Other Quotes From the Chat with Ken Dunn:
- “I realised that the times I enjoyed the most were actually when the business was growing, when it was hard. Now I live my life that way in my current business, but entrepreneurs get so broken down in the trouble of the day and the journey that they don’t know how to appreciate the gift that they have during the day”
- “You have to lead yourself first. You have to realise that if you have one employee or ten or fifty employees, your employees are always going to look to you as the example, and if they see someone that is not leading an ethical balanced life then they will model after that”
- “Have a real serious plan. An idea that you become so passionate about that you will not let that idea fail”
