[01:10] – Colin is 26 years old and comes from Pelham, Ontario in Canada
[01:23] – He’s an uncle of 4
[01:34] – His entrepreneurial journey was a difficult one, and he got lost in life for a couple of years
[02:44] – Helping people take what they love to do and make it their business is Colin’s area of expertise
[02:57] – Share something we don’t know about your area of expertise that as Entrepreneurs, we probably should: An idea is different from a concept
[03:51] – The difference is that a person with a fully developed concept has a clear picture in mind of what they want
[04:31] – Colin teaches aspiring entrepreneurs how to develop their concepts so they can move forward
[05:03] – Worst Entrepreneurial Moment: A couple of years back, Colin was easily influenced by people. He and his brother looked into opening a car dealership. Colin was instantly hooked, and in 3 months he learned everything he could from 9am to 4pm (all while he had a full-time hotel manager position from 5pm to 2am every day). He got to a point where he was ready to shell out his savings and dive into the business—and then his brother pulled out
[06:15] – Colin was crushed
[06:52] – Put the money aside and figure out what you really want to do
[07:30] – Entrepreneurial AH-HA Moment: After the car dealership fail, Colin experienced several more failures in ventures he started. He took time to reflect on what happened, and he realized he was just after the money. When he understood he can’t always rely on other people – and that he had to take control of his future – it gave him a boost in his self-development and self-education
[09:03] – Improve your skills
[09:14] – Focus on what you want
