Being an entrepreneur can be quite stressful at times, especially when you are starting out. Your resources are limited and you find yourself being a jack of all trades, but master of none. That’s just one trait of being an entrepreneur. When I first started my entrepreneurial career, I was riding off of my corporate experience and mistakes I’d made with other small side projects.

Unfortunately, that will only take you so far and that’s when you begin to wish that you had someone’s brain to pick; someone who’s done it before and can shed some light on your situation. It’s easy to find resources on the Internet, but are you able to identify which advice will make a significant impact on your business?

There are a lot of resources out there, but I wasn’t just looking for resources you can find in a book, rather I wanted real life experience from people who had made millions. If I’m unable surround myself with those types of people within my city, I sure will surround myself with them online!

“Hi, I’m Andrew Warner. In my 20s, I used credit cards and ingenuity to create a $30+ mil / year (in sales) internet business with my younger brother. I created Mixergy to help ambitious people who love business as much as I do learn from a mix of experienced mentors. I do that by inviting speakers to live events and online interviews.”

“As a professional geek I used to work in a reasonably fun job doing what I liked to do (write code).  Eventually, I got a little frustrated with it all so at the ripe old age of 24, I started my first software company.  It did pretty well.  It got a bunch of awards, attracted a bunch of smart people, reached millions of dollars of sales and was ultimately sold for millions of more dollars to a much larger technology company.  Since then, I’ve started more companies, invested in a few and advised a few more.”

“After starting three companies, founder David Siteman Garland became frustrated that he could not find a great resource for marketing his own businesses.
