In this one hour interview with Mixergy's founder Andrew Warner, I share my personal experience building start-ups over the past 15 years. Andrew being the curious and passionate interviewer that he is dug in deep with lots of good questions which focused mainly on how to attract great talent and inspiring people to join your movement. Despite me looking like "haircut boy" and being blinded out by afternoon sunshine, I think the interview worked at pulling out some helpful tips useful to any start-up looking to grow a successful venture and go big.
Some of the key lessons we discussed in depth in the video:
1) Mapping out and defining your personal mission on paper
2) Making a list of those you want on your team as advisors, investors, mentors
3) Finding out how you can get access to those individuals via your own connections
4) The importance of building relationships overtime and establishing trust over time
5) The importance of asking for advice
6) You have the choice so why not stand for something big and focus on meaningful work
7) How going green virtually is more than building efficient companies, but is a about building a happy and healthy culture and environment for your team to thrive
8) Setting big goals and making them happen
9) The importance of having a billion dollar board member (someone who has built a company from scratch and scaled it to over a billion in revenue)
10) Not being afraid to ask...
Hopefully there's some practical wisdom in the session you may be able to use to help you. And as always, feel free to connect and ask questions anytime...
