Secrets to a Successful Startup

Trevor Blake, trevorgblake.com

– The Sharkpreneur podcast with Kevin Harrington and Seth Greene Episode 690 Trevor Blake

Trevor Blake built three successful startups and sold them for more than $300 million. Now he's written a complete instruction manual that covers everything the budding entrepreneur or existing business owner needs to know to build the career or business of their dreams.

Studies show that over the course of an 8-hour workday, the average employee works for just 2 hours and 53 minutes. Trevor’s method teaches how to structure organically productive 5-hour workdays rather than 8-hour days that are actually padded with distractions and the survival tactics (reading the news, multiple mini-breaks, social media surfing etc.) that workers have learned as coping mechanisms for the daily grind.

Listen to this illuminating Sharkpreneur episode with Trevor Blake about his book, Secrets to a Successful Startup.

Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week’s show:

● How successful entrepreneurs have to claim back their individualism.

● Why you can’t come up with good ideas just listening to others’ advice.

● How success comes from self-confidence and a tendency to set big goals.

● Why entrepreneurs should set their exit strategy before raising capital.

● How it’s important to have a structure that allows you to be quickly adaptable.

The attorneys listed in Florida Trend’s Legal Elite exemplify a standard of excellence in their profession and have garnered the respect and esteem of their colleagues. Matthew was previously selected by his peers as Legal Elite in 2017 and 2011.

Matthew has been named to the top 100 trial lawyers by The National Trial Lawyers and was repeatedly selected among the top 40 trial lawyers under the age of 40 by the same organization.
