Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Friends:

    Be very careful about starting your own business--most of them fail and it requires a lot of hard work and long hours. Be prepared for both.

  • How I responded:

    Network, network, network. Listen to people who have made it work. Be nice to people--you never know who will hire you next.
