Entrepreneur Fred Cary has decades of experience under his belt. He has successfully started many companies from scratch and generated billions of dollars in value. Cary is a former attorney, investor, musician, investment banker, and much more, though his latest initiative is to help aspiring entrepreneurs start their own companies. He estimates that over a half a million people in America alone start a business each month, not to mention many others in various countries on the seven continents.
Cary has seen a lot of advice for entrepreneurs on the internet and he concluded that a lot of it isn’t accurate, and some is downright a scam. What he wants to achieve is to provide real tips and strategies to aspiring business owners to help them with a few major things: choosing their niches, testing their ideas, and properly forming their companies. His method is unique in many ways.
Cary makes a few crucial distinctions. “When you go to university or business school and get your degree and education, you’re essentially trained to work for somebody else and make them money. You’re making another person rich, not yourself. And so you’ll always end up being the employee, not the boss. What I want to teach people is how to be the one that’s in charge and that benefits from the business. You should pour your passion and hard work into your own venture,” Cary shares.
Mindset and putting focus in the right places are key to Fred Cary. “Your mindset is what will determine whether you succeed or fail. You know, if there’s one certain thing that all of the big name entrepreneurs out there share, it’s failure. They aren’t strangers to it. They have failed time and again. Look at Thomas Edison and his light bulb. He failed so many times until he finally got it right. So in the end, it’s the mindset that will determine whether you get back up and start again, or give up and go home,” shares Cary.
Another key understanding that’s necessary for having a successful business is knowing that control sometimes may be unobtainable. “Look at 2020 and the pandemic. This whole situation exposed the fact that we can’t always control things. Instead of panicking, we need to find ways to see the situation from a new perspective and a different angle. It’s not always about control. It’s about mindset and pivoting. If the outside world is interfering with your business, there isn’t a whole lot to do about it except find another way,” Fred points out.
Fred Cary brings motivation and positivity to his thousands of Instagram followers every morning. He tries to give them a boost of confidence and to teach them how to be more emotionally agile through thick and thin. Moreover, he truly listens to his followers in order to understand what it is that they struggle with most and find creative ways to help them overcome it – and he answered every single message he gets, tens of thousands a month. “Listening is key,” says Cary, adding, “You have to build a successful routine for yourself that will keep you grounded.”
