I’ve always loved to race. First swimming, then bikes, then cars – if it can go fast, then I want to make it go faster.Understanding who I am in racing is central to understanding who I am in business. For me the pinnacle is cars - I've always been infatuated with them - the power, the speed, the design. My mom was a chemist for Porsche many years ago, so in my case I think it might be genetic! After I sold my first company I started buying cars, and then I started racing cars. Being competitive on the track is nearly identical with the things that light me up about building a great business. It probably also explains why I obsess about both.Here is why I think these similarities are incredibly important in business:The will to win is a HUGE differentiator. A strong will to sell and deliver value outclasses a marginally (or even materially) superior offering 80% of the time. That same mentality all but guarantees that becoming "best-in-class" is only a matter of time.A great race strategy is VITAL to success and should be given lots of attention before you get to the track. Once the flag drops speed of thought, creativity, action, and reaction in running the race will lead you to the win. Every meeting, every product, every company journey is exactly the same.Business and racing are team sports. If you are going to be competitive you MUST have an effective team behind you. Yes, driving the car or leading the company is fun and all, but having experts in the critical disciplines and letting them do their job is crucial. Trust = Wins.Finally, knowing the track is key. Listening to people who have run the track, know the nuances and can help you navigate and make decisions during the fight is an irreplaceable asset. In building a new company, reaction and execution times are everything. The competition of business and of racing are central to who I am. Having a wall full of trophies and plaques is a great thing. And the truth is that the REAL reason to go racing, or to build a great business, is the race itself! These elements are what I bring to each and every company and team that I work with, and driving the business outcomes and the culture are why I get up in the morning.

A group of business leaders and academicians met in the spring of 1984 to accelerate the successful development of the entrepreneurial community in the State of Florida. A survey revealed that most entrepreneurs had sound technical expertise but many needed assistance in the areas of management, marketing and finance. The result of that meeting was an advisory and support program called The Florida Venture Forum. The goal of the Forum is to help ensure the success of entrepreneurial ventures by offering expert counsel, educational advice and managerial assistance. The Florida Venture Forum is a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization that is supported locally by private companies, service providers, venture capitalists and academic institutions. The Florida Venture Forum provides programs on a statewide basis attended by venture capitalists, investors, bankers, corporate executives, accountants, lawyers and entrepreneurs.
