"Business is not just about numbers. It's about the relationships and the connections that you're building ."
Dalton Gilbert is an ambitious entrepreneur and the GM of Caliber Collision in Orlando, Florida. Growing up in Virginia, he wasn't surrounded by entrepreneurs or people who sought to build their own businesses. Instead, people in his community typically found steady jobs and stuck with them for decades. However, the post-COVID surge in entrepreneurship ignited a fire within Dalton, inspiring him to explore the possibilities of working for himself. By engaging with successful entrepreneurs and reading books on business, Dalton has gained valuable insights on starting a business and the importance of setting realistic goals. As he continues to learn and grow, Dalton is finding that embracing failure and learning from it can serve as stepping stones towards success.
