I think a lot of people make the mistake of reading and researching and searching for that one person that they think they need to latch onto to help them get started. And of course, the most important thing that nearly all successful entrepreneurs will say if you asked them after a few years in business is what actually started their learning at a much more significant pace was starting… I don’t think anyone person knows all the answers, I don’t think anyone person can help us understand what we need to do.

Take a small lesson from every single person that you meet along the way. Because success is at the end of the day a combination of luck which you can’t control but obviously you can put yourself in a position to take advantage of.

1762: Everything about Starting Something New Is Unreasonable with Tod Barrett Co-Founder and Partner of One Blade Inc

Tod Barrett, CEO of OneBlade, Inc., has created a tool to allow men to enjoy a ‘barbershop’ quality shave at home. An expert in Product Development, Marketing, Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management, he was former CEO of CD3 Holdings and its subsidiary, Ronco. “I think question I asked friends talk to me about business opportunities or becoming an entrepreneur leaving a long-time career to do something new. My question to them is: Are you willing to be unreasonable? And the reason I asked that question is because I feel like entrepreneurial undertakings really require, not in a negative sense that I think most people jump to when they hear the word unreasonable, but really if you step back and you are honest about it everything about starting something new is unreasonable. The amount of time it takes, the money takes, the risk that you are going to ultimately take in that process. So that’s really, really critical… The other one is… Get outside mentors, get outside coaches that are willing to be honest with you. Not your spouse or your best friend you need somebody who is willing to tell you the truth when you are talking about something that is going on in your business ”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-7KD
