On this episode of Real Talk University, Andre and Christian sat down with Jeff Hoffman, a serial entrepreneur best known for being part of the original team that started Priceline. Jeff has been a part of numerous other companies, including uBid.com and ColorJar. Outside of his businesses, Jeff is a published author, distinguished speaker, producer of a Grammy-winning jazz album, and an executive producer of an Emmy winning TV show. He shared a lot of knowledge in the interview, but here are the 3 main takeaways:
Go out in the world and see if people in your target audience are receptive of your idea. Having a million dollar idea is great, but if the people you try to sell it to don’t understand it, you will never succeed.
Skip parties and having fun now for massive success later on. While everyone's out partying in college, differentiate yourself by being one of the few who works on their craft on a Friday night. By consistently doing this, you will be massively successful and be able to attend more lavish parties as an adult.
Getting around people you idolize is possible, as long as you bring value to them. Successful entrepreneurs, influencers and celebrities are constantly flooded by people who want to be in their circle, so you need to make sure you have a value proposition for them if you want any chance of sticking around. If you do bring value to the table, fostering a relationship with someone you could previously only dream of meeting can be a real possibility.
