About the Obstacle Course

The Obstacle Course is the long anticipated first book of the Obstacle Course Trilogy.

Told in an informal first person narrative, The Obstacle Course shares George Lovato, Jr.’s experiences during the startup of his first business, a car rental and leasing venture that became a successful national company in the early and mid 1980’s. Topics include designing a business plan, selecting the right partners, defining roles and setting boundaries within a business, listening to and following the inner voice, practicing positive visualization techniques, assembling advisors and mentors, raising capital, pitching a concept on Wall Street, and taking a company public.

“I learned that over time everything – people, opportunities, our own needs – undergoes transformation. This is all part of the journey down the obstacle course.  I learned to adjust my vision, realign my intentions and modify my goals to accommodate and profit from these inevitable changes. I hope my experiences recounted herein will shed light on your own professional journey, and give you courage and a sense of camaraderie during the tough parts of the obstacle course you find yourself upon.”
