Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“Get around other successful people that you aspire to be. You know the famous Jim Rohn quote of ‘you become the average of the five people that you spend the most time with’ if you hear that and you shrug it off it’s probably because you are not surrounded by the right five people. And until you actually experience that and you realise that you are in the room with four other incredible people and you are learning from them and you are trying to help them in creating something really cool. To me that is what has significantly elevated and changed my life personally for the better”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Adam Zach:
- “sometimes I confused motion with progress. I think as entrepreneurs we feel like we have to be productive, we have to be doing something. But for me what would have helped is if I had just sat back and said no more. So, saying no to things earlier to eventually get there… There was a lot of lost time and capital into some things that just weren’t a good fit”
- “for sure it was getting around like-minded people… I can listen to a podcast and different books but it is pretty one-way. When it’s a two-way conversation like this and you are throwing ideas on a whiteboard and you are getting multiple points of view and you almost have your own personal board of advisers. That was just amazing for me to just breakdown some limiting beliefs but then seeing how other people are doing it”
- “I think being able to constantly learn. I have a magnificent obsession with learning and it’s always trying to learn something from someone. So that cyber books, it’s podcasts, it’s other people and just staying curious about life realising that yeah there are some things that you are really good at that you probably own but there’s also a lot opportunities to grow. And the more and more I learn the more I realise there is so much more to learn and the more I realise that I don’t know … So just constantly and never stop learning”
- “if you create a really compelling vision and you can get people to follow it you can do amazing things”
