This past Monday VeloCity Bootcamp ended off its spring program with Jim Estill, CEO at Large, speaking about the habits that will gear every entrepreneur down the road to success.
While quoting Aristotle: “We are the product of what we repeatedly do”, Jim highlighted 8 key habits that every entrepreneur should live their lives by:
Habit Number 1: Discipline is a limited resource, know it is all about habits and understand that habits make it easy.
Habit Number 2- Fail often, fail fast, fail cheap.
Habit Number 3- Know yourself and use your unique strengths.
Habit Number 4- Set a pace that you can maintain forever. After all, life and business are like a marathon.
Habit Number 5- Be frugal.
Habit Number 6- Nurture a network and stay in touch.
Habit Number 7- Engage in lifelong learning- the adaptable survive, not the strong.
Habit Number 8- Learn strong time management habits.
An excellent activity to help guide you along a path that truly reflects your interests, passions and goals for the future, Jim suggests writing a list of answers to the following questions:
What are your goals this year? What would you do if you had 6 months to live? What would you like to accomplish in a lifetime? What are your values? “If you spend your life polishing your weaknesses you will die with a lot of strong weaknesses” Jim Estill
VeloCity would like to end off this series of Bootcamp program summaries by thanking all of our speakers, mentors and partners such as: Communitech, the Accelerator Centre and the Ontario Centres of Excellence, who all helped to make this program such a huge success! We will be hosting a farewell BBQ next Monday July 19th at the Accelerator Centre from 4-8pm- be sure to come and check out what the Bootcamp as well as VeloCity students have been working on this summer!
