To our gustes today, Joel Capperella, startup success takes many different factors, and he is an expert at bringing those factors together like magic. Lets start with one fact.... he is a man who can beat me hands down in one key area of his life. He is the father of eight children! Yes, eight…even more than I have wrapped up in my fatherly grip. But what makes this guy even more remarkable is when he makes decision, he goes for it big-time, such as quitting his corporate job to finally chase his dream of entrepreneurship as soon as his twins were born.   Yes, at that time when most people would just get their heads down and think “I can’t take a risk like this now” he was throwing it all up into the air and flexing the old hustle muscle. However as he says “Out of the gate it didn’t really work out very well, and the entire first year was more or less a wash.  I pivoted early in ’16 and am still at it, gaining traction and more revenue daily.  Is it risky?  Hell yes.  Could I wake up on the other side of this and look at my self in the mirror as if arising from a bad dream asking myself “My God, What have I done”, perhaps.  But those risks pale in comparison to looking back on my professional life and holding the regret of never trying.   What I have found since being on my own is that you never really truly know what it is going to be like until you are in it, and that the most difficult things you’ll face are hidden in the details of the fact that you are solely responsible for your own success or failure. “ But he is getting there, and now spends his time helping people in business tell a bigger story that gets them more awareness and speeds up their sales process.  He builds up the confidence to talk to more people. . . get more business, and find ways for his clients to sell more products and services without hard sell techniques.   So why did he take such a bold risk when he kids were born, and was this one that he would go back in time and change? And is there a key element to building success that he can see so clearly now, but was 100% hidden to him at the start?
