Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“firstly and it might seem very basic but understand your market and particularly getting beyond your social circle which is where you naturally go. And Of course you can take some sale dings early on with where you are heading. But one of the big reasons for getting beyond that is I believe you have to have a clear point of difference that’s meaningful to you or potential customers because the world is so crowded now with a lot of me to offerings. As I said earlier you can come up with a very good basic offering but if you don’t have a point of difference it’s going to be very hard to market”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Eriks Celmins:
- “find a project manager, someone you can trust who is going to be independent of the people doing the actual coding work… If you are a non-techie you can easily get blown out on the scope, time schedules, costs, all of those things which if you are not getting good advice, and someone who is independent of that process and ideally independent of the company that’s building your app that can help you do that and ask the right questions”
- “you have to be driven and passionate”
- “coming out of a team or a corporate environment, all of those things that you take for granted around you…0 is understanding how you need to replicate the best of that in how you go about things”
- “as an entrepreneur press it’s having the EQ because if you can’t relate to people and understand what it’s like to walk in their shoes, what their needs and aspirations, hopes and fears are… I think that’s really the key to it because otherwise you can sit around thinking about how to tweak your system is and so on but that doesn’t have a lot of point unless that relates to what people actually need. And so matching what you do with people’s needs that’s at the real heart of it. How you execute it, look there is all sorts of ways to do that but of course you learnt that on the way as well. But it’s definitely your EQ I think.”
- “There’s an even greater need now in business for the human qualities of stories, empathy, meaning and other aspects… Because it’s not one thing all the other. We are not in a world that should be completely automated and obviously it’s not going to be completely non-tech because it’s all gone beyond that. It is a balance but there are many commentators and thinkers now that follow this path of saying you need those human qualities, you need to be able to problem solve and think around things in order to succeed”
- “challenging during current thinking and how to come up with new ways to do things”
- “just tries small things first before plunging into perhaps a major project with someone you are visually don’t know”
