Eric Van Maren

On Friday we had a guest speaker named Eric Van Maren which is an entrepeneur from the Chilliwack area.  He talked to us about 6 key points about being an entrepeneur.  These key points include:

Work hard: Be prepared to work harder then your employees

Passionate at what they are doing: Love what your doing
Learn from mistakes: Make mistakes and learn from them Don't make hasty decisions
Reputation: Guard your reputation, You can spend a lifetime building a reputation and you can loose it very quickly.
When they need more employees they will hire the best: Hire smart people
Select partners carefully: What does your partner bring to the table that you don’t have?

He also talked to the class about No knowns, Unknown knowns and Unknown Unknowns.
