If you are an entrepreneur, why?
It's time to give back in my own creative way.
My favorite startups:
Frodo & the Fellowship quest. Yoga Mat Made ( can I say that? :)
What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?
Frustrating: there is no map to Moordor. Rewarding: I get to listen to all the voices inside my head.
What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs make?
Thinking they don't know.
What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?
1. I do know.
2. Kindness matters.
3. Do the work. All of it.
How do you prevent burn-out?
Gratitude! Not everyone is able/allowed the freedom to follow their dream. It's an honor to be able to do this.
What happens if your company doesn't "make it"?
Make what?
To follow your intention to help the world through your invention IS making it. The world is always a better place when someone has the courage to stand up, speak their creative mind, step forth with what they see as making a difference.
How do you handle regrets?
I hand them off.
Regrets are not to be handled or held onto but instead handed off to the you that once was but are no longer because of what you have now learned.
What do you do when your plans don't work out?
I work in.
Try to see the other side of the fabric. It's not necessarily bad when things don't follow your mental map. Be willing to see what is there as if it was a gift not an obstacle.
