When business started difficulties overcame:
“the biggest challenge is that you are fundamentally limited and you are very motivated and you are very energetic and you find usually when you start some business you find something that you think is really big but your resources and capabilities are rather limited. So I think the biggest challenge when you start the business is that sometimes luck plays a role to but I think that you really follow what you want to do and follow your idea and you really keep on insisting on it and you really stick to it and you have a strong will to get to that. And from there the business hopefully grows and you have the opportunities to make it a suitable and profitable business”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“One of the most important things is to never give up and to never get demotivated and staying positive. If you can really maintain that positive attitude and use changes for the benefit of yourself and your goal and really believe in what you do, I think that’s the absolute foundation. If you lose one of these component others will sense that also. You need to believe in what you do very strongly so that you can convince others to that to and to follow you”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Marco Streng:
- “I think being careful and thinking through options and thinking through possibilities is something that really helps”
- “as entrepreneurs we are driven by opportunity. We are seeing chances; we are seeing opportunities along our way and we thrive to realise them”
- “everything we do we improve ourselves and we should not let ourselves down and demotivate ourselves, it’s always continuously grow and learn from the mistakes”
- “the important thing is to not lose focus. There are so many things also so many opportunities. And also, many third parties that are coming with ideas. And that is all great. There are possibilities there is opportunities in everything. But you can get lost in this straw of opportunity and lose your main vision and you lose your main focus. And I think that is the key, the real key, that you always have the goal in front of your eyes and you go step by step towards that goal. And of course, there can be opportunities that can maybe accelerate going towards that goal or maybe adjust your goal. Of course, that’s also possible and that’s fine. But you should get much distracted and just taken away by your path and what you envision where you want to go and really stay focused”
- “I think change is a very positive thing. How boring would the world be without things changing?”
- “if you believe in something and if you work hard enough and really believe in a purpose or in something concretely then you really have a chance to achieve that. There is only a few things that are really impossible in life. The part of our brain that always tells us oh this is impossible, there is no way that we can do that. There is ways to do things and there is ways to laterally move mountains so to speak if you believe strong enough in it and if the will is strong enough”
