And entrepreneurship is also a matter of chance, but it will be a great opportunity if you work hard for it.

TOTALLY agree. I’m curious about what you personally do when you wake up to days you just don’t feel like doing it. This morning was one of those days for me. Trying to get back in the swing of things after the holidays.

The underlying tones of this post are so huge.
There are literally millions of people who believe all they need is THE IDEA. Once they get that magical silver bullet, their problems will be over. Even the great Stephen Key treats his idea manufacturing like it’s a business that needs constant involvement and development.
Like your post suggests, at least from my view, the ability to plan, diversify, adapt, and learn while you build is what separates successful entrepreneurs from the wisher and dreamers.
Thanks for sharing this. I appreciate it.

[...] Practice makes perfect. Not all new trends involve the Internet, at least not directly. For example, one of the first steps Jesse Jacobs, founder of Samovar Tea Lounges, took was to eliminate WiFi from his establishments to create a place of contemplative peace for his customers, many of whom, ironically, are part of the tech industry.

Jonathan,

Thank you very much for this interview. It gives me fuel for my soul. I am a tea enthusiast and I had a meeting place in Gothenburg, Sweden, some years ago. I can resonate with Jesse Jacobs quest for creating a special place.

STL tweeted on December 28:

“if you’ve ever made an important change in your life. Tell us what it was. The best responses will be published in our social media.”

I RTed & replied:

“It is (high tea) time to take my vision for #teaFTW onto the track of doing biz w/ other tea enthusiasts.”

I look forward to the day when I will have the opportunity to visit STL in SF!

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks so much for this wonderful interview. I felt myself destessing only a few minutes in and it was a real treat to see it pop up in the BizSugar community. I think seeing entrepreneurship as a learning experience is a great approach to help you discover the full potential in your business. Focus is important but don’t let it keep you from seeing all the possibilities.

By the way, Jonathan, I loved the video. I think I’m at the point where I check GLP every day to see if there’s a new video up. You probably have an actual schedule, but have I looked for it? No.

I’m looking forward to more writing on entrepreneurship as a practice. It resonates with me.
