The advice he gave to entrepreneurs was this:
"Go out and do it and do it now. There are two schools of though. The first one is that you graduate, get some work experience, and then be an entrepreneur. The other is that you're young and you have less to lose. That's the school of thought I subscribe to. Risks go up as you add complexities to your life."
He lectures in various forums and one of his themes is "Leap before you look." Many people have ideas but they never get them off the ground.
I just thought you might all find that interesting, seeing as how some of us are entrepreneurs and trying to make a name for ourselves as well as some Top Ramen for our bellies.
I like this guy. This is precisely how I justified my leap into the world of entrepreneur ism. When I started, I had Ashley, and that's it. Nothing to loose, 'cause Ashley was on board with me and I knew wasn't going to loose her.
ReplyDeleteLiving easy and free didn't last forever, but even as more responsibility came along, in the form of two children, we've found that we can still get by, and in relative comfort at that.
This is why I've decided to just go for it now instead of waiting for everything to be "just right" to start FTR. Everything I've read says "Start from where-ever you're at, with whatever you've got." "Get in the corridor."
ReplyDeleteThanks for the possitive re-enforcement, Ked. :)
