Gold Nuggets in this Episode:
- “Keep saying ‘yes’ whether you know how to do it or you dont know how to do it. At some point you will make it if you just keep saying ‘yes’ and faking it.”
- “To be an entrepreneur, you’ve got to have that persistence, and you’ve got to have those multi-skills and be able to get through a lot of different things.”
- “Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. It does take a special kind of breed.”
- “A lot of people who hire designers, or any creatives in general - anything that you’re hiring somebody to create for you, is owned by them by what’s called creative ownership. It’s that creator’s intellectual property until the creator gives that company the creative ownership. An action item to help companies get around this is creating something as simple as a creative transfer agreement.”
- “There is a belief that once you pay for something like a logo that it is yours, but it is not by law.”
- “Being an entrepreneur, as lonely as it can be, make sure that you’re finding ways to connect and be inspired. If you’re having a hard day, just call someone.”
- “Be good to yourself. Rest. Take a day off every now and again.”
- “You see things and you say ‘why?’ I dream things that never were and say ‘why not?’” - George Bernard Shaw
