Entrepreneurial Role Models:
When business started difficulties overcame:

I was to a certain degree not really open to ask people for help. I felt that when you ask for help it might show weakness.

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“to make better decisions one of the things that can help make better decisions is to get more information. When you look at people no one really wants to make bad decisions, no one willingly gets up in the morning and says today I’m going to make a bad decision.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Boaz David:
- “to do something that you love, to do something where you are helping people yet building businesses from that is something that is very inspiring for me”
- “Why are you doing it? Who is your customer? What do you offer them? Investigate your market. How I going to put all of this together?”
- “If I would be more open to ask questions I would probably be able to do a lot better in an earlier stage”
- “asking other people what they would do or how they would deal with things, get their opinion, even talk to colleagues and people who are sort of doing similar things to what we do and get their experience. It seems that I was I don’t know if afraid of doing I just wasn’t comfortable doing”
- “one of the things that an entrepreneur faces on a regular basis is that there is going to be uncomfortable situations, there is going to be surprises, there are going to be things that are out of your control. And understanding that, being aware of it and being prepared for that… And by preparing for that I mean accepting it, knowing that this is going to be the story and I am going to need to feel comfortable in this situation because otherwise I won’t be able to make good decisions. So these are the things that I think have hurt me in the past and now I am able to do a much better job”
- “the mindset of an entrepreneur is crucial because if someone goes into a business or anything in life and they just don’t have that belief that this can happen, they don’t have the belief that they can make it happen then it simply won’t happen. Yet if someone has that belief… So first of all it drives them, it helps them overcome challenges but it will also help them find the right way to do things because they know that this is going to happen and they are not afraid of failures and they are not afraid of things not happening, they are not afraid of not being in control. Nothing is really having a negative impact on someone has the right mindset”
- “a leader is someone who knows how to serve others, who understands what people need while respecting people who is not afraid to ask them for feedback who is not afraid to ask them what they need and provide them what they need. Really be in service for them”
