Other Quotes From the Chat with Jesse Krieger:
- “I’ve always had a single focused determination”
- “nothing will call your enthusiasm for a business idea faster than a bad partner or a misaligned team member or misaligned clients where they are expecting something way different than what you are offering to provide. The alignment piece is very important otherwise it creates an underlying friction that doesn’t resolve itself”
- “never give up”
- “the last man standing is the one that wins” Jesse’s Dad
- “you will have ample opportunities to give up and to lose hope and to justify why you gave up. But if you just simply don’t inevitably you will have some degree of success”
- “you separate the creative process from the editing and the managerial process. Don’t self edit while you work. And don’t second guess yourself while you are building your business and taking action”
