Who is your entrepreneur idol? My side business is severely failing, and I don't think it's the product. I need to change the way I'm thinking about it, and I'm a huge fan of learning from people who have made mistakes and built empires after realizing what they needed to change. If that rings a bell, please comment on who I could start reading about, especially if you think there is a good autobiography/biography on them.

Anyone feel frustrated at times with the super aggressive sales personalities we deal with? My AE is always pushing on every ask no matter how minuscule it is.

However what I personally feel is they just nag us until we do the job according to their spec. Just venting……anyone else feel the same?
