For this week's podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Gary Schoeniger, founder of the Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative.
Gary has a really interesting story -- from dead broke desperate handyman to successful entrepreneur.
Over the last 15 years, he has interviewed hundreds of successful
entrepreneurs to discover which skills are critical for starting and
running a business. Many are not what you think.
My favorite advice from the interview:
"Find a problem. Figure out how to solve the problem. Find more people with the same problem and you have a business."
I
like that Gary's views make me think. I have been in "do what you love
(and work and work and work and work) and the money will follow" mode
for so long that the "problem/solution" model was very intriguing.
