College Works Career Impact
In one sentence, what has CW meant to you?
Most of everything I learned about business came from what I learned at College Works Painting and the things I did while I was working there.
How did your CW experience impact your career? Immediately after graduation? Now?
I joined the Entrepreneur’s Organization, which is one of the largest groups of Entrepreneurs around the globe because of College Works Painting. From there I met the contacts who I started my current company with.
What do you want to tell your clients about what it meant to work with them and how it has helped you get to where you are today?
My clients helped me create great confidence. Thank you for that.
What was the greatest lesson you learned from your CW experience?
Do the things that most people aren’t willing to do, that’s where you’ll find gold. Your experience will get you much further than your education. I did great in school, primarily because it’s what you are suppose to do. My success today is much more dependent on factors outside of my school then the classes I took.
How have the friendships and networks you built during CW affected you?
Life long friends.
If you had to come up with a one line slogan for CW, what would it be?
Work hard, play hard.
Advice
What advice do you have for potential CW participants? Current CW participants?
Work hard, and just be #1. Life is full of people who commit to something and then switch to something else mid-way, and repeat this cycle over and over again. Less people commit to something and REGARDLESS of how they feel, figure out a way to be #1. These are the winners in every single aspect of life.
What’s your favorite memory from CW?
Cancun, all the years.
