What Excuses Do You Use?
“It‟s not the right time”
“I want it to be perfect”
“I need some more information”
“I don‟t want to do it wrong”
Bzzzzzz! Get Over It…
It‟ll never be the right time…
It‟ll never be perfect…
You‟ll never have enough information…
You‟ll pretty much always do it wrong…

teach entrepreneurship to
underserved children in the
community we are guests.
What Maverick Founders Say:
“Takes the cliché „Work Hard…Play Hard!‟ to a
whole new level… What we found here is a
group of like-minded individuals. We‟re not all in
the same business; we‟re not doing the same
things and that‟s part of the beauty of it.”
“This has been absolutely a top ten
experience in my life. It‟s been
transformational and inspiring. I would be
shocked if I didn‟t generate at least a million
dollars in the next 12 months from the ideas
and tactics that I learned from other people.”
“I really didn‟t expect to enjoy myself. I
thought I might even end up flying home
early…After having experienced it, I know that
I‟ll be back every time… from a business
perspective; the meetings were phenomenal
with great insight.”
