10: Andrew Nakkache | Founder and CEO Habitat

Share Your Idea With Everyone A lot of entrepreneurs think that people are going to steal it. Yeah people can steal your idea, but no one will have as much passion or desire to move things forward. Lead By Example You being the CEO/Co-Founder, your attitude consistently reflects back onto your team. Being the leader you have to be the first one in the office and the least to leave. You also have to be eager to learn more be optimistic. Showing emotion may make people nervous that the business isn't doing as well as they think it's doing, or it may make them uncomfortable with the direction that you're trying to take the business. Don't Quit (Taken from Minute 15) Andrew suggests to just dive right into your business. When Habitat started, they knew nothing about tech. They barely used apps, but every day they worked on their business, the vision became more clear. When creating your business, you should be paranoid as hell, that someone is catching up or working on beating you out! This amount of pressure has allowed Andrew to continue to move forward. Lastly, by not quitting, you will learn a tremendous amount of grit. Andrew mentions to "weather the storm and be quick to get over things. So many student startups have great ideas but they miss that person that keep driving everything forward." #Timestamp 00:30 Introduction to Andrew 3:00 Introduction to Habitat 6:00 Struggles in Finding the Right Team 6:45 Failure 8:00 Habits- Always Trying to Learn More 11:30 Resources that Andrew can not live without 15:00- Golden Start-up Advice 17:30 Is there a formula to success? 19:25- Sharing, Leading By Example, Don't Quit Andrew Nakkache Email: [email protected] Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewnakkache Twitter: https://twitter.com/habitatmarket Business Website: https://tryhabitat.com __________ Techie, Millennial Author, WWE Fan, Podcaster.
