Foxx was down and out. “I had nothing more than a rented pickup truck, $974, and one cheap suit,” he said. But like many successful entrepreneurs, Foxx possessed a strong drive to succeed. He started a multi-faceted business, which almost failed spectacularly. “I wasn’t focused," he says, "and almost all the people I hired failed.” But Foxx learned from his mistakes and kept trying. Being in the mix of diversified businesses helped Foxx develop a dynamic personality and powerful sales and teaching skills. Foxx heard about Topgrading from friends in a leading author’s group. He called Brad Smart, saying his business was failing because of terrible mis-hires. Smart recommended Foxx attend a Topgrading Workshop, which he did. *"Not Topgrading almost cost me my company; using Topgrading saved it and enabled my business to skyrocket.""* J.T. Foxx No. of Employess: 60 Industry : Events & Entrepreneurship Highlights: - Improved from 2% to 80%+ A Players hired - Small but highly complex business requires A Players - Topgrading Interview and reference calls bring confidence to hiring process ### Solutions Foxx immediately implemented Topgrading - its structure appealing to his compulsive nature. In monthly touch points with Smart, Foxx reported that his new Topgraded hires were so much of an improvement over his previous hires that he cleaned house. “I’m a sales guy,” he said, “so sitting for a couple of hours interviewing a candidate initially drove me nuts. But I stuck with the process because I could see patterns emerging and as I learned about each job I got deeper and deeper insights into the candidates. When I conducted reference checks with the candidates' bosses I got solid confirmation of the conclusions I'd drawn, and I had great confidence in the the people I hired.” ### The Results In recent years Foxx has acquired over 500 properties, closed over $40 million in real estate deals, and has gained quite a reputation as a wealth advisor, motivational speaker, and radio host. His events include Mega Success, where thousands attend to learn from famous business leaders, entertainers, and political leaders. Foxx concludes, “Since learning Topgrading, all my business start-ups have been successful.” Schedule a Call [Contact Us](https://topgrading.com/meetings/andywilliams-topgrading/andy-williams-schedule-a-call-meeting) ![logo-footer](https://blog.topgrading.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo%20(1).png?width=249&height=50&name=logo%20(1).png "logo-footer") - 100 S Saunders Rd Ste 150 Lake Forest, IL 60045 - (847) 244-5544 - [info@topgrading.com](mailto:info@topgrading.com) [Contact Us](https://share.hsforms.com/1LwWWJ3v1RxK57ZpNXI-9Lwclbe4) #### Subscribe to Our Newsletter ##### Quick Links - [Human Capital Governance](https://topgrading.com/human-capital-governance) - [Solutions](https://topgrading.com/solutions) - [Private Equity](https://topgrading.com/private-equity) - [Our Firm](https://topgrading.com/our-firm) - [Leadership](https://topgrading.com/leadership) - [Hiring](https://topgrading.com/hiring) - [Organizational Design](https://topgrading.com/organization) - [Topgrading in the AI Era Workshop](https://topgrading.com/foolproof-hiring) - [Case Studies](https://blog.topgrading.com/case-studies) ##### Website Policy - [Privacy Policy](https://topgrading.com/privacy-policy) - [Cookie Policy](https://topgrading.com/cookies-policy) ##### [Client Portal](https://client.topgrading.com/membership-login/) Test [Refer a Company](https://share.hsforms.com/140pKFt8pReaZH4Bp7SuHigclbe4) © 2026 Topgrading.
