As all entrepreneurs will say, "surround yourself with good people". That is the hardest thing : finding good people.

There are differences in the businesses themselves, but the fundamentals are the same: give customers a good experience, charge them a reasonable price, listen to them, and treat them with respect.

No one looks for pots of gold, it just happens. Sure, some people are born with an incredible financial ability, and some people are natural salesmen, but creating a business, driving a venture, mobilizing an army, is not something you are born to do - it just happens, by accident.

Today, where you come from seems less and less important, as globalization is the new order. I prefer the old world.

I think most entrepreneurs would refer to themselves as "accidental". No one looks for stress and pain. You stumble on to it.

Entrepreneurs need to listen. They don't need to be good listeners (although it can only help) but they need to know when to listen.

I could actually do a lot more if I didn't have things go wrong. So, what I am trying to do now is stay light on the parasites. If you are not drained by anyone you can do way more.
