Entrepreneurial Role Models:
Samson’s Dad and Father-in-law
When business started difficulties overcame:
“The biggest challenge is just embracing the role of being an entrepreneur and what does that actually mean? What is that identity and how do you actually make it happen. There is not a playbook or a roadmap that says you are going to do this and then you are going to do that and then step three is this. There is a lot of learning that had to go into it. But I was very fortunate within my career to be intrapreneurial within some organisations where I got to focus on maybe building a department not necessarily having to go and build a business. And slowly but surely over time learned how to bring all of those other pieces together until now I have a really strong operating framework on how a business works that I can apply to any business.”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“Make sure that you are building a business that accommodates your lifestyle design. I see a lot of people build businesses that don’t actually support their ultimate life goals and they find themselves years later not entirely happy in their business or maybe not able to maximise the business to the greatest level because they aren’t ultimately not loving what they are doing”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Samson Jagora:
- “I would have sought out mentorship much sooner. You can find a good mentor by either adding value to them or literally physically giving them your money to coach you and develop you and train you to get you to the outcome that you want to get to… It saves you from making all of the mistakes. You don’t know what you don’t know. It’s the quickest way from point A to point B. Success generally leaves clues. And so, I am just following in their footsteps and then once I have a concept of the core business then I can go and make it my own, then I can add my own flavour”
- “I think the number one secret to success is consistency. Most people greatly over estimate what they can get done in the year and undervalue what they can get done in say 3 to 5 years. It’s just a cultural thing people do things and don’t see immediate results and so they give up. And so is that ability to just stay at it consistently and it could take years”
- “Time, cost and quality – you can have two but you can never have three. Your time is incredibly valuable. If cost is the only metric that you use to make a decision on whether you hire someone then you are stepping over dollars to pick up dimes”
- “it’s very easy to start doing things and feel that you are making progress but it’s a lot more challenging to go slow to go fast and really be calculated in your approach and your strategy. It might take you six months to execute on it but that six months goal and strategy can send your business and your operations like years ahead where you could have spent the last year doing a bunch of stuff”
- “I’ve always applied that to my life and my business to make sure that I am making that best decision that is going to lead to the biggest result and not just doing it because I feel like I need to be doing something”
