Entrepreneurial Role Models:
Nathan’s Father
When business started difficulties overcame:
“my greatest difficulty was two . One was the fear of no more pay cheque. I was a very successful leader in corporate America… I think the first thing I had to do was realise that paychecks don’t come on Fridays when you are writing them… I think the second most difficult part of leaving corporate America is the structure. In corporate America you have a job and you have all these resources. When you go to build your own business… Just realise that you think you are a business owner but really what you are is the janitor. And so if you can embrace the fact that everything that someone else used to do for you, everything you thought was beneath you from now on it’s your primary job was to end so you have got to get your ego out of the way of your success”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“you have got to be committed to it more than you are than the job or the money… Don’t stop short… If you are going to work to build someone’s business stay working to build yours and be willing to sacrifice everything… You have got to study now so you can reap the rewards later… As an entrepreneur we have got to continue to sacrifice maybe what we want or maybe what makes is uncomfortable, we have got to be willing to sacrifice that and get uncomfortable, not need the things we think we need but versus we want and stay committed to it and don’t stop”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Nathan Jamail:
- “find your business, find your power and stay focused”
- “I’d focus on one thing, I’d stay committed to it and I would become the best at that. I would focus my business on whatever it is I am trying to do”
- “I will take legwork over money work. In other words instead of paying for advertisements I will go and hustle the business. I think that might have been a little shortsighted, I think you need a combination of both. I think marketing is key. And so we spend quite a bit of time and money doing both of them now. I think if I would have done that in the beginning, had a little more awareness and maybe listen to others a bit better I could probably have had a better marketing program earlier on. That would have grown my business a lot faster than just legwork”
- “I don’t think any of us have all the answers. I think it’s the ability to stay persistent”
- “I got rejected more times… I didn’t think it was possible to get rejected more than I did by girls growing up. But I got rejected 10 times that amount when it came to this. Because we were persistent to an half years later we were selling thousands of books”
- “it’s basic in principle but powerful in meaning”
- “the biggest thing in your life is you because that will determine your marriage, your decisions and your leadership and your life. My ask of you is learn to read a little bit so you can learn other perspectives and learn how to change yours so you become better”
