BRX Pro Tip: Being an Entrepreneur is Like Being a Mountain Climber
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, you know I love analogies. I think it helps frame up a key principle or idea. And you shared one with me earlier today, being an entrepreneur is like being a mountain climber.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:18] Yeah. Being a mountain climber. You’re climbing the mountain, it’s treacherous. There’s all kinds of hurdles you have to get around. You have to overcome adversity. You need a team around you to get to the summit. And when you get to the summit, it’s important to pause and then see what’s there.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:37] And, invariably, if you’re an entrepreneur, you’re going to see another mountain as soon as you get to the top of the summit. And then, that’s just another hill for you to climb just ahead. And then, you have to kind of re-motivate yourself and find those supporters and cheerleaders and people that want to help you succeed and then go to that mountain and climb that.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:57] And that’s really the key. You have to have enough of the right people around you to go on this journey of entrepreneurship. It is not for everybody and it is not a solo operation. You need people around you to help you get to where you want to go because it is a long and winding road. So, find those right folks or you might not make it to the top.
