Today, Brian is a millionaire, but in order to succeed, he had to work hard and survive more than one disappointment.
Studied from my own bitter experience
“My entrepreneurial spirit has always been strong, but I was not a native of the business, and I had no one to learn from. I made some really big mistakes managing my first company and almost brought the business and myself to bankruptcy. I was in debt a quarter of a million, to somehow rectify the situation, rented my apartment to strangers and slept on the couch.At one moment I reached the point where I knew that I had absolutely nothing to lose, and was ready to simply go mad with it. lie down and die, I could become a passive observer about the end of my life, but something deep inside me refused to accept this option. Therefore, I resisted. "
Took control
“I started reading self-help books, went to seminars and realized that I was in full control of the situation and I realized that it was only my fault that happened to me. I decided to fight, in spite of failures, to do, not die. I have to I had to accept and acknowledge the fact that I myself was the root of all my problems, and I had to put together a work ethic to fit my new image, so I tried, rushed and worked with the realization that I could fail again and lose everything. Success was not guaranteed. I got out of debt in and headed to his first million dollars. "
Do what is possible
“Everyone wants success, and yet so many people restrain themselves. They do not allow themselves to follow their dreams. They remain at the source, not using their chance. Everyone has the opportunity to give a push, just many do not know it. to succeed, you must strive to do everything possible and even impossible on the way to your goal if you really want to succeed. Being an entrepreneur is seductive. Many people strive to build something from scratch, but they lack the stamina to withstand difficulties. Sometimes many people can’t even imagine what they are capable of. My own success sometimes surprised me, but not because I didn’t think I could do it, but because I could achieve more than I planned. "
Today, most companies are faced with slow development and uncertainty about which strategy they should develop in the first place.Many have plans and unique ideas, but lack the resources and time to implement everything. As practice shows, to solve such problems it is only necessary to find professionals who have previously encountered exactly the same ones and consult with them. It was this idea that prompted me to open a special university, which gives me the opportunity to see the strategies, principles and tools of professionals who were able to survive all the problems and create successful companies and brands. "
The future of entrepreneurship
“We live in a time when everyone can pretend to be a successful entrepreneur. After all, nothing special is needed for this. You can rent an expensive car, trend things and play a game. But nothing will change from this: neither your status, nor your financial situation. Therefore, it’s not worth spending time dusting your eyes, it’s better to do work. It will be hard, but it’s work that will bring you prosperity and self-affirmation. I think that the future lies with people who clearly understand that they should with to create a huge amount of material assets in order to develop a business. "
