Meet Eli Stepp

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Eli Stepp a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Eli, thank you so much for opening up with us about some important, but sometimes personal topics. One that really matters to us is overcoming Imposter Syndrome because we’ve seen how so many people are held back in life because of this and so we’d really appreciate hearing about how you overcame Imposter Syndrome.

I overcame imposter syndrome by consistently showing up and moving forward. Moving forward even when business revenues are down or sporadic. Moving forward when supposed business contacts ghosted me. Moving forward when others in the marketplace have written me off. Moving forward when multiple business entities are still in the the “seed” stage waiting to germinate at the right time. While successes may be delayed, I am a successful business person in my own rite.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

Informing public about the positive impact of business aviation via BizAvJets, Inc. (www.bizavjets.com) Business Aviation Networking events. (www.bizavnetworking.com) BizAvJets USA Magazine. (www.bizavjetsusa.com) Veteran Transition Advocate Magazine. (www.vtamag.com) Being an advisor to Warriors in Need (www.warriorsinneed.com) Newly implemented land and sea travel services at BAJ Travel. (www.baj.travel) Being a Personal Development Advocate and the “Abundant Prosperity Traits Journal” I authored available on Amazon (APTraits.com)

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

– Quality
Business Aviation Maintenance and Operations impacted me of the importance of procedures and correct implementation of completing tasks. This skill impacted other parts of my life in a positive manner
– Endurance
Completing tasks or projects to their completion under tight schedules. Business Aviation maintenance projects demanded endurance to complete tasks correctly and meet the schedule promised to the customer.
– Personal Development
I am a huge personal development advocate. In addition to attending conferences and consuming multiple personal development books, I also penned an affirmation journal titled “Abundance Prosperity Traits” (On Amazon www.aptraits.com)
– Advice
Whatever you do, do it so well others take notice. Consume all the personal development material you can. Strive to serve others in some small way every day.

As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?

I cannot narrow that down to one book. Mentioning the following:
– The Bible
– The Four Agreements (Miguel Ruiz)
– Secrets of the Millionaire Mind ( T. Harv Ecker)
– Think and Grow Rich (Napoleon Hill)
Among others
