Show Notes:

The entrepreneur’s main capability is vision.

There are many talented people who don’t have a purpose or a vision for using their talents.

A lot of people understand sales and profit, but they don't understand cash flow and the timing and movement of money.

Meet as many of the right people as you can that you want to do business with.

People should aim to have a baseline—a certain amount of cash they want to carry in their business—and do whatever they can to avoid going below that number.

Entrepreneurs want freedom in their lives. And money buys you freedom.

Every entrepreneur needs some type of mentor, coach, or advisor that they can talk to when they have difficult things going on.

You will cap your potential if you don't learn how to lead and build a team.

If you’re entrepreneurial and you have a dream, it doesn't matter what your background or education is.
