When business started difficulties overcame:
“I learned everything from the grassroots because I wasn’t comparing it to being an employee or seeing a business in operation. And the closest business I saw was really what my dad did as a farmer in some ways. He was a reluctant entrepreneur frankly… and I watch that and I saw ways to improve even that. When I started out, I was a young kid, I was a teenager and I just started figuring out what does it take to have a profitable business? So, the things I overcame certainly was being very, very young, not having any money, not having any real-life mentors there or training at that point. But it didn’t deter me”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Dan Miller:
- “I started so young and I just learned everything as I grew both in knowledge and in training and in age. So, I can’t back the clock up far enough to be before I started because as soon, I could walk and breathe I was thinking about the very ideas that we are talking about here”
- “I think if you are going to have long-term success it is compassion, integrity, respect. It’s those things that keep relationships going. And it’s the relationships that fuel success. If You burn those bridges, destroy relationships you are going to be starting over again and again and again. And a lot of entrepreneurs do that. There is a really popular concept about the entrepreneurial rollercoasters where every month you are starting over again. You will do that if you are burning relationships but even if you have a model where you want to sell books or courses or coaching or speaking engagements, those kinds of things if you burn relationships you are going to be starting over every month. If you nurture those relationships with integrity and respect you build momentum. It’s not starting over ever; you are always growing from past success. And we can choose which model we want to do”
- “I love change”
- “I have a team around me where we have some real amazing experts”
- “I talked to somebody who are 65 years old and they were a CEO of the company and now with everything that has happened, the company is bankrupt and they feel like wow they have nothing and it is too late. No, it’s not too late. You don’t go back to what you were when you were 18 years old, you bring the accumulation of knowledge, experience, maturity, wisdom. All those things with you. Wow you can recapture whatever it is you want to recapture so much more quickly when you have a little bit of age behind you. But it’s never too late to have a new beginning. It doesn’t matter if you are 18 or 88”
