Follow me on Product Hunt!

A business at the beginning needs someone who can make the product and someone who can sell it. It's important to partner or work with people who have both competence and vision. Those are the best teams. Illustration by @kiaski_artist Read the rest at #growingstartup.com #team #entrepreneur #startups #growingstartup #growthhacking #business

This book is the autobiography of Michael Bloomberg. He is the founder of Bloomberg LP According to Forbes magazine his net worth is 40.9 billion USD (2015) Purpose: I read this book to understand what it takes to build a technology and media company that is both private and profitable. Even after being told he was going to be fired, he still worked up to 12 hours a day until his final day. What I got from this was to keep doing what is right and not allow circumstances to ruffle you. Lesson: At the time he was fired, he had gotten a deep understanding and unique insight into two things that would help him start his own business. He had a deep knowledge of the securities, investing and of how technology could be used to make the financial world efficient. Many people work at places for years and do not learn enough to be exponentially more valuable and productive than before they got hired. This is a mistake. Years ago, when I was employed by someone else, I made sure I was a sponge and studied every piece of knowledge I found valuable. Within 6 months after leaving, I had a freelance business that paid me over 4 times what I was receiving as salary from my previous employer. #autobiography #growingstartup #bloomberg #billionaire #entrepreneur

How to spot business opportunities #htsbo Many will just see this as a statistic but an entrepreneurs mind sees and entire economy and ecosystem. If parents still have comfort and solace that a degree will help their children then there's still a market for tertiary education, online courses with certifications & other education focused opportunities that can be sold to parents. #Growingstartup #entrepreneur #businessopportunity

I tell entrepreneurs that a president isn't as powerful as people think he is. There are many influential people who have little power. Many businesspeople obsess over politicians when they don't have to. There are different kinds of power(ability) ie political, financial, social,military and spiritual. Find out what change you want to make and what kind of power/ability best suits your purpose. #power #ability #politics #growingstartup
