41. Always listening. Always applying. Always creating.

This is Frank Bell’s formula for success as an entrepreneur.

In this interview, it became clear that people consistently brought Frank the idea for his next company. They saw the problem in the marketplace. Frank’s gift was that he was standing in front of them when they told him about it, and he listened.

Then Frank would take the time to research the idea. And he would do it by talking to the people who would benefit from the concept and see what they thought about it. Then he would look for a company model that was already working and improve upon it.

In very short order, Frank started another new company. Some of these companies grew into profitable small companies. A couple grew to become substantial successes. 

There is a lot to be learned from Frank on how to start from scratch. He makes it look easy!
