John Teeples is the owner of Big Dog Running, John Teeples Construction, and Iron Bank Coffee. Today in class he talked to us about how he got to where he is and what we could do to achieve our goals.

I understand that on a personal level because my brother was a similar situation.

When he opened his business’s the hard work and dedication to what he wanted to achieve paid off in the end and the same can go for anyone else. There are things that I took the easy way on and things I worked for and I can attest to the fact that the hard work had a far more satisfying outcome. There were many tips that Mr. Teeples gave to us but the last one I will bring up were his 4 greats for opening a business which are location, space, service, and products. By following these greats as well as other important steps one could create a good stable business if they so choose. I enjoyed Mr. Teeples
