To top off the night keynote speaker, Norm Nixon, delivered his methodology on making business work while chasing your passion.

“I played basketball for many years of my life. Throughout these years I learned technique and discipline that has transcended into many business ventures and a beautiful family, these same techniques can be applied to any aspect of your life.”

Norm then went on to explain the similarities between knowing your team on the basketball court and knowing your employees. He broke down the rules of business start-up and success in comparison to the game of basketball, reminding us all that the fundamentals of studying your opponent (competition), setting a focus on your goal (planning), perfecting your buzzer beater (your product, service or overall brand) and deciphering the best way to stay connected with your audience (target market) will also lead you and your team to a win!
