Who do we work with? (Great people)

In a nutshell, we identify great people (with great ideas) who we think have the potential to take their ideas and maximize their potential. The people drive the business and the idea. It is the great leader who develops great companies, and we help bring out the best in these people.

Do It Right works with early-stage and small to mid-size businesses and will work with pre and post-revenue companies.DIR represents the Entrepreneur and his or her business. Even though we have an extensive network of investors, we represent your business/entrepreneur, not the Investor. Our niche is the company with a great idea that needs experienced advisors and assistance in developing and implementing effective go-to-market strategic initiatives.

What do you want in life?

Vince Lombardi once said, “A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.” These are wise words from a great coach. This is advice that can be adapted by a sports team, a business team, an individual, or a young person. Go for the big things in life!

A message from the founder of Do It Right:

You created your business because you want to make a difference in the world. You want to make it better. Like Chocolate chip cookies.

Life – like these cookies – is very simple. Each succeeding generation benefits from the preceding generation’s knowledge, experience, ingenuity, creativity and innovation. Think of the world without fire, electricity, gas engines, automobiles, computers or the polio vaccine. We all benefit from these creations.

Like life, Do It Right’s philosophy is very simple. We exist to help the next generation of entrepreneurs reach his or her goals. We exist because we want you to benefit from our success, our experience.

We want to be able to say, “I remember when she (or he) had this great idea, and now the entire world benefits”. We will stand a little taller and smile with pride at your accomplishments. Because we know we helped and we made a difference in your life-the entrepreneur’s life-and we made the world better.

So why are we called “Do It Right”?

Because we want you to be successful and we want you to “do it right” the first time. Does this always happen? Absolutely not, but we make sure your mistakes are short-lived and you grow. You need to work hard and smart. We want to work with people who WANT to succeed and will do what it takes to succeed with the right passion, the right motivation, and for the right reasons. “Do it” the right way, and your chance of success goes up exponentially; but remember, there is no guarantee in life.

So how do we “Do it Right”? We listen, and we never judge. We ask a lot of questions, we help you focus, and we help you identify what makes you different. Many people can do this-and many people do it quite well. Our experience and our knowledge help you focus your energy on the parts of your business that will make the biggest difference. We want to make a difference for you-and your children and your grandchildren.
