Success Principles for the Aspiring Entrepreneur

The Take Action Podcast with David Adam Kurz

Are you prepared to eat, sleep and breathe your business? The early days of entrepreneurship require a focus and dedication beyond what most are willing to give. But the harder you work, the luckier you get, and those of you who implement success principles like continuous learning and unrelenting resilience are the ones who will see results. Today, I am joined by serial entrepreneur and good friend Alberto Montes. He has been involved in founding a number of successful businesses over the years, including Credit Repair Consultants and Sergio’s Catering. We begin by discussing the idea of failing forward, explaining how knowledge and preparation can minimize your risk. Alberto shares his entrepreneurial journey, describing the early days spent sleeping on the floor of his office—doing whatever it took to serve his customers. Alberto covers the role technology plays in extending our workdays, pointing out that what we are willing to do in the 24 hours we’re given is what really makes the difference. We also get real about learning from setbacks in business and offer insight around putting yourself in situations that push you to take the next step. Listen in for Alberto’s advice to aspiring entrepreneurs and learn how perseverance, self-belief and positivity can contribute to your success!
