In this episode, John and Kelly talk about the key things you must know in order to be a successful entrepreneur. John explained that the first thing you have to do is buckle up emotionally. Have the attitude that nobody screws me and I don’t screw anybody else. John learned this the hard way at 30 when he was launching as an entrepreneur. Some guys he was in partnership with took John’s idea and screwed him. Fortunately, John rebounded quickly and was better for learning that lesson. But the Takeaway is you have to be hard-nosed. Then Kelly talks about the traits required to be an entrepreneur. You have to be driven. Which only about 10% of people are. You also can’t take no for an answer.Later in the podcast John talks about the skills and habits to be a successful entrepreneur. Starting with embracing the idea of being a marketing expert yourself. Most people that own businesses turn that side of the business over to 3rd party marketing company. Big mistake. While it makes sense to have someone that helps you execute the strategy, the entrepreneur absolutely positively has to be involved in the marketing in order for the company to be successful. Lots of entrepreneurs miss this. Kelly then goes on to say that a key part of being successful is constantly growing. Learning from the expertise of others. Bringing into your head the wisdom of marketing, of employee empowerment, of organization and other critical things required to be a successful entrepreneur. And John explains that you have a system of personal growth that makes it consistent every week. About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn’s story is pretty amazing.
