Check out Will’s inspiring story of changing his lifelong career path to start his own company and all of the hard work and challenges he overcame to become a successful entrepreneur!   Takeaways: ~Ideas are not the bulk of the work. Everybody has good ideas, but the hard part is the execution and commitment to the idea. ~The greatest ideas are those that we set free to evolve by allowing input and making adjustments. Most original business plans develop over time into better plans. ~It is important to find the right product-market fit for your company. This means having a constant mindset of what is working, what needs to be changed, and how to be open to making changes to your product and/or market. ~“Luck is manufactured with persistence” - David did not get where he was today by chance; he built his business through time and effort. ~Negotiation is key when making business deals, especially when selling a business. Know your company’s worth, decline the first offer, and do not settle for less. ~It is not easy to veer from a set career path, but sometimes it is necessary. Figure out what you want out of your professional life and embrace it with passion.   Links: ~LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidrwill ~Podcast: ‎EO 360°: A podcast by the Entrepreneurs' Organization on Apple Podcasts ~Email: [email protected]   Ways to Tune In: ~iTunes - ~Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2t4Ksk4TwmZ6MSfAHXGkJI ~Stitcher - ~Google Play - ~Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/4263fd02-8c9b-495e-bd31-2e5aef21ff6b ~YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_2oe3Y-omw
