That Plastics Guy

In today's episode, Kurt talks about his decision to purchase Simcoe Plastics and "go it alone".  Entrepreneurship is rewarding, challenging, and exhilarating...but, full of responsibility, discipline, and intellect.  

If you believe being an entrepreneur is your chosen path, you really need to ask yourself if you have the skills, support, and industry knowledge to not only forge this path, but to succeed.

Thinking about the #TTF episode "Don't Give Up" (which dealt with using a disciplined approach to handle technical issues), "Know When to Stop" talks about no wearing out the welcome mat.  

It's easy in sales or in interpersonal negotiations to want to take control and "keep pushing".  Realistically, we need to know when to look at an opportunity and if it's not working, park it.  In sales, like in comedy, timing is everything.
