Entrepreneurial Role Models:
None specific
When business started difficulties overcame:
“the biggest hurdle I had to come over was the impostor syndrome. I actually wanted to start my business three years before it actually did. And I kept going back to being sort of more self-employed. I’ve never really had a traditional job per se very often… I still was scared to start my own business because I never really came from a family that did that or where that was the thing to do. However eventually someone just told me at you no more than some of the small businesses about marketing online. And if you know more you can bring them forward”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“figure out and manage your stress… If you are not at your best it’s really hard for you to serve your team and to serve your customers and your clients and to serve your family and all of those other things… So, you need to take care… It usually stems from your mental health first. And of course, if your mental health is clear then you will take care of your physical health and so forth. But you must address that, you must find time, downtime from your business so that you can see the trees from the forest and that you can do these things. It’s imperative. You can’t outwork everything… So that you can think clearly and be stress free”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Matthew Hunt:
- “I don’t think that you actually have to be friends with someone to actually get a mentor. I would say some of my closest mentors are people I’ve never even met and they change my thinking and the way I go about approaching life and business”
- “Naïvetivity goes a long way. There is a reason why you see more younger entrepreneurs than older entrepreneurs. Not that older entrepreneurs cannot do this, of course they can and they should as well to. But if you knew how much work and how many things you were going to screw up and how much pain you are going to experience in the process nobody would do it… The most important thing for people to do is just take massive action and just get started”
- “you need to be resourceful in life”
- “you need to be willing to work hard, work harder and work smarter- you need both at the same time to really find the success that you are looking for”
- “I got lucky in my life where this kind of happened organically. However, I don’t believe this is the case for most people and they kind of set themselves up to fail. What I mean by this is if you want success you have to understand how the human brain works. And it’s really simple we move towards pleasure and we move away from paying. And you can’t control it. No one is strong enough to control that. And usually the mistake that people make is they make their goals and what they want to accomplish too big. What you actually have to do is make a whole bunch of little tiny simple goals. Almost ones that are engineered where you cannot fail because success begets success . If you are experiencing success continue to keep moving towards it. However, if you are experiencing failure and usually you are experiencing failure because you bit off too much to chew you made a goal that was unattainable and not realistic you tend to not move towards it which moves you away from it ”
- “most problems that people have always extend back to a mindset problem. So, for example if you think you’ve a sales problem then you proper have a lead gen problem, and if you have a lead gen problem you properly have a positioning problem, and if you have a positioning problem you properly have a mind-set problem. It’s usually mindset problems that show up in our business”
- “you might as well just enjoy your life and go for it”
- “do what makes you happy”
