Advice to Budding Entrepreneurs
When asked about a piece of advice for budding entrepreneurs, Martin asserts, “Go after your passion and try your hardest to build a product or service that will make your customers’ lives easier.” Becoming a successful entrepreneur requires an intense level of dedication to achieve a dream and requires sacrificing time and money to make it happen. He further adds,
“It may not be easy to give up those nightly Netflix binges or weekend parties with friends so you can put in some extra hours on your startup, but these sacrifices are much easier to make now than when you’re older.”
