Entrepreneur Advice: Should you GIVE UP? (Richard Branson #AND Chris Guillebeau)

you know there is there’s a very thin
dividing line between success and
failure when you start a business from
scratch you know if you don’t have
enough money to pay the bills you go the
wrong side of that dividing line and if
you can somehow get enough money to pay
the bills you stay the right side of
that dividing line you know I’ve always
been running running running faster than
perhaps I shouldn’t and I’ve have great
difficulty saying no to things so keep
on taking on new things and we’ve just
managed to stay the right side of the
dividing line over the last 50 years in
business but equally in those early days
when you when you’re starting a business
without any financial backing it’s it’s
easy to slip the wrong side and and in
fact you know most entrepreneurs do do
slip the wrong side and the poor the
important thing is then just to you know
pick yourself up and you know start
again and if it doesn’t work at that
time keep keep going until you do
succeed and not to give up if something
isn’t working I think you should stop
doing it I think you should quit and
this runs contrary to a lot of things
that you’ve been told in your business
education through case studies etc
you’ve probably been told that winners
never quit and what I saw through my
research looking at lots of successful
people who’ve done a lot of amazing
things winners actually aren’t afraid to
quit winners quit all the time and so I
think it’s not persistence that’s the
predictor of success it’s flexibility
and adaptation being willing to kind of
go down a path and say actually that’s
not the right path for me I’m gonna go
back I’m gonna take the other path I’m
going to create an all new path so
winners never quit maybe but winners
actually give up all the time thank you
guys so much for watching I made this
series because I wanted to promote
understanding and awareness I wanted you
to see that it’s not always looking at
it as one thing or the other but if you
embrace the genius of the end and bring
those two seemingly opposite points of
view together that that is where the
true genius lies I want you to see that
you can learn from both of the people
that are profiled in the video
especially probably from the person who
you don’t immediately agree
if you can understand their perspective
and apply it to your life chances are it
will help you get to where you want to
go a lot faster so let me know what you
think leave a comment below I’ll join
the discussion continued to believe and
I’ll see you soon
