responsibility thinking entrepreneur
I think a great entrepreneur is learning every day. An entrepreneur is somebody that doesn't take no for an answer - they're going to figure something out. They also take responsibility. They don't blame anybody else. And they're dreamers in one sense but they're also realistic and they take affordable steps when they can.
thinking eggs perfect
The perfect breakfast is fish with grits and scrambled eggs with onions. I'm getting hungry thinking about that.
dream thinking energy
It takes the same energy to think small as it does to think big. So dream big and think bigger.
thinking process ifs
I think it's only failure if you put the word failure on it. I think it's part of the process of learning where you're going to go and what doesn't work.
way
I've failed way more than I've succeeded.
truth-is sells
Truth is the easiest thing to sell.
mistake bumps may
Learn as many mistakes and what not to do while your business or product is small. Don’t be in such a hurry to grow your brand. Make sure that you and the market can sustain any bumps that may occur down the road.
mind copycats products
In my mind, there are too many copycat web products out there that are doing the same thing.
pioneers settlers
Pioneers get slaughtered, and the settlers prosper.
mistake trying levels
Try to make all the mistakes with your own money and on a small level so that when you are responsible for a partner’s money or assets you’ve learned and you don’t make bigger mistakes. Try to go as far as you can without anybody else’s help first.
good-life people effort
Poor people put a low value on themselves and their efforts.
trends different timeless
When looking at trends I always ask myself basic and timeless questions about business, and the one I seem to always come back to is, 'How is this different than anything else in the marketplace?'
jobs giving-up needs
In entrepreneurship, you decide to give up your day job at the point where either (A) the hobby/new business is at least making some form of ends meet, or (B) you feel that you need to dedicate yourself for a certain amount of time to it and give yourself the last hoorah.
inspirational children love-you
As an entrepreneur, you love your business like a child, and you're taught to be laser-focused on the business.
