Today officially marks 3+ years as a full-time entrepreneur. π€― Four of the more important lessons I've learned so far: β
Your network is everything. It's like caring for plants. You have to make sure you're nurturing old relationships while you're building new ones. β
You can grow as fast as you're willing to struggle for. In year 1 I barely ate, was late on nearly every one of my bills, had my power turned off a couple of times, and rented out my extra rooms to make rent. Year 2 I won WI 25 under 25. Year 3 I gave a TEDx talk, spoke at INBOUND, launched my latest company, and signed a contract to be on an Amazon Prime Docuseries. Be aggressive, but more importantly be patient. β
Figuring out what makes you unique & valuable will take you far. "It's good to be better, but it's better to be different." Starbucks wasn't the first coffee shop. But they succeeded because they offered a different experience. β
Create around your passions. Brand is everything. I create a lot of content here. And just about every other platform. But I recently launched an esports and video games podcast. It's made everything else that I'm doing better. What lessons have you learned? #justQ ππΎπ€ #business #entrepreneurship πΈ Willie Morris
