Thread: My first Million-success stories

MY FIRST MILLION - in association with Orange Business Services

good stuff

I got alot of inspiration..

ahhh.... I love this forum

James Caan, absolutly the best of the interviews.

I started out as Caan too. You know, when you are new to entrepreneurship you are (most people are I might add) trying to sell an investment idea to lenders and/or investors. But they all turn you down and you think they are the biggest jerks on earth and that they are ignorant and all-in-all stupid idiots=).

But then when you grow older in the entrepreneurial shoes you start to understand why they turned you down and why they did this or why they treated you like that. And it all makes sense. It's like you have regained your eyes again. From blind to seeing individual.

Today I can only laugh at my naivite when I started out in business. I did so many mistakes that I wonder how I ever survived my first mistake. My very first mistakes where colossal. Chilly stuff.

Today I mentor other entrepreneurs just starting out in the startup industry. Some, or most of them, older than me. Some of them just as naive as I was a couple of years ago, some even smarter than me even (why the smart ones need me as a mentor is somewhat blurry..hehe). But it is fun to be a part of the process anyhow.

Good post and speed++

Finally had some time to look ... great vids. Speed+

Not sure if you know this, but James Caan is on Dragons Den here... he hates Peter Jones (Who's also on the panel)

I can't say i'm a fan of him, he comes across badly.
