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.
