“The goal as an entrepreneur shouldn't be to just continue to work on random ideas in perpetuity. The goal is to find something and to spend all waking energy on that thing.” -Derek Andersen
This week, I had a profound conversation with Derek Andersen, Founder and CEO of Startup Grind and Bevy. Entrepreneurs are visionaries but it takes more than bright ideas for a business to thrive and be firmly grounded. We must make sure we are creating a space where our creativity meets our target audience. I had a lot of insights as Derek and I unbox a lot of good stuff around bootstrapping and profitable hiring. Derek points out where entrepreneurs should direct their resources to ensure they’re not killing their own vision. On top of that, he also gives us some direct and rational tips on getting over failures, creating the future we want, hiring efficiently, and so much more! Evidently, those who we choose to work with have the ability to dictate our results. If your vision includes going from local to global, this link will get you there!
