Discussion around entrepreneurship often focuses on what makes a startup successful [00:00:16].
Key Traits for Entrepreneurs
Being contrarian is considered a very valuable trait for an entrepreneur [00:00:18]. Success in entrepreneurship also often comes down to risk taking [00:00:35].
Business Fundamentals
For a business to bring in money, it must generate profit [00:00:24].
“money only comes home when the business makes profit” [00:00:24]
Strategies for Startups
When starting a venture, such as a clothing brand, it is important to “find a difference” [00:00:32]. For example, the brand “Rare Rabbit” was named with the intention of reflecting rapid multiplication, as rabbits multiply quickly [00:00:43], aiming for significant growth [00:00:51]. A focus on achieving or exceeding quality standards, like matching Korean quality, is also highlighted as a goal [00:01:06].
Influence of Personal Experiences
Personal experiences can significantly impact one’s work and entrepreneurial journey; for one individual, the birth of their son marked a turning point for their work [00:01:03].
