About Jeff Davis

Entrepreneur Jeff Davis went from working every night and every weekend with 80+ hour work weeks to traveling for 2 years with his family, seeing 29 countries - all while growing his business. He attributes making that life changing leap from being stuck in the day to day weeds to being able to travel and focus on the vision to doing 7 particular things. When any other entrepreneurs go through these same 7 steps, they also build dramatically more scalable businesses, they start growing their companies with more freedom to focus on the bigger impact things and they're also able to pursue other passions in their lives.
