“Surround Yourself With the Right People.”
The right mentality and business idea can go a long way, but no entrepreneur can do everything on their own. Daymond John stressed to Steve Adubato the importance of building a support system, as well as distancing yourself from detractors. “I think that every single one of us is born thinking like entrepreneurs,” John said, “and it’s the people around us…that sometimes say it can’t be done, it won’t be done, you’re going to embarrass yourself, you’re going to embarrass us, and they take us off that track. It’s up to us to find those people that put us back on.”
