As a young entrepreneur(19) with a small but growing business I try to get advice from anyone I can who has been there and done that.
My girlfriends dad is a banker at a small local bank where most of the ultra wealthy bank who handles all the high net worth clients. One day one of his clients, Kon, noticed our product and asked to set up a meeting with us.
Kon has done it all. He helped start a automotive parts manufacturing plant that ended up selling back in the 90's for $1.3 billion. His success came from his invention of lighted visor for your car mirror. Despite have all the money he could possibly need for the rest of his life, him and his son are starting another business from scratch.
Kon, who is in his 80's took the time to sit down with my brothers and I over lunch and give us some of his ideas and some of his knowledge that he has gained over the years. I seriously can't even put into words how amazing it was to have a chance to talk with someone this successful and intelligent Before he even told us any ideas he made it clear that no matter what came of the ideas(and contacts to make it happen) that he wanted no compensation for anything that he gave us.
While we were talking he gave us a challenge that no one had ever given my brother and I. The challenge was to never be afraid think bigger.
I really think that no matter where you are. If you're in the slowlane, think bigger and get into the fastlane. If you're already in the fastlane, don't be afraid to think bigger about what you can do with your business. There is always that next level of success that you can reach. If Kon is 83, worth millions and millions of dollars, and is still thinking bigger, then why aren't you?
