Eric Grafstrom on The Value of Working Hard & An Insatiable Curiosity

I’m sitting down with Eric Grafstrom who’s career spans several years in Silicon Valley at Yahoo, culminating in the creation of his own company, Exit Guide, which helps small businesses plan for their exit. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I learned so much from Eric, but I also laughed a lot (I hope you guys do too). This chat is perfect for anyone working in corporate who’s dreamed of starting their own business. Eric gets real on his almost religious experience of knowing when it was time to transition to something else. He encourages new entrepreneurs to embrace humility, tenacity, and curiosity. You guys are going to learn from Eric the value of embracing failure, making mistakes, and being solution-oriented. This has become one of my favorite conversations so far because it’s refreshingly frank. We discuss the value of seeking working relationships outside your own area of expertise to grow beyond where you are now. The value of doing the hard work without expectation, what it takes to succeed today, and being true to yourself. Also, Eric is leaving you with his top key skills that every successful entrepreneur should have, so this is an episode you are not going to want to miss.
