Entrepreneurial Role Models:
When business started difficulties overcame:
“you don’t know what you don’t know. And so until you actually going to business you don’t have to deal necessarily with customers I mean you may deal with friends but you are not dealing with customers when you are not an entrepreneur or not a business but you have got to learn not necessarily how to balance a cheque book but you need to know if $500 came in that you have the $500 to pay the person for your product or service. Those are things you didn’t learn. You also have to create a culture for your business. How do you create a culture and what is a culture? Well the way I define culture is”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“you are going to go through struggles, is not going to be a clear straight arrow that you’re going to make it. So, one, don’t give up, two, make sure you have the resources to pursue it because that’s part of giving up. Many times, people give up because they don’t have the financial resources. Make sure you have got in place what you need, the people surrounding you are a good resource, good network of people, money, time and a position to do it. But at the end of the day just do it. It’s not Nike who say just do it you have just got to take chance no matter what your circumstances, you might not have any money, you may not have any time, you may not have anything but if you have got the will and you just pursue it sometimes it just takes off and you are very surprised, and that’s part of being an entrepreneur.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Peter Bronstein:
- “before you go into business you have to ask yourself do you have the commitment and time that you need to be able to make sure it goes through. Because that’s where I see a lot of people failing in. They don’t realise how much time and effort it takes. They think that okay I will build something and then I’ll be on the beach drinking my Piña colada. It doesn’t work that way, the reality is you will probably work more as an entrepreneur than when you are working for a company, and the risks are much higher and granted if it’s successful you will be very well off naturally. But there is also a very high likelihood that it won’t be successful and you are going to be spending your savings and it’s going to a lot longer time to get that altogether”
- “sometimes hiring a mentor or coach may be expensive but if they have been through it before they’ve got the experience of their 20 failures. And those 20 failures are actually ways that you can help out. It doesn’t mean those coaches are failures it just means that they’ve had a lot of experiences and dealt with similar issues and they can help you out. So a good business coach a good business consultant can really help you out. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel if you don’t have to.”
- “You have to believe in something and continue to believe in it. Once you start doubting yourself you are not going to succeed”
- “you have to be willing to adapt, you have to be willing to make changes”
