Ami Kassar once had a big, fat corporate job. Corporate suites at sporting events and a sweet, comfortable life.
Then that company went under.
While, as a nationally renowned expert on access to capital for entrepreneurs, he advises people to take time to figure out their next move, he instead started his new business the day after he was fired.
What started with a revenue of $13,000 a year has now turned into MultiFunding, a company that works with entrepreneurs with revenue between one and $20 million on growing their businesses.
And yet there have been failures along the way—times where he, metaphorically, struggled to keep the lights on. Still, he looks at entrepreneurship as a triathlon, where you’re sometimes going to feel elated and sometimes like you have to vomit.
In this episode, he shares about how his biggest failure has been a lack of self-care, why being able to tolerate risk is a key to success and why adapting to circumstances is the key to overcoming failure.
