TMBA 251: The Entrepreneurial Quest
Podcast | Download | Stitcher | iTunes
This week, we're talking about the four elements of the "Hero's Quest" that every entrepreneur embarks on. This episode is all about looking back and understanding the first six months of taking off on a new project or a new business, the struggle that it is, and how valuable that can end up being on the narrative of your life. We also answer some listener questions, including one about cold calling a huge corporation to make a sale.
Listen to this week's show and learn:
The pros and cons of a software business versus a product business as a first entrepreneurial venture.
How to find the turning point in your quest and capitalize on it.
What you can do to develop your own opportunities that don't need to be within existing scripts.
Why you need to forget about the real world sometimes and build yourself a new one.
How to identify and overcome the obstacles on your path to success.
