When business started difficulties overcame:
“First of all, figuring out will the dog eat dog food. That’s the biggest issue that most others have. We have an idea that we think we are going to run the business or do the business, but how? We have a general idea but we are pretty naïve. And I don’t think we spend enough time studying and reading and watching and mentoring or being a part of a bigger group.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Jeffrey Hayzlett:
- “experience is the best teacher but there is patterns in everything that we do. So, if you have a mentor or you are part of the group that you belong to they can help you lessen that curve”
- “Are there new ideas? There is new takes on ideas… For most things it is repetition of patterns”
- “I think mood is… I always pay attention to culture but I really spent time on mood. Because culture is something that takes a while to develop and you can state this is what it is. But over time culture is an amalgamation of everybody that is in your company believing and operating in similar fashions, like a community, each one playing their roles but based on certain morals, based on certain rules that you kind of put out there or values that you have. But mood is something that can kill anything. Mood can create panic, mood can create confidence, mood can create being scared, mood can create bad attitude. There is a lot of things . You can have a great business but have a crappy mood of the employee and it ruins the experience… So, mood is a very important thing when it comes to business”
- “having great focus around your conditions of satisfaction. I think listening is another one for entrepreneurs. Listening is a big one. And then doing it, acting. I think those are the three biggest things I would focus on”
