The Most Important Lessons Learned as An Entrepreneur

[projectbrumaire]

WRONG

after 22 its all down hill

[slapcompany]

When you don’t know what true for you, everyone else has unusual influence.

Values are deeply held personal beliefs that form your own priority code for living.

Values are the individual biases that allow you to decide which actions are true for you alone.

What are your values?

[spcoastie]

Ryan,

I've never heard of you before but you are an eloquent man and I will take your advice. Very well spoken from the heart and thanks for sharing the info. I have a strong suspision you WILL be a Senator or.......%$#@*&%*^ one day ;)

[phinoy666]

GOALS is the most important lesson in my opinion..

[Smartavideo]

Ryan! Great advice. I think you are on the right track. Check out Smarta for more inspiration or resources for entrepreneurs!

[ElPopularVale]

same shit everybody says

[MoneyWizKid]

Thanks for this. Really learned a lot.

[GrahamCrackerStudios]

Very good.

[Topgeneral3070]

i love this stuff it really is a great inspiration

[ferratas]

I think business plans are overrated. Sure, there is a benefit to think everything through and put it on paper. However, how many times does life go exactly as planned? I say, Fire then aim!

[clintonskakun]

That's why focus is important:)

[robertnorthtown]

he's no tim ferris. ferris would sidekick him in the face

[Amtrepreneur]

two thumbs up!

[bobbydredge]

This guy is taking the secret, along with every other self motivating speaker, and using their advice. Nothing wrong with it, but he should give his sources some credit

[12643]

I never thought of myself as entrepreneur when I started my business. Goals are very important and must enjoy what your doing so you have the passion to beat your competition and deliver a better product.

My fat useless cunt brother claims to be a successful entrepreneur. It's been his dream to be a homo-erotic artist, he has had quite a few orders for cock drawings from customers, word has spread, and business is booming now. I never realised there was such a market for this game. I just worry that his hobby has now turned into a full time job, he could be risking burn out. Entrepreneurs....beware, don't overload, enjoy it.

[spackwit]

Yeah I have one of your brothers artistic dong drawings. Sorry it's not actually mine it is for my er friend. Anyroad point is don't risk burn out I run a successful business selling DVDs at the bootsale. I can do this and claim the dole too1 Result eh? As business picks up I will employ some of the local scroats if he tries to fiddle me I will kick fuck out of him. I will keep you posted and more business tips next week the subject staff being staff moral.

[cumguzzlar]

Any more tips this week then? Sounds like you have a superb relationship with your workforce, discipline is the key. Do you take a slice of your workers dole money too? I do, it was the first thing i did when i took over here. I am running a rather successful pickpocketing operation now, our turnover is up 18% on last year despite the credit crunch, not bad eh?

[spackwit]

Guys, My staff moral is excellent. I dress up like Amon Goeth from 'Schindlers list' and I like to use my airifle to take pot shots at any skiving staff. I also have an idle, fat, gypo, cunt of the week award. This is in honor of my beloved brother. Whoever is the lucky winner he must work the following week for no wages and he must also work even harder. Next weeks business tips staff recruitment.

[Infalna]

You need to develop a good business plan. One that outlines what you plan to do, how you will do it, and why it works. Then its just a matter of finding someone to pitch it to, but if your business plan is solid then it shouldn't be too hard.

[Chipperchocobo]

I have a business that I launched, that has to do with theming various types of business. I have the knowledge and know how.I want to start my OWN business as a prototype, but a pitch for a $35,000 themed idea may be hard. I have the skill to completely do all the art and design as well as the labor for fixtures and everything else with just my husband and I (it takes up very little space). How do you pitch something that has a market but costs so little for a start up?

[juntao65]

You don't. You get seed money from credit cards/ other sources for money.

[Peacenik]

[howbert123]

lifes not promised tomorrow

[chaoscontrot]

Very true friend, however the AVERAGE (not maximum) human life span is about 75 years or so, which means some may die at 50, and some may die at 100. Life is on average a long lengthy endeavor, ad it is well worth it to take the time to make it as successful as possible. Even only 25 years of hard work and prosperity is far preferable to 25 years of doing nothing.

[ironsheik3]

[seantaych]

Good point. We tend to overestimate what we can achieve in 5 years but grossly underestimate what we can achieve in 10 years.

[virgoom]

NO WAY, my birthday is also August 14th.

I have heard so many successful entrepreneur talk about how to become a successful entrepreneur and it is all the same message and closely related to what you are talking about.

Cheers.

[Emmanuel05]

Thank You for your insightful thoughts and ideas. Its Inspiring no doubt.

[Devv77]

very inspirational !

[almac4]

What is your company?

[marceilbeck]

great video

[FreeknNasty]

Good on you Ryan. I am 43 and still trying to be successful. You are proof that even we older people can learn a great deal from younger people. And more importantly, be motivated by them.

[biz4kids]

Let's empower kids to learn how to be entrepreneurs early on in life. Schools should teach the subject, after all these kids are either going to work for a company (profit or non profit) or create their own path by owning businesses. Let's really teach them real life lessons. Why do we still have to follow the industrial age style of education while we are in digital, service- oriented age?

[Introsept]

What type of challenges did you encounter when trying to convince people (much older than you) that you knew what you were talking about. I'm learning that selling my self is an essential skill, but I feel as though some people are truly hard to convince. Esp people over 35 or so who have been with a company for years.

[theeplane]

great video!

[l3inad]

Cool man,,

jus thought u need to hv sum meaning of ur life,

anyway , u had ur success at a vry young age, im 20.

how old r u?

[ryanallis]

Hi Chagment. I view as positive change any change that builds stronger societies and encourages us as humans to understand that we are one humanity and that we should embrace and care for each other, rather than kill one another.

[chagment]

what do you think counts as positive change, and why do you value it as positive?

[ryanallis]

Yeah I realized that :-). Although it is short, life should be played like a long term game and quality relationships should be built for the long term.

[DoQrs]

Interesting note: In the first response, the first thing you say is that "life is short, there is no reason.."

Where as the first think you say in this question response is "life is long, most young entrepreneurs have 40-50 years".

Well, which is it?

[vetoali]

basically "life is short but don't rush through it"

[NathanielMc]

great video Ryan! Can't wait for #3.
