Being an entrepreneur is a tough job, with a lot of ups and
downs. Combined with all the challenges the pandemic has created,
the journey can quickly become draining and one can reach the
bottom and lose motivation.
Hence the questions : How do entrepreneurs keep their motivation
levels high? Where do they find the strength to continue?
I've invited 4 successful entrepreneurs (and former guests) located
in 4 completely different business environments:
Laxmi
Gandhi, the founder of a boutique consulting company OPERAScale
in the USA, that specializes in go to market strategies
utilizing first principles thinking. She helps leaders get unstuck
and go back to the fundamentals of why they started their business
and communicate with clarity on what they are actually doing.
Richard
Burrage is the Managing Director of Cimigo, a boutique market research
agency that he founded in 2002 in Vietnam. He’s been living in Asia
since 1992, and has seen firsthand the transformation of the region
with all the challenges that came with it.
Maria
Frangieh is the Founder and Managing Director of SocialPrise, a digital marketing
agency based in Lebanon. She founded her company 15 years ago and
decided from the start to make it a 100% remote company. She knows
what challenge means operating in a country that has been
economically suffering over the past years.
Paul
Baker is the founder of St Pierre Groupe based in the UK,
a bakery business with a love of European Bakery. He bankrupted his
first business at the age of 17 and took 10 years before he got
back to entrepreneurship. He acquired St Pierre Groupe in 2002 and
one day decided that he’d conquer the American market, which he
did. That didn’t come without its challenges though.
