Episode 105 – Coffee N5 – The Unspoken Truth About Entrepreneurship with Gene Marks

On this episode of Coffee N° 5, Lara sits down with Gene Marks, entrepreneur and decorated writer and author who’s written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Entrepreneur Magazine. Gene has written five books that focus on management for small- to medium-sized businesses, and he sits down to talk to Lara about his experience and what budding entrepreneurs need to know.

What you’ll learn:

• Gene explains why running a business isn’t a “romantic thing” — and what Hollywood gets wrong about entrepreneurship
• Why he advises many people NOT to quit their jobs to devote themselves to their business — and what he suggests they do instead
• Why Kevin Costner was wrong (Just because you “build it,” doesn’t mean they will come!) and how this principle applies to building a successful business
