is J.R. Tolver, former NFL wide receiver and entrepreneur, who prepared himself for his life after football while he was still playing, and is a fantastic role model for athletes and non-athletes.

\\u201cI think the thing that prevents athletes from being successful in their next step is not being aware of all of the things that go into making them successful where they are now.\\u201d

J.R.\\u2019s path to where he is now has winded through a variety of places, including San Diego, Miami, Dallas, and Calgary, and through a few ventures, including companies he started within waste management and owning his own insurance practice, and he has cultivated many lessons along the way. We share many of those with you, including guidance for athletes still playing, and some clear pointers on a basic money management you need to follow!

\\u201cBusiness gives me a chance to leverage my background and some of my big wins and big losses, not only in business but in life in general, and to stop people from making some mistakes that I made... or some things that they don\\u2019t see coming that I can see coming.\\u201d

Many thanks to J.R. for being on my podcast, as we covered such a wide array of topics surrounding starting a business, making smart decisions, and how to position yourself for success for years to come, and this episode is for anyone at a crossroads, trying to decide if you should take the plunge into the often turbulent waters of entrepreneurship. I am sure this will be an episode you\\u2019ll want to listen to until the very end. Happy listening!

\\u201cBusiness is all about your experiences, how you bring your experiences to a product or to a service. At the end of the day a business is just a group of people chasing a purpose. \\u201d

\\u201cMoney will come and go if you let it, it will stay and grow if you systematize it.\\u201d
