I would like to publish a story quoted from 'TopUniversities' below. Undoubtedly, it will pay your attention to keeping your eyes open, for new opportunities. Dr Barry Nalebuff, the founder of Honest Tea, launched his business when he saw a gap in the beverage market. He found water to be boring, soda to be too sugary and diet drinks to be unhealthy, so teamed up with a former student to launch a new venture. The company’s popularity took off when Nalebuff was at a yoga retreat and spotted Oprah Winfrey. He offered her a sample and Honest Tea was subsequently featured in her magazine. Nalebuff notes: “When opportunity strikes, you have to be prepared for it.” Take-away: Many new ventures are created out of existing consumer problems, so keep your eyes open for business opportunities at all times. You never know when you’ll bump into Oprah!

Do you agree with me? || If you have $10 in your pocket and no debts, you are wealthier than 25% of Americans. That is why you must be content with what you hav

This is definitely one of my favourite stories. I got this from TopUniversities (https://www.topuniversities.com/student-info/careers-advice/5-lessons-learn-leading-entrepreneurs) @Hiten Shah, This is a story about your journey. Hiten Shah, the co-founder of the hugely successful analytics platform KISSmetrics, launched many failed products. He states his biggest failure was spending $1 million of his own money on a web hosting company that never even launched. Hiten says, “My co-founder and I were perfectionists so we built the best thing we could without even understanding what our customers cared about.” Take-away: Accept that failure is par for the course, but accepting and learning from your failures is paramount. (Accept failure as part of the journey)

Do you agree with me? || What should you specialize in? To state the obvious, it should be something in which you excel.

Who agrees with me? || Dear entrepreneurs, don't make customers dig deep for a phone number.

Who agrees with me? || Start simple and build on it over time. Trust me, It’s more difficult to simplify later.
