Week 9 Post

For this week I interviewed my brother who is a successful entrepreneur in the technology gadget field. These are the top 5 comments he made during that interview. 

1. Believe your product will revolutionize the industry. His thoughts were that if you aren't thinking big enough then you're selling yourself short from the beginning.

2. Always be open to critical feedback of your products. Some of your best ideas and feedback comes from those who don't like the product you're offering because they offer the most honest opinions.

3. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. The launch of their first product didn't go as planned so they retooled it and relaunched it with HUGE success. Your product won;t be perfect right off the bat but that doesn't mean all your ideas or that even that product won't be great.

4. Don't hire or partner with people who think just like you. It's important to have opposing views with those you work with, you're more likely to find holes in your product with different minds than like minded individuals.

5. Love what you do. Being an entrepreneur is not easy but it can be incredibly rewarding! Be patient and trust that what you're doing will get the results you expect, don't get caught in the weeds of negativity when things don't go your way. Be happy, have fun, and love being an entrepreneur!
