Entrepreneurial Role Models:
David Heath and Randy Goldberg Co-Founders of Bombas
When business started difficulties overcame:
“self-doubt, that was the biggest thing. The question in my mind who am I to suggest what anybody should be doing had always challenged me. But I use that to my advantage. I say yes to everything where I think I can make a difference. And at times I throw myself in at the deep end but I always do my homework and I make it my commitment to overdeliver on results. So, in a way they self-doubt its still with me now but what I’ve realised is it never lets me get complacent. It always keeps me sharp and I never take for granted that I know everything”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“I think it’s a mistake to take a quality and declare that to be the cause of someone’s success. It could be a contributing factor; it could just be luck. And I would just encourage people to spend less time focused on what other people have done and more time learning about yourself, what makes you unique and what you’ve got to offer and where that best fits”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Ken Mosesian:
- “I am not sure that shortening the learning curve is necessarily a good thing. And I say that for myself because I learned so much by going at my own pace. And from the journey itself I think there is great value in it. And that it really did more to inform me than anything that I read or that I listened to. I would just encourage people to take the time as they move through it, not to waste time, not to procrastinate, to realise that the journey they are on has lessons in it as long as their eyes are open to them”
- “I think what coaching enables you to do is to see the journey more clearly and it may indeed shorten the time. But I think the point for me is that there can tend to be a reliance on other people’s experience where people try to emulate those experiences as opposed to simply learn from them or to incorporate that as part of the journey. And it’s somewhat of a fine distinction but I think the place where people need to be most reliant is on their own journey themselves. What they are offering is unique… So, I just want to emphasise the value of the journey itself and the importance of really being true to who you are”
- “failure is an inevitable part of the journey to some degree and there is gold in it if we choose to look at it”
- “there is a solution in every problem if we choose not to try to discard it but actually see it for what it is, which could be an extraordinary opportunity”
- “it’s tough to say I made a mistake and it’s tough to ask forgiveness and then it’s tough to forgive yourself and move on”
- “the singular focus on a goal, the bringing together of so many different disparate people can make this happen and to do it against all odds that to me is the entrepreneur’s journey at the most epic level”
- “we mean what we say and we say what we mean, we are our word”
- “I saw this on the BBC a little while back and it’s something called survivorship bias. And the notion was we tend to look at successful people in a vacuum and make sweeping generalisations on what we think contributed to their success… Example if someone doesn’t finish college and suddenly, we think higher education is a hindrance to success”
