There is a big difference between what you learn in business school, and what you need to know in the real world – just ask any startup founder or business owner! My goal is to focus on the real-world aspects of business, giving practical tips and tricks that are not usually covered in school.

This channel is a platform to help entrepreneurs and business owners succeed. It is also to help the world at large to be more effective and successful. The world can certainly use more inspiring leaders, more successful entrepreneurs, and more capable managers - that is what I would like to help bring about.

Who Am I?
I am a practicing management consultant, former CEO, and entrepreneur. I have led many businesses to success, as well as several startups. Among other things, I have a master's degree in finance.

I have worked across five industries, and have worked in both large enterprise and small businesses. In the last five years, I have also been mentoring startup founders and teaching business at a post-graduate level.

Why I Want To Involve My Community:
The only way this channel will succeed is with YOUR help. In order to know how best to proceed, I need constant feedback from YOU. What topics should I cover? What challenges are you facing? What questions do you have? What changes should I make?

Please contact me with questions, and I will try my best to help. Best of luck!

Why I Need Your Help:
It is also very important to me that this channel be financially independent, and not be sustained by corporate sponsors. That way, I can be objective and honest, without having to serve interested parties, or disguise promotions as “advice”. My professional reputation is very important to me. I will invest the money raised back into the video making process. Your support will allow me to continue producing videos on a regular basis, and with increasing quality and usefulness.

Thank you for being here and reading this, and have yourself an amazing day!

Have you ever been asked this?
Have you had any good or bad experiences answering it?

In one job interview, because that was the very first question, the interviewer (unintentionally) revealed to me that working for her would be stressful, and it was. My answer was, "Every night when I go home, the first thing I do is take my little dog for a walk and tell him about my day." I got the job, but I knew I was only going to stay at this job long enough to find another one. And over the course of my brief employment there, I found out that this executive was famous for going through admins very quickly. Important point: When they are interviewing you, you are also interviewing them.

I like it. I think I would go as far to say, “I handle stress very well, but in the event when it’s unavoidable I tend to focus on team communication in the workplace.”

[arundivakar]

Where were you in the past years? Just found the right guy👌🏻

[telbor]

I'm not looking for a job, but the algorithm suggested your videos to me. Short, brief, helpful and straight to the point. I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy your content very much sir!

[Roughpaws_Studio]

Personally I've always said that I always keep a clear head and NEVER panic. Doesn't matter what sort of stress you're under - could be working behind a bar and have a customer threaten you or working to a deadline in an office. Once you start to panic you've lost, and sometimes (like in that first case I've just mentioned) it could end up with you getting injured or worse. To quote the late great Douglas Adams - DON'T PANIC.

I’ve always said “I find a lot of stress is avoidable through planning and preparation. How ever if I find myself in a difficult or stressful situation I tend to handle it calmly and throughly. “

[Vibesbypeach]

I love how you don’t recommend all the fluff! Very realistic answers!

[dungbongbang]

[tendaimoyo]

Thank you so much for this response. Had an interview last week, they asked me this question. Answered it exactly as you said it, "I handle it well". Then they pressed for more. Responded for with the second part. It worked brilliantly and they moved on. They also asked me a whole bunch of questions and your responses were so invaluable to me. Passed the interview.

I came back here to thank you. I used so many of the tips, tricks, and strategies from your videos and landed my first 6 figure position. Had the job stress question and used the simple I handle stress very well answer. Felt so good when they moved onto the next question. The next question was tell us about a stressful time at your last position, but it all worked out. Fantastic content that is real and works. Thank you.
