Practical Ways to Survive Being an Entrepreneur

Nobody explains what it is really like to be an entrepreneur. How do you survive the lows? How do you learn from failure? How do you celebrate and build on success? How do you build the right team? When to use your gut instinct and when not? How to challenge your own assumptions? When to fundraise and when not?

I am a serial entrepreneur who has done 8 start-ups; with 2 big successes, 1 medium success, 1 in play, 2 no score draws and 2 failures. I can help you navigate as an entrepreneur in a world which is getting more competitive rather than less!

What should I name my marketing services agency?

There are 3 schools of thought about what to call a marketing agency. The first says be practical and call it something that relates to the product that you are selling. Good examples of this include "Ideo" and "Whatif!?" in the innovation space and "mindshare" in the media space. The second is call it something more iconoclastic, abstract and creative like "Elephants can't jump" or "Lucky Generals". the third days call it after a name, whether yours or someone else's. This leads to "Ogilvy & Mather" or "Saatchi and Saatchi". There is no right or wrong way. You need to choose a name that you and your partners can get behind and that will work over a long period of time and as your agency evolves and morphs what it does. The only key point to remember is that a) you should be able to tell a story off it - after all this is what creative people are supposed to do - and b) it is memorable

What is an applicable business model for a group of entrepreneurs that form a corporation and generate dividends from the ventures they do together?

If you want commitment then set up a proper Limited liability venture. This is just as much about making the business work as it is about structuring for tax reasons
