Show Notes:
To break the ice, I asked Jack, “When you were little, who was your favorite superhero and why?”
He responded, “My superhero is a controversial figure; Mr. Donald Trump who is now the US President. Right before he became the US President, as written in my book, how I started my entrepreneurial journey has to do with him. I have been following ‘The Apprentice’ for a long time. His no-nonsense business strategies and how he picks himself up from bankruptcy, etc. I have learnt a lot from him.”
We went on to talking about some mistakes made by people before they even start creating their businesses.
Some questions I asked Jack throughout the interview are:
- How did you get started in business?
- What did you do when you decided to start your own business?
- What is your book, ‘Cracking the Entrepreneur Code” about?
- What are the top 3 mistakes made by people before they even start creating their businesses?
- Share your strategy/formula for identifying passion…
Main Take-Aways:
Having no job means you have the choice of creating your future. You can control your destiny.
Commitment leads to confidence which leads to competence
The culture of going to school, study hard and get good grades so you can land a good job, then retire and enjoy the rest of your life – is a very traditional mindset.
