Of course you can try and fail three times as an entrepreneur before actually doing it right. And there are many entrepreneurs who will explain also how important it is to fail and how you must be ready to fail. But really it’s going to be so much less painful and it’s going to also avoid you losing time if you just come in prepared. You may think all the time you put into this preparing phase is going to add maybe delay at the start of your business but is going to be difficult but really you’re going to be so thankful that you did it later because it’s actually going to make you save time and be more competitive. So I would say preparing, learning about all the dimensions that will make you become a good entrepreneur, learn from other people and then manage your risks”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-7dK

Born and raised on a farm in northern Indiana, Bert Miller raised himself up through the brands of E. & J. Gallo and Revlon, to then start Protis Global and recently acquired Management Recruiters International Inc. An athlete all his life, from baseball to football, and now mind-numbing, soul-building marathons, Bert takes the competition, the drive, the sweat and the brutal determination of a sportsman and plows it all into his work. From farm to founder, he knows better than anyone else that the underdog can take on the mighty. It’s one of the reasons he owns three companies; the absolute, all-consuming belief that anyone can choose a path less traveled and fulfill their dreams. His ethos is why we all hustle every day, to build companies and put talented individuals in their dream roles. If you ask Bert anything, his answer will always be bourbon. “take the road less travelled, out work the others (you have got to outwork folks), be present with people, and you have got to show up. And when you show up and you have those other attributes, you give yourself a chance to win… If you just make all of the ordinary plays… Make the ordinary plays and not try to be extraordinary you will always give yourself a chance to win”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-7dB

She helps entrepreneurs raise their dreams, launch their projects and make a bigger impact through the power of this untapped revenue source...collaboration and sponsorship. “stick with it when times get tough. I see so many people who have big dreams and their business can help so many people and make a big impact. And when times get hard, they give up easily or too soon. And there is an opportunity there for us to ask for help, to get a coach, to find somebody to collaborate with.

So figure out how to survive another day and just be ready to seize opportunity when it is there. And with that make just sure that you are doing something that you plan on doing a long time. The things you read about in the newspapers or the blogs where they raise millions of dollars and then the raise tens then the raise hundreds and they sell four years later that is one out of 50 million businesses.
