Jonathan Brickman

I come from humble roots, Malden, MA. It was a colorful environment that exposed me to different ways of life – all very necessary skills for sales, business, and life. I am one of 5 boys – all spanning 8 years from top to bottom, so we competed and fought for everything. I believe education, hard work, and the ability to communicate are the keys to success. I am not talking about just education in the classic sense, rather real world education too. Learning, trying, failing….and eventually discovering your talents is the key to success. But, you have to work at it, constantly. It doesn’t just happen like in the movies. In the end, persistence beats smarts any day of the week. Communication skills are critical – you have to learn how to express yourself or you will be stuck in the corner. Take some chances. Keep learning, dig deeper, and you will continue growing and you will find your way. If you do what you like it will be fun and happen naturally. Business and Sales turned out to be my professional outlet. I have led 3 start-up businesses to success by applying basic blocking and tackling skills and a lot of energy and passion.
