Ep. 141 - Prioritize Your Marriage and Your Business Will Prosper with David Meltzer
“Show me the money!” If you remember that phrase then you’re probably as old as I am. HaHa! That’s a quote from the movie, Jerry Maguire. The movie was about a fledgling sports agent played by Tom Cruise, who was trying to land a big name football star to kick start his career. Money and fame was the end goal for the athlete. Simply money was the end game for Cruise’s character.
This week’s guest, David Meltzer, was the CEO for the Leigh Steinberg Sports Marketing Agency the movie was based on. And like Tom Cruise’s character, David was all about the money. Until he lost it all.
Fortunately, before he went bankrupt, he re-committed his life to prioritize family and relationships over money. Thank God he did because it was the support of his wife, family and closest friends that allowed him to re-make himself and career to become even better than he was the first time around.
Except this time, he’s redefined success and has a motto, “make a lot of money, help a lot of people, and have fun.” As he shares in this interview, you can prioritize relationships and still make a S_it load of money.
So before you go on with life prioritizing your business, take a listen to this ultra successful entrepreneur tell it like it is. You won’t regret it.
