As an entrepreneur you're often times cursed with just having to figure things out the hard way, and there's no shame in that. I can assure you it pays off if you stay the course, persevere through the trying times, and focus on the prize. There's a lot of things I've been able to pull off in the last 15 years, but I believe the best is yet to come with the company that I've stayed the course the longest with, Zipwhip. A favorite quote of mine summarizes my worldview the best, "Some men see things as they are and ask why; others see things that never were and ask why not." - George Bernard Shaw Specialties: marketing, sales, executive management, branding, corporate communication, value innovation, strategic partnerships, software design, social media, raising capital
