I was invited to speak to a group of young people (focused on real estate and entrepreneurship). They submitted questions in advance and organizers of the events posted them to me.
There are so many successful entrepreneurs here and reality is, this upcoming event isn't about me. The worst thing I can do is to stand on a soap box and tell them all about me, me and me... I hate it when people do that. Instead, I'd love to offer them something actionable and valuable.
This is where I hope FLF folks can help me dial in better and more actionable answers.
How would YOU answer the following questions?
On Entrepreneurship
Using some of your responses, I hope to be more helpful to the 20-30 years olds attending. And best of all, some readers here may also find it useful.
Tagging: @MJ DeMarco (although you've done enough explaining in your books, feel free to ignore this thread!), @Kak @SteveO @fastlane_dad @NeoDialectic @MoneyDoc @MTF (please tag anyone else that I may have missed but would be awesome at adding value here).
Thanks in advance for your time!

How would YOU answer the following questions?
On Entrepreneurship
- Early on in your career, how did you stand out from the crowd? How does one stand out from the crowd now?
- What does the idea of “work-life balance” mean to you? How did manage your work life balance in your career? My understanding is that most entrepreneurs/company founders have to work around the clock.
- Many folks, including those in the audience, have a business idea that they want to bring into reality. What are the possible next steps? What questions should they be asking themselves? How to get past the “what now?” stage and get traction?
- How did you transition from working for employers to working for yourself?
- How did you “stay the course”? Looking back, if you had to do it all again, were there other career choices/paths you would be interested in trying (other industries etc.).
- Who do you look up to as a mentor?
- How do you go about business development and securing new clients/investors?
- What was the first project you worked on as an entrepreneur? What projects are you currently working on?
- When you are looking to hire a young professional (like someone in the audience) what would be your recommendation to be a strong applicant?
- What does the future of your business look like?
