How To Have A Profitable Business Without Hiding Parts Of Yourself

is frequently described as “inspirational,
current and relevant.” Jeffrey’s work centers
on supporting creating entrepreneurs to
bridge the gap between embracing all their
passions and creating real profits.

He is equal parts creative thinker and
successful business owner and has the
advantage of providing inspiration from real
life experience and extensive training.

Photography was his interest of
choice in order to remove himself
from the rest of society. He would
photograph on the streets and hiding
behind a camera, and of course, there
was the beauty of the darkroom
where he could really hide out.

He was always very good at photography.
Photography was his choice to be reclusive. If
you're a shy person, photography in the olden
days was perfect because there were darkrooms.

He made it through high school by hiding out in the
darkroom and skipping every other class, and just excelling
in photography. What happens when you excel at
something is you suddenly get attention. Suddenly in high
school he started getting all this attention, or attention he
was bringing to my high school because I kept winning all
these awards, national awards. Kodak picked up some of
his photographs and put me on a national tour, and he was
16 or 17 years old.

His portraits have appeared on The
Oprah Show, in “O” magazine, People
Magazine, CBS news, and on the cover
of New York Family Magazine.

He battled most of his life with severe
shyness; the roots of shyness, who knows? He
believes, at some point, things like shyness
and other issues at some point they become
just a recurring story, but they're rooted in
something.

For him, he was the youngest of three
boys. He had very overbearing personality
older brothers. They definitely stole the
limelight, if you will. He had some health
issues when he was a kid, like at the age
of two or three, he had bars on my legs
because they were rather crooked, so they
had to be straightened out.

He was the original Forrest Gump. The
interesting thing was, and this is not a
unique story, honestly, he meets a lot of
creative people, a lot of very successful
people, creatively and otherwise, that
have gone through a lot of various
shapes of trauma.

For the 20 or 25 years, I guess, 23 years
or so, I'm still a professional
photographer. However, 50% of my time
is split between my role as a
photographer and my role as a coach and
public speaker. Last seven years or so,
I've been a business coach, trained, and a
public speaker as well. I have gone
through a few transitions career-wise as
well.

One of his new dreams is to be able to speak at
TEDx.

Well into his photography career he
became a trained business coach
and public speaker. Jeffrey is also
the host of Creative Warriors
podcast. His published writings and
business eGuides have been cited in
trade journals and online sources.

He frequently turns conventional wisdom
“upside down” to offer entrepreneurs a way to
develop a sustainable business that is both
profitable and on purpose.
