The Entrepreneurs Club just had it's fall semester kick off forum with keynote speaker Eddie Flores Jr. He is the President of L&L Hawaiian BBQ, with a franchise model that has sprouted over 185 restaurants from the west coast of the United States all the way to New Zealand.
Mr. Flores talked about his story towards becoming a success. Besides being a witty business man (one of the first things he noted was that whenever you give a speech you need to be humorous), there were a few key notes in which I would like to share with you all. Here are my top 4 Eddie Flores points:
1. To be a successful entrepreneur, you need to be self motivated
2. As a young entrepreneur, nobody will respect you. You have to prove it to them.
3. Take risks. If you fail, look back, find your solution and make it a success
4. (my favorite) "if you like your job, you're already retired". Do what you like, success and happiness will follow
that was my favorite line too bro!
ReplyDelete#4: What if 'what you like' isn't where the market calls for?
ReplyDeletei believe this is why a keyword is "job". something that you are getting paid to do, thus there is some type of market call for it. My interpretation is that if you are getting paid for something you love to do, the happiness it brings is like retired already, no matter how much or little you are getting paid.
