If i were to be completely honest in assessing/summarizing Hanberg's discussion with us, I'd have to say it was super helpful. Like you could tell the dude has been through some shit and has seen all the highs and lows of working as an entrepreneur. Just to highlight a few of my favorite points he discussed....
-You gotta work. Everyone has ideas, but an entrepreneur is the man that follows through and makes it a business. With this point, I really took to heart that to really make it, you need to work you ass off. Like what he said about cutting out T.V. time because the average person watches 40 hours of T.V. a week and that is like a full time job. Granted people do need to unwind because too much work will cause the person to off himself in the bathroom with a .357 and painkillers.
-Enjoy the work. If you don't like what you are doing, then it isn't going to work out. 'nuff said.
-the 3 standard questions to ask before you get into something. do you want to do it? does it pay what you want it to pay? does it further your career? if you can say yes to 2 out of the 3 then do it.
I also like what he told me when i asked him about working for free. Combined with the professor's input, i should be able to make some sound decisions.
