What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?

Most frustrating is raising money... Good ideas are sometimes really hard to fund.

What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs/innovators make?

Underestimate how much they can make, overestimate the projections and under fund the business. Accurate projections make the business run much more smoothly.

What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?

Life is beautiful.
Time is precious.
All ideas are good ideas. We must build them.

What makes an idea attractive to investors?

I have not answered this question yet. But I think it's overstated projections.

Full bio

I have a short life in the corporate American structure working for a big box retailer. I went on to produce and promote a few of South Florida's most prominent Hispanic events as well as Miami Hip Hop Festival (1998).  

Since then, I have gone on to own mobile billboard advertising vehicles. Create creative marketing and promotional campaigns, work with celebrity and sports stars.  Build several micro companies bot brick and mortar and web/app based.

I love trying new things.  Never made the big money, but lived some serious astonishing experiences.

Connect with me. Would love to hear from all of you.
