He answers the following questions:
John, you work with a lot of entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs - the stats vary - they say 4 out of 5 fail, 90% don't make it. What do you believe makes some people successful as they start a business? and others not successful in business? What is it? What has been your most effective marketing technique? and why was it most effective? How long does it take to "be an overnight success"? What has been your biggest business disappointment? and how did you overcome it? What books are you reading (or listening to) right now? As a final question, when some one comes to you saying they are thinking about starting a business: What do you say to some one thinking about starting a business?
