What were your biggest failures and how did they affect your success?
People hear about the successful ventures I’ve been a part of creating, but I’ve learned far more from the failures. I have garnered vast lessons from the merchandise company we had to shut down, the magazine we acquired called “Winning” which we ironically closed, and the significant challenge of managing Active Europe following the financial market meltdown right after 9/11. When everything is going wonderfully, people operate in a superficial, fantasy world – it’s when things go wrong that people show their true colors, and you learn who will stand by you, and who will betray you. Tough times and failures strip you to your soul, and when that’s all that’s left, it’s important that you have a strong foundation. If entrepreneurs knew all the things that could and will go wrong with their company at the beginning of their path to create value and revenue – many of them would never take on the challenge.
