Episode notes

There's a lot of things the college will not prepare for when it comes to starting a business because starting a business is stressful. Raising money, asking people for money is not a fun thing if you're looking at your long term success. There's so many ways for anything to fail, whether it's competitors, technology or bad marketing.

Bobby Demars is the Founder of Blind Barrels - a blind whiskey tasting subscription, the first to create disruption of the industry’s current distribution model by showcasing American craft distilleries.

Top 3 Value Bombs:

1. Find a place to park your problems. Address yourself why you’re stressed. Are you chasing what others want to see in you or what you want to see in yourself? Comparison is the death of joy.

2. Redefine your success. Check in on how you feel and the people around you feel. That should be the benchmark of your success. It’s the happiness you create for others and for yourself.

3. Overcoming obstacles is difficult. Managing it with your mindset before you take the risk will allow you to deal with these ideas, obstacles, and stresses that automatically come with your business.
