What makes you stand out from others in your field?
I know a lot of entrepreneurs who stop pushing themselves after a few successful companies or projects. It’s really easy to get comfortable once you feel like you’ve “made it.” But I haven’t stopped. I launch a new entrepreneurial venture each year and have written three books so far.
How have you grown over the past 5 years?
I’ve learned that it’s best to give your energy to the big thing that can knock down all the other dominos. Figuring out how to prioritize and devoting my time to the highest value tasks has been huge.
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned in your career?
Any great achievement takes a team. You’re almost always better off working with someone who can provide a different perspective and set of abilities to whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish.
