“Be cautious about taking the leap (into entrepreneurship) because it’s very difficult to undo,” says Guy Rubin, founder & CEO of Ebsta, a pioneering company in the CRM and sales tech space. In this episode of The Conscious Entrepreneur podcast, Guy shares refreshing advice for aspiring entrepreneurs: take your time. He emphasizes that many young founders are drawn to overnight success stories or feel the need to build rapidly. Instead, Guy advises finding your steepest learning curve, acting as an apprentice, and staying the least knowledgeable person in the room for as long as possible. Even when you think you’re ready to start a business, he suggests waiting a bit longer. The learning and planning phase is crucial because once you start, especially with external investments, it’s much harder to reverse course.
For those who have already founded their businesses, Guy talks about the importance of seeking mentors and building a strong network. He believes that your team should see you as a confident leader while also feeling they can teach you something. Guy shares his experience guiding Ebsta through multiple pivots and transformations since 2012.
Despite the challenges of entrepreneurship, Guy asserts that it’s still better than being someone’s employee or, worse, a wage slave. Tune in to today’s discussion to learn how to set yourself up for success.
