You Are Only Limited by Yourself - Dr. Tresia Eaves | 10x Your Team Ep.

How does someone juggle running a business, teaching at two universities, and working full-time as a Director of Enterprise Applications? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Dr. Tresia Eaves—Air Force veteran, author, adjunct professor, and founder of Variant Enterprises—to explore her remarkable journey from military service to becoming a recognized leader in technology consulting and project management. "You are only limited by yourself and the limitations you put on yourself," Dr. Eaves explains, sharing how she's managed to build a successful consulting business while teaching the next generation of business leaders and leading IT initiatives at Texas A&M University, Kingsville. From discussing her transition from military software development to civilian project management, to revealing her upcoming work on "The Platinum Rule" (treating others as THEY want to be treated, not as you want to be treated), this conversation offers valuable insights for anyone navigating multiple professional roles. What makes this episode particularly valuable is Dr. Eaves' practical approach to time management, her emphasis on building supportive teams, and her commitment to giving back through education. Whether you're a veteran transitioning to civilian work, an entrepreneur balancing multiple ventures, or a leader interested in project management excellence, Dr. Eaves' story provides a roadmap for achieving success without putting limitations on yourself.
