A U.S. Marine, Coury has seen and done a lot in his 45 years in Las Vegas. Coury is an observational entrepreneur, a “niche finder,” in his words. With nearly every venture he has undertaken, alongside various business partners including Dan Hughes, Don Tamburro and Tom Boeckle, he identified operational nuances that led to enhanced levels of success with all their ventures. This mindset was fascinating to execute in a young, growing town like Las Vegas since his arrival in 1973. Coury has worked as a casino dealer, real estate agent, founder of a limousine service and a partner in bars, restaurants, major graphics and glass companies, along with several automobile dealerships in Nevada and California. As a niche finder Coury says, “When you can demonstrate a need in any area of industry, your job is to find a cure, believe you can implement it, raise the money to do so, form the team and make it happen: a new business is born.” In the 1970s and ’80s, visionaries willing to go for it found Las Vegas to be a prime setting for fulfilling their entrepreneurial aspirations. Coury, year after year, pulled together concepts with his partners, identified funding and implementation, and enjoyed riding the wildest fun-filled roller coaster of business and life. From growing up on the streets of Brooklyn in the ’60s and early ’70s to surviving the good-ole-boy and Wild-West business and political climate of old school Las Vegas, this book is a testament to how Coury’s courage and perseverance enabled him to prevail against unethical, illegal and seemingly insurmountable obstacles along the path toward achieving his goals and dreams. Coury also chronicles his biggest challenge of all, beating esophageal cancer against the longest of odds. Ron is a major business figure in Las Vegas and former U.S. Marine. Coury is an observational entrepreneur, a “niche finder,” in his words. With nearly every venture he has undertaken, alongside various business partners including Dan Hughes, Don Tamburro and Tom Boeckle, he identified operational nuances that led to enhanced levels of success with all their ventures. Most recently, he wrote Tenacity, a memoir focuses on the determination necessary to overcome any and all unjust obstacles that may stand in the way of one’s dreams.

When I went to my doctor to find out what was happening, he told me that I was "stressed out" because I was so busy. I was working on my doctorate in leadership and started researching how busyness was affecting high capacity leaders and what could be done about it (for their sake and my own). That research resulted in a very practical book, Gettin’ (un)Busy: 5 Steps to Kill Busyness and Live with Purpose, Productivity, and Peace. In the book, I discuss how busyness and burnout are connected. I'd love to share with your audience the danger of one of the most common causes of burnout -- an over-commitment to too many good commitments -- and the simple steps they can take to beat busyness.Book: https://amzn.to/2MoZ2vI http://AdVanceLeadership.live http://gettinunbusybook.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/garlandvancepage LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/garland-vance Twitter: www.twitter.com/garlandvance Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCccPJdIqTSwzV_nDWy03AxA

Next up in the BURNOUT acronym is the letter U for upheaval.Burnout can create a situation where your life is completely upside down, and create upheaval all of your life. When I had my burnout in 2009/10, you can say that my life was upside down and an upheaval took place. For those of you that are not familiar with my over a period of time over 369 days, I had a heart attack that should have killed me. I lost my job during an economic recession. The family vehicle was repossessed. And then finally our home was foreclosed. All in a year. I don't want anybody to go through that. It was not fun for my family or myself to experience those losses. But we did. And as I said in an earlier post, burnout is a choice.Book a no-obligation call to discuss your burnout:https://www.meetingbird.com/l/bfastleadership/Intro
