[07:52] – Worst Entrepreneurial Moment: Ian was 20 years old when he first started his business. Internet cafes were a big thing. Ian jumped on this industry and opened his own cafe. Eventually, he re-sold Internet minutes to other cafes. He thought customers would just come if he had a cafe, not realizing the efforts required. After the first couple of months, Ian realized it was taking more work than he thought it would
[09:35] – Do not romanticize the idea that a business will easily attract customers into it
[11:25] – Entrepreneurial AH-HA Moment: When Ian first started doing photography, he realized that when taking photos of people, no matter how great his equipment was, the photos will always reflect what the person is feeling — usually awkward. Ian teaches his clients how to naturally project their emotions, and that changed the game for his business.
