A Conversation with Ricardo Jiménez, Author of, “Crash Course” Saving Your Startup And Sanity

I had a very interesting conversation with Ricardo Jiménez, Author of “Crash Course” A Founder’s Journey to Saving Your Startup And Sanity. For every Miracle Mop, Bombas Sock, or Squatty Potty, there’s a Plushky. What’s a Plushky? It’s a stuffed, colorful plush toy shaped like a country. For 6 years, Ricardo Jiménez engaged in a relentless pursuit to find the market, customers, distributors, investors, partners and sellers to make his line of Plushkies the next big thing.

The fact that you’ve probably never seen a Plushkey on any retail shelves or online stores gives you a clue to how Ricardo’s hot toy idea never even reached a simmer. Ricardo’s book, “Crash Course” shares the mistakes he made despite holding an MBA from Duke University. Ricardo has convinced himself that his tale of failure is needed more than a Cinderella success story. On the pages of his book, Ricardo recants how he faltered in his efforts to become the next American Dream. Ricardo’s book seems to me a way for him to turn his lemons into lemonade.

He wrote this book to offer advice that may have helped him reach his dreams. Maybe it will help you reach yours. However you decide to look at it, this book will show you what not to do in your quest for success. Ricardo’s biggest mistake was not thinking about the target market for his product. He latched on to, “Build it and they will come” before he decided if there was even a market for his idea. Ricardo is candid about his missteps, misguided decisions and mismanaged expectations that all led to missed opportunities.

Check out our interview below.

This book also shows readers that an MBA does not mean you won’t set yourself up to fail by overlooking the most important things.

You can find Ricardo’s book on Amazon

I was selected to participate in the Clear, Mind, Peaceful Hearts Blog Tour and Giveaway for the Book and Starbucks gift card. I was so excited to receive the book as someone who struggles with runaway anxious thoughts, especially at night.

You can watch my video below to learn more.

About the Book

What lies heaviest on your heart as you lay your head on your pillow? Are paralyzing
fear and anxiety stealing tomorrow’s peace? Listen to this invitation from Jesus:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you
rest” (Matthew 11:28 NIV). Experiencing this kind of rest won’t come from escapism,
more vacation days, or stuffing our feelings. Jesus Himself provides rest to our
weary souls. While He may not always fix everything right away, we can fix our
thoughts on His Word. In doing this, we can sleep at night with ease knowing that
God has it all under control.

Through the pages of Clear Mind, Peaceful Heart, written by New York Times best-
selling author Lysa TerKeurst and her friends at Proverbs 31 Ministries, you will be equipped to:

  • Quiet fearful and anxious thoughts that always seem to be the loudest before
    bedtime by incorporating the Bible into your nightly routine
