"Are you really solving a big problem, or do you have a solution that’s in search of a problem?"
—Marcia Dawood
Today, Marcia joins me to share her story and her advice. She talks about why most companies don’t make it and shares how she minimized the risks associated with startups.
She shares the questions you should be asking yourself about your startup, as well as tips on what investors love to see. She emphasizes the importance of a flexible mindset, explains why an investor’s “No” doesn’t always mean “No,” and shares why you should ask for advice if you want money, and vice versa.
This Week on The Mindset Zone:
Why most companies don’t make it
Why Marcia’s work is important to her
Investing in women-led companies
Minimizing the risk in startups
The importance of knowing how to do a lot with a little
Why the best founders know what they don’t know
The marks of a successful leader
The importance of flexibility
Why, if you want money or advice, you should ask for the other
