Ray
Ray Gage was an entrepreneur and sales leader in the insurance industry for 36 years. He worked with clients daily of all sizes, ranging from start-up businesses to firms with over $500 million in yearly revenue. With a specialty in worker’s compensation and safety, Ray worked with clients to integrate programs on a more holistic basis than what is done at most traditional insurance practices. At the tender age of 55, Ray realized that a change was necessary to fulfil his desire to help others start or continue their journey to reaching their potential. He was surprised to realize that it would require a cliff dive to get there. After retiring from insurance, Ray carried his experience into the coaching & consulting field. He is now a Mindvalley Certified Business Coach with certificates in Fundamentals of Coaching, Coaching Competencies, and Impacting Leaders. He brings a unique perspective to his work due to his involvement with many different types of businesses and other professional organizations over the years. Ray’s personal mission statement is “learning to show up better in my world so that I can help others learn to show up better in theirs”.
Why this book?
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about clarity. It’s about creating a life you’re excited to wake up to—not one you’re just surviving.
Start with Stop is about hitting pause long enough to see the truth: what got you here won’t get you there. It’s a roadmap to help you:
Identify what’s holding you back—habits, beliefs,
routines, or expectations.
Let go of what isn’t working, even when it feels
uncomfortable.
Focus on what actually matters—the things that
move you forward and bring you joy.

Raving Fans
Unlike many offerings, this book starts with looking at helping you assess what ineffective things should STOP. If you can relate to an area that isn't working, Ray then offers better options so that you might replace bad with better, despairing with hopeful, or stuck with progress.
This isn't "War and Peace", you could read it in just one sitting, but this book reminded me of "The Art of War" in its depth.

Amazon Review
Ray Gage’s thoughtful take on sixteen common mistakes is anything but common. This is not your typical self-help book. It offers generational wisdom, making this a book for anyone at any life stage.
Start with Stop is a book I wish I had to help navigate the last six decades of my life.
This is certain… I’ll be buying copies for our friends, children, and grandchildren.
