Universal Events Learns from an Influential Shark

If you’ve ever seen the hit television program Shark Tank – or even if you haven’t – you’re probably familiar with entrepreneur Robert Herjavec. He’s one of our favorite sharks and we at Universal Events greatly enjoy learning from him. Here are some of his insights that we value most: • Stay True to Your Values: Launching a business isn’t easy. In fact, it sometimes gets quite ugly. As you’re faced with difficult decisions, refer to your core values to guide you. • Stay on Top of the Trends: To succeed in the marketplace, it’s imperative to be agile and responsive to technological evolutions as well as fluctuations in buyer behaviors. • Do Some Testing: Don’t jump right into the deep end without first checking the water’s temperature. Test your idea with potential investors and customers. • Do It Anyway: Every good idea is met with critics and naysayers. If you believe in it, go for it. As cliché as it may seem, it’s crucial to have faith in yourself. • Keep Looking: No matter how successful you become, never stop seeking new opportunities. Entrepreneurship is all about constant growth. • Commit Yourself: As we mentioned above, opening a startup is hard work. It you want to make it as a business leader, expect to make a lot of sacrifices. At Universal Events, we take Herjavec’s wisdom to heart. With integrity, commitment, perseverance, and care, our team members know that any aspiring professional can successfully embark on a fruitful venture. We wish you the best of luck as you begin your journey as an entrepreneur.
