We’ve all heard the phrase, "You learn from your mistakes," but wouldn’t it be nice to fast track beyond a few knee scrapes with the guidance of those who have gone before? Dealmaker Media’s recent Strategy Series at Mannatt, Phelps & Phillips made it possible with a roundtable featuring four entrepreneurs who candidly shared anecdotes from their successes and failures. Here are just a few noteworthy soundbites. Check out our video for full coverage. Part 1
“Hire young people that have the ability to be great.”
~ Michael Jones, CEO of Userplane and Senior Vice President at AOL
“Listen to your advisors, but don’t always agree with them. They are one data point. Go with your gut.”
~ Frank Addante, CEO of The Rubicon Project
“If you don’t dust yourself off after getting knocked down, you’re not going to be lucky. Stand up and say, ‘One more, please!’”
~ Kamran Pourzanjani, Former CEO & Founder of PriceGrabber
“Understand everyone’s currency. It’s what motivates them.”
~ Dana Settle, Greycroft Partners To learn more about Dealmaker Media and its other Los Angeles events, visit www.dealmaker.com/la.html To view the rest of the Founder Wisdom hit the Jump.
