In this episode, the Mayor of Podcast Town, Elzie Flenard, interviews Andy Weins, a 4th generation entrepreneur. Andy talks about what helps people succeed in the entrepreneurial world, the difference between being a business owner vs being an entrepreneur - which gets confused a lot. He discusses the benefits of being your own boss, struggles with focus, and working with clients on both the front-end and the back-end.
How does Andy stand out? Hear the story from the tattooed 6’4 guy with camo pants.
Episode Highlights:
04:07 All along the way, I always knew there was a better way of doing something and I always thought of better ways of doing things.
04:35 Are you willing to do the hard work, and the simple work, all the time? If you’re afraid of work, you can’t be an entrepreneur.
07:23 I want to maximize the value of things and people and places, so that’s how I got into environmental consulting.
09:08 If I want to grow my business, I have to go to networking events, which I might not love doing.
11:38 Once you find the problem that people have then you apply the solution and you communicate it effectively, and you solve the problem.
17:12 Observe, Orient, Decide, Act - and that’s what you do as a business leader
19:05 The way you win over the “sometimes” people is by being genuine, honest and unapologetic, and being in love with your craft.
