Entrepreneurial Role Models:
Billionaires
When business started difficulties overcame:
“just having funding. Funding is the number one thing where you have to kind of man up and say I am going to take a risk here, no one is really going to appreciate this risk, no one is going to kind of understand what I am going through as far as this thing but I am either going to have to put some money on credit cards or I am going to have to get a loan or I am just going to have to bootstrap it because it costs money to make money”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Kale Abrahamson:
- “becoming a billionaire is one of my long-term goals. And learning from those types of people is who I love to learn from”
- “knowing what kind of products to look for, knowing what ROI you need to have, what profit margin you need to strive for, knowing how to differentiate a product, knowing how to run Facebook ads, knowing how to run Amazon ads… Every single step the way I probably made 500 mistakes”
- “it has nothing to do with where you are from, what you look like, what your skin colour is, any of that stuff, it’s kind of, I like to call it ‘it’. You have it. It is tenacity, it’s work ethic obviously but anyone can tell you that, like Gary V will say work hard, work hard, work hard and everyone says work hard but I think there is a faith element to it where you have to have a vision and actually believe that you can get where you want to go”
- “your thoughts determine where you end up going”
- “wherever there is a lot of change there is someone getting rich. So, I think it’s great, I think that you should look for the opportunities in all of it”
