Dream Big Dreams

Quote of the Week:
"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." 
"If you can dream it, you can do it."
Walt Disney

This weeks topic was to Dream Big Dreams,  it was fun to hear people who had the courage to follow their dreams and hear about their successes and failures.
I interviewed a man who was named one of the top 35 entrepreneurs under 35 in the state of Arizona.  I learned so much from our interview and have some great take-aways as a result.
 When I asked him if he would have done anything different, he had this to say.

 " I would've brought on a partner sooner. I think partnerships, if done properly, can be really powerful.  I'm really proud of how open and emotionally intelligent our workplace is.. I would've done more of that sooner. I would swing bigger and take bigger risks.. time flies and there's no room for being too conservative! I would have been much more careful about hiring. The cost is super high for making a bad hire. I wouldn't have taken on customers just because they had money. I would be choosier with customers. Some people's money is greener than others.

I would have niched sooner. The more niche you are, the better the profit margins."

  

I loved the honesty about the risks of hiring bad employees and also the honesty about working with customers who aren't worth the money you may make.

My favorite quote from this interview is this, "I would swing bigger and take bigger risks, time flies and there's no room for being too conservative."
