This multimillionaire once cleaned meat trucks for $7 an hour, but a coffee shop encounter proved 'You're just one move away from changing your life' | Fortune
"Hey, I've got an extra muffin if you'd like one,"
"Sometimes you're just one move away from changing your life,"
"Not one business plan. Not one investor. One creative idea. One right conversation. One bold move. The universe doesn't reward perfect plans. It rewards action."
"Stay consistent and take a small step every day."
Jesse Itzler started with low-wage jobs and varied early attempts before seizing a bold networking move to launch a private-jet business. He bought every muffin at a coffee shop outside a TED conference to start conversations that led to initial clients. That first client helped Marquis Jet grow to more than $5 billion in sales and eventually sell to Berkshire Hathaway in 2010. He emphasizes that bold, creative actions and consistent small daily steps matter more than perfect plans, urging people—especially younger workers—to take smart risks rather than follow only a 'safe' path.
