Description
Ever wondered what the path to success looks like after launching a string of business ventures?
Today I am flying solo to look back and take you through how I started my entrepreneurial journey with a candy business that my brother and I launched in fourth grade, converting a one-pound block of chocolate into a lucrative enterprise.
Over the years, I have initiated or invested in 21 businesses, resulting in $46.272 million in investments and generating over $1.4 billion in revenue, adjusted for today's values. After years of venturing into business, I have learned invaluable lessons that extend beyond dollars and cents.
In this episode of The Greatness Machine, I challenge conventional notions of success and encourage you to reflect on what success truly means to you as you navigate the opportunities and challenges of entrepreneurship. Furthermore, this episode discusses the concealed value in the wisdom gained through struggles, emphasizing that lessons from failures serve as stepping stones to future success.
Topics include:
Darius reflects on his entrepreneurial journey and the concept of success and failure
The importance of considering the value of your time when evaluating the success of a business venture
Darius shares an exercise tracking each business venture, including investments, inflation-adjusted revenue, staffing, and success status
Darius discusses how the lessons learned from failures contribute to long-term success
Darius explains how struggles can be seen as paying the tuition for success
And other topics…
