My guest entrepreneur joining us on the top rated Join Up Dots free podcast interview is an entrepreneur, writer and business success.
He’s the #1 bestselling author of The Connection Algorithm and Hustle, as well as an original cofounder of PlayQ Inc.
He is a guy who is getting out there and flexing the old hustle muscle everyday.
Which is really impressive as there was a time that his future could have been so very different.
But this guy doesnt lack motivation and is simply inspirational as you will find out in todays podcast.
As he says in his own words “I grew up in a small suburb outside of Washington DC.
After surviving the public schooling system, I attended the University of Michigan, graduating four years later with a heap of debt and a flimsy certificate saying I wasn’t dumb.
Life after college was painfully dull.
Two years after graduation, I was bored to death, working at a consulting firm in New York City. So, I quit my job and cofounded a startup, which went on to generate millions of dollars. I worked there for seven years, but I was eventually fired for being (admittedly) combative and generally useless. Battling intense fear and self-doubt, I picked myself back up again and decided to write a book.
I’ve taken a lot of risks in life, succeeded at a few things, and failed at many―but the world has never let me down.
After each failure, I’m presented with new opportunities.
Along the way, I’ve met some incredible people who repeatedly support my endeavours despite my shortcomings.
I like that point of view.
No actually I love that point of view.
That is pure motivation on every level.
After each failure, I’m presented with new opportunities.
Because that is the truth, when you are developing an entrepreneurial venture, or going for the dreamlife you will fail often.
But through those failings you will learn, you will learn what worked, what didn’t work and where you need to focus your energies.
So what got him started when most people would have settled into the boredom and accepted their place in the scheme of things?
And how do you overcome those huge doubts right at the beginning, when you have no experience to fall back on, or fragile belief that things will work out in the end?
Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr Jesse Tevelow
