Dear Farillio member,

You asked our brilliant guest Bill Eckstrom on the Go Far Fast Show:

“I’m considering setting up my business, but I've never done anything like this before, so I'm completely out of my comfort zone, do you have any advice?”

And Bill said:

Be mighty always, Farillio

Transcript:

“Don't look back. If you're a go, go. One speed, full speed, go all in. You don't want to dangle a foot in that water. You make the leap. I made the leap because I got fired. I didn't have the courage to do it on my own. It took somebody firing before I said ‘ok, now I'm going to start my own business’. So, if you're going to go, I think the best emotional advice I could give you is go one speed, full speed. Don't look back, work like your hair's on fire and you will have no regrets whether it succeeds or fails. At least you tried and nobody will look at you and say you failed. Everybody will look at you and say ‘wow, that took courage’.”

Ask your question:

If you have any questions that you'd like us to ask in a future Go Far Fast Show, send us a DM on Twitter or on LinkedIn. We'd love to hear from you!
