KEY TAKEAWAYS

Knowledge and education are one of the most crucial things that you can do for you to be successful in your life or business. You may drop out of school because you have maybe found a business opportunity, and you go and start that business and it makes you money for the first time, but then you realize that you need to improve your skills in running this business. For you to do this, you need to learn what you need to do to acquire better skills and run your business perfectly leading to scale-up in your business.

When you make a product, you don't expect people to come right away and buy from you and they do not have any information about the product and what it can do for them, you have to advertise it. Let people know about your product. Hire a marketing professional if you have to because marketing is also a key factor in the success of your business. After this, you will now have the sales that you want because people are aware of what you are offering to them and they want to try it.

Why you need to go public as a company. It's a really good way to keep control of the company while raising significant capital to achieve growth. When you're thinking about how to raise capital when you're at the stage where you've got several options, you can get private investment, VC investment, a lot of these come with a lot of restrictions and covenants and issues, going public presents you with a different set of issues, but a set of issues that is more conducive with you controlling the direction of the company and being able to achieve ambitious growth.
Have a great team behind you that is always looking out for you and always wants what’s best for you. Having a great team will help you balance your personal life, your business life and even the growth of your business will be great.

Do not exchange your purpose for money, that is, never sell that thing that makes you wake up every morning because if you sell it even for millions of money, what will you do with all that money now that you don’t have any purpose in your life? Most probably you will just waste all that money on irrelevant things.

Life is an infinite game and the perfect balance for you is to be ambitious and to go after worthy causes while realizing that you don't need to achieve them.

Believe in yourself and you will see wonders. If you have a great idea and your instincts tell you it's a great idea, go for it even when people try to tell you not to do it. To be an entrepreneur, you have to be willing to take that risk for you to succeed in life and business.

BEST MOMENTS

“When organizations they go public after change a lot because the financial reporting changes drastically.”

“As entrepreneurs, if there isn't a girlfriend or there aren’t kids or there isn't something else that's making you create time, then you'll just fill it with work.”

“Balance is a bit of a myth for entrepreneurs because the business always feels like the priority.”

“Buy nice things, but don’t buy them into the pretence that they're going to make you feel better about yourself.”

“Do not exchange your purpose for money.”
“You are already enough.”

“Happiness is defined as progress towards a worthy goal.”

“The best journeys are ones where you never arrive.”

“It’s a misuse of energy and time to prove people wrong, you have so many people that already care for you.”

“Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right.”
