On this episode of the Find Your Freedom Podcast, Richard Lee joins us from the UK, an inspiring entrepreneur who shares valuable insights on navigating the business world while emphasizes the importance of seizing opportunities outside the corporate realm, urging individuals to avoid getting trapped behind a desk and instead take chances to pursue their dreams.
Entrepreneurship Lessons: - If you don't feel right in the corporate world, take your chance, don't get wasted behind a desk. - Have the courage to reach out to people who can help your vision grow. - Grit and resilience are critical to making it through the hard times. - You don’t need to have a huge marketing budget to create a successful marketing campaign - Be creative with marketing, you don't always have to pay. - When raising capital, start by showing interest in what the investor is interested in and ask for a small amount of their time/input before directly asking them to invest. - Composure is key. We get excited early on entrepreneurs, but need to learn to keep our composure. Richard’s Story: * Started out as Barista and loved the Hospitality Industry * Left promising career at Deloitte after only 1 year * Covid hit right as he was preparing to launch his company, so he delayed his launch and spent 2 years learning the ins and outs of his goal industry. * Within the first 90 days of launching Venyu, he built a large user base, and within 6 months of starting the company was successfully monetizing the service.
