Right Biz for You Series (Part 7) Can you imagine how scary it might be to transition from a long career in athletics to one in a completely different industry about which you knew very little? Well, today's guest, Jeff Olinger, did it and did it well! Within a short period of time Jeff reached the top 10% level of his new organization, opened his own office, and currently is expanding his business. I am excited to present to you this interview in which Jeff tells us how he took the valuable experiences and skills he learned as a college basketball coach and transferred many of them effectively into the financial industry. While his is a story of transitioning from athletics to business, what we discuss applies to anyone moving from one industry to another. In this interview, you will hear practical applications of the fundamentals included in earlier episodes of this Right Biz for You Series, as well as tips and resources for continuing to grow a business once established. Jeff shares with us his stories about the importance of: Communication and connection with others - in all stages of business development, from researching a new industry to starting up a new field, to increasing success within that field Mentorship Putting vision, goals, and objectives to paper Dreaming BIG!
