JT’s Success Tips: Take advantage of seed funding –if you have an idea or plan that you love, present it to an investor/investors. With grants and seed funding, you don’t typically give away equity or royalties. If you meet the right criteria, you can get ahold of seed money with just a good idea! One of the best things an entrepreneur can do is fail and learn, but fail well enough to continue what you’re doing. When building a network, forge genuine connections of friendship. Don’t make connections solely for the purpose of getting something out of it. Be organized. Have a calendar or to-do list of things you would like to accomplish. Often, just saying or thinking you need to do something will result in you forgetting. So, write it down! Motivation and Advice: “Find a partner and lover who is at your level and brings out the best in you and supports what you’re doing!” Mission Review Mrs. Paik: Don’t give into your failures. Push yourself to keep going. Mr. Paik: Don’t be too focused on money, have a mission. Want a FREE 1 month trial on audiobooks?
