My interview with business radio host Iain MacFarlane of 1670 WTDY aired on Saturday, Nov. 19. The premise of his show is to have business owners share their insights as to what has helped them succeed.
I enjoyed the interview. We recorded early morning on a Friday in September. I remember walking in to the Mid-West Family Broadcasting studio and hearing live music. It turns out they were having a party at 7 a.m. Lots of people were rocking out and enjoying Alaskan Beer. I was asked to join, but I (reluctantly) declined.
Amongst the advice I provided on air, here’s one I’ll repeat for people thinking of starting a business. I believe people can be classified into one of two categories, in two scenarios. First, there are those who lead and there are those who are led. Second, there are those who seek out their own opportunities, and there are those who go day by day and hope something happens to them.
If you think the former in both scenarios describes yourself, then you have the personality type to start a business.
