Q - One piece of advice would you give to someone who wants to start the journey as an entrepreneur today? - Chet Kapoor
A - You got to feel like you have to do it. You can’t not do it. -
It’s got to be something you super passionate about. You got to talk about it over and over and over and over and over, and you’re going to get tired of hearing yourself talk. But if you don’t bring that energy to it then it’s just not going to work. - Jeff Frick
I think you can increase the surface area of luck and the probability of falling into some situations by putting yourself out there. But at the end of the day you just do the best you can and sometimes it works and oftentimes it doesn’t. Jeff Frick
Good News - Entrepreneurs have more, powerful, cheap, technology tools at their disposal than any who have come before.
Bad News - So does everyone competition.
As always, it’s the shaping of said power into a solution that delivers higher value to the purchaser, than it costs to deliver, and bingo. You Did It.
Of course, looking at some of today’s higher profile startups, costs much more to deliver than people are paying.... so they’ll make it up in volume?
Thanks again Chet.
Always fun to swap seats.
