Founder of Radley Robots https://www.radleyrobots.com Be persistent. Lots of people drop out but the name of this game is staying in it. Trust yourself and trust the people you work with. It’s way less effort to star from a position of trust and a lot more motivating for your team. Surround yourself with people who believe in you. Don’t apologize for having a big vision. There are enough small-minded people in the world – you can be bigger.

Founder of LevellingUp www.LevellingUp.ca I know this sounds like I’m pitching, but the best advice I can give is to find a mentor. And I’ve found the most effective mentoring relationships are those where both parties are committed to success – which generally means there has been some financial investment. Jade Alberts Founder of Peer Guidance Why did you choose to support entrepreneurs as your business?
Sorry, that’s four pieces of advice but the most important is persistence.
Because I am one and know of the struggles when you are sitting on that lonely island and thinking no one understands what you are going through. It is as simple as that.

As per our delightful Peer Guidance chat, we have some (healthy) internal discussions around “just go for it” and “test absolutely everything first”. Belief is the fire that fuels you, but entrepreneurs really require confidence to think their product/ service will make it. Seek feedback and test your bias as much as possible at the beginning: that’s the best time to make big strategic changes. And then don’t be offended (or surprised) when someone calls your baby ugly. _____________________________
