“this is kind of what we had grown over 10 years is name recognition. The big companies that we compete with at first people didn’t know who we were and quite frankly didn’t care.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Danny M Goldberg:
- “the one thing I wish I could have done over its if I had a little more cash influx to start, we would have had more flexibility and probably could have expedited our growth”
- “if you are really going to do something the right way make sure you have for, six months of savings put away so if there are some lean times starting up you are not going to jump back to corporate America because of that”
- “I think understanding if you have something that is sellable. If you have something that differentiates you from the hundreds of other people or companies that are doing what you are doing. That’s the question I always ask every time when I’m asked about my business is what makes you different than everybody else? That is what are you going to sell where people are like wow, I want that, that’s a great deal. To me that’s really the secret sauce that really drives great business. Is how you going to be different, how are you going to change what I’m doing for the better and take maybe a different angle or a different approach in order to do that?”
- “Three golden nuggets: ask yourself how do we differentiate ourselves from any competition? Can you do this mentally and financially? Are you willing to put in the time, put in the effort? If you have a quality product, if you differentiate yourself and you are willing to put in the time you are going to be successful”
- “how are you going to add value to your potential clients?”
