De: Jeff Hays

Finally, a user’s guide for people with entrepreneurial brains and those they work and live with.

When your biggest superpower is also your most critical weakness, it helps to have a manual on how to control it. Entrepreneurs are creative, bold thinkers and risk-takers capable of great accomplishments. At the same time, for every success story, there is a counter story of an epic collapse caused by a lack of a moral compass, values, or proper guidance. Jeff Hays knows the highs and the lows having ridden that rollercoaster many times in his life and career and provides a much-needed user’s manual for entrepreneurs everywhere and the people in their work and personal lives.

• Gain insights into the mindset entrepreneurs need to develop in order to survive. And when Hays says survive, he means it: Your money, your relationships, your sanity, and even your life are at stake if you don’t come to understand why you are the way you are, and how to manage it.
• Learn specific business tools to enjoy even more success than you’ve imagined. From real-world step by step instruction in how to raise money for your venture, to how to build a build an email list and market to that list, Hays shares hard won experience that isn’t taught in any theoretical school.
• Increase your perspective on the common pitfalls you need to avoid. Hays has learned the pitfalls the hard way, letting his entrepreneurial brain drive him off a cliff over and over again. Failure has been one of his greatest teachers, showing him how to work with his brain and how to work with others.
• Access the wisdom and insights of mentors and other leaders. Throughout this groundbreaking book, Hays shares the transformational wisdom he learned from his own mentor along with insights and perspectives from a variety of industry leaders and influencers to help you experience all of the ups, and more, while protecting yourself against some of the downs.

Jeff Reveals The Mystery Wrapped In An Enigma

“If you develop the mentality to do what needs to be done 100% of the time, you’ll do it at the right time” – JEFF HAYS, ENTREPRENEURIAL BRAIN

Jeff is a master storyteller, weaving practical, time-tested techniques and agile thinking to help explain the meta-modern entrepreneurial brain. Every book in the past few years I’ve come across on marketing, sales, and entrepreneurship touts “don’t make the mistakes I’ve made”, “let me save you x-amount of dollars.” But I’ve often found the examples a bit trite or novel. Their “lessons learned” come down to a lack of common sense, and most follow the same formula to “success.”

Jeff stand out from the pack, pulling from a deep, ancient wisdom of running a company from start up to <fill in the blank>. And that’s the beauty of entrepreneurship, every business is an unwritten story with near escapes, abundant spoils, and tragic defeats. The Entrepreneurial Brain is filled with it all, even the bumps and bruises, and Jeff takes full responsibility for his mistakes and comes out bandaging his wounds to fight another day, ultimately finding a state of flow. I believe that’s precisely what everyone is looking for.

The brain of an entrepreneur is probably the biggest mystery in the universe, at least to humans. It has the potential to make or break a society. It’s unfortunate when unfettered capitalism destroys lives, on the flip side it is the highest good when an open market provides creativity and a better way of life. Jeff unlocks the mystery of the entrepreneurial brain and I only hope more entrepreneurs read this book and come away “to do what needs to be done 100% of the time.”
