So, one, don’t give up, two, make sure you have the resources to pursue it because that’s part of giving up. Many times, people give up because they don’t have the financial resources.

Once you write out your goals put them into categories, something like health, personal, financial, relationships, business, career, whatever resonates with you.

“stop comparing your success to other people’s success. I think that’s one of the hardest things to do as entrepreneurs is wanting to be further along than where we are and kind of having the impatience or the frustration of kind of watching other people succeed and not being happy for them. I think it’s really important to support other people’s success but I also think that we need to stop comparing where we are with where somebody else is. Everyone gets shown the sizzle reel and being an entrepreneur is not glamorous, it really isn’t. It’s the physical, mental, emotional courage that it takes is a lot. So I think the best advice is just you are good, you will get through it, keep going, don’t put so much pressure on you”…[Listen for More]

In a galaxy far far away in what feels like another lifetime Anthony Poponi was a non-profit professional working on rivers and creeks, saving sea turtles or kids and dabbling in every level of living the non-profit life from entry level to Executive Director to nearly everything else in between. During his career Anthony has always been a communicator and favored roles where he either entertains or educates and occasional he even does both. Anthony loves connecting dots in both simple drawings and in complex settings where his inner-communicator brings together individuals to create, connect and laugh. While holding a microphone one day Anthony had an epiphany....'I should do this more.' Anthony speaks on the many facets of happiness on stage as a keynote, workshop, host, moderator or emcee and supports entrepreneurs in Colorado through the ICELab and Small Business Development center as programming Mentor focused on 'taking the fear out of public speaking' and showing entrepreneurs a path towards greater fulfillment for themselves and their teams.

“not everyone should be an entrepreneur. There is a lot of discomfort that comes from being an entrepreneur. And you have to understand that there is going to be a lot pressure on you at all times to make the income flow. It’s all on you. And maybe the other piece of advice is if you are going to be an entrepreneur just know that in the start-up phase you wind up doing it all, and you have to do the accounting, you have to do all these things if you don’t have a significant start-up money to hire a team and start with the team… Over time complexity gets so high that you need expertise in certain silos so you need to find them. And what it also does is, the more you can do that, put yourself in that creative high-value space of the special source of what you do gets to come out and then having other people support that”…[Listen for More]

“Hold on, stay the course. And I say that because eight out of ten businesses they fail within five years whatever reason. That can be lack of financing, lack of information, lack of support of course it can be other scenarios that would add to that, but the statistics still remain eight out of ten fail. There are only two remaining out of that group and I believe only one of them will thrive. I want those numbers to change. Hang in there, do something that you haven’t done before, turn up one more stone, take one more class, get one more mentor, watch one more YouTube. That may be the difference of making that number from 8 to 10, to 7 to 10, to 6 to 10, to 2 to 10. We can change the odds just hang in there”…[Listen for More]
