Other Quotes From the Chat with Roger Beaudoin:
- “I worked in different industries that all contributed to my business success”
- “I had to develop all these systems over time and ultimately once they were in place then they could be executed by my management team and I could just have the big picture from 30,000 feet and then start other businesses and move on from there”
- “had I known more intimate knowledge of the industry that I got into prior to starting it would have saved me a lot of time money and effort and headaches for sure”
- “persistence, persistence, persistence, vision, passion, being driven not to quit, moving forward because you believe in an idea so strongly that the minute that you stop the very next minute you could realise tremendous success but you would never know it if you stopped”
- “study your competitors’ online presence, how they market, who their target customers are, what results they are having, what mistakes they have made. Those types of things are very well serving. Again, learn as much as you can about the business you have either just started or you are planning on starting before you do it”
