Erik Hanberg Presentation

The presentation done by guest speaker Erik Hanberg was very entertaining to attend.  The most important thing I think that he wanted us to take away from his presentation was to work on actually delivering something if you are going to be attempting to be an entrepreneur, meaning that to start a business you better be working on delivering a product or service soon or you aren't going to be in business long.  He told us about how his wife and him run a design business and how he is also an author with books branching into three different genres.  So in his case, being both an author and helping the design business, he has to constantly be sure he's trying to provide the consumer with the product of his books and with the design business giving good advice to the customers as part of the service.  He also suggested some books to read, such as "the $100 startup", "outliers", "the 4 hour work week", "the E-Myth revisted", and "turning pro", as well as his mystery novel "the marinara murders".  He also suggested checking out "Smartpassiveincome", a podcast where Pat Flynn talks with entrepreneurs.  In summary, from listening about how he makes his money it's clear that to make your own business you need to have a product or service that people want, as well as being sure that it is a sustainable business plan or it won't succeed, like his theater.
