Creating Impactful Personal Brands for Founders

You don’t need more information.
You don’t need another course.
You don’t need a guru yelling at you to “be motivated.”

What you actually need is discipline.
Real, simple, daily discipline, the kind that builds a better life one small rep at a time.

After 18+ years building businesses, coaching founders, and watching thousands of people “try harder” with no real change… I realized something:

Discipline isn’t a personality trait.
It’s a daily practice.
And anyone can build it.

So I created The Be Better Initiative,  a $1/month community built around one idea:

One daily discipline rep → A better life in 365 days.

No pressure.
No overwhelm.
No complicated systems.
Just one small, meaningful win each day,  plus accountability, momentum, and a community of people committed to becoming stronger, clearer, and more consistent.

Every morning, members get:

• One actionable success rep
• A simple discipline task they can complete in minutes
• A place to report progress
• A rhythm that compounds over time

Because when you stack 365 small wins…
you become someone new.

Be Better isn’t a program.
It’s not a challenge.
It’s not “rah-rah motivation.”

It’s a movement,  built on the belief that your life changes when your daily behavior changes.

If you’ve tried everything except the thing that actually works,  consistency,  this is what you’ve been looking for.

🎯I love helping CEOs & teams save money, make money, stay out of trouble, & have FUN🎯

Before MacGyver came on the scene, I’d completed my first turnaround at 28. I got the “MacGyver” nickname for my first “help us fix this acquisition” assignment within a Fortune 100 company.
 
👉Do you need someone “outside the jar to help you read the label” and help you simplify the complex?
👉Do you want to save money, make money, stay out of trouble, and have fun?
👉Do you want to silence the internal voice of imposter syndrome that says you’re not good enough?
 
You might need a MacGyver like me to help.
 
As a college dropout, every job I had was “Master’s preferred. Bachelor’s required,” so I couldn’t rest on my credentials or pedigree (or lack thereof). I had to hustle, think creatively, and forge bullet-proof collaborations.

“I’d like people to say this guy lived life with no regrets.” – George El-Hage

There are moments in life when something small reveals something big.

For George, it was a note on his desk praising his performance… along with a $5 Tim Hortons gift card.

It wasn’t the amount that bothered him.

It was the message underneath.

Years of effort reduced to something transactional. Something polite. Something small.

That’s when he knew.

Not that he needed a new job — but that he needed a different path, one that matched how he works, how he connects, & how he shows up every day.

That recognition became direction.

What emerged was Wave, a digital business card platform — not just another cool tech tool, but an answer to connections that deserved more than a polite exchange, a quick goodbye — or a toss in the trash.

Turns out, George’s “no regrets” isn’t just about risking everything. It’s about paying attention — and taking action — when the truth shows up quietly.

Wayne Dyer once said, “Don’t die with your music still in you.”

George won’t.

Agree?

“It’s a long game. You gotta stay in the game long enough to win.” – George El-Hage

George didn’t wake up knowing how to build a company.

He knew spreadsheets. Finance. Stability.

Which made his next move bolder.

When he finally left banking, he didn’t chase comfort. He chased the skill every founder told him mattered most.

He went into sales.

Cold calls. Missed quotas. Almost getting fired.

120–150 dials a day just to earn the right to keep going.

It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t linear.

And it definitely wasn’t fast.

But somewhere between rejection & repetition, something clicked.

Sales became leverage. Failure became feedback. And patience became the real advantage.

Wave wasn’t built from a flash of inspiration. It was built from years of learning the hard way — how value is created, earned, & sustained.

That’s the part most people skip.

No shortcuts.

No overnight success.

Just the long game — played on purpose.

As Naval Ravikant put it, “The real competition is who can stay in the game the longest.”
