This interview with Phil really hit home for me. Phil talks about his quarter life crisis and how he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life.  He was in business school, architecture school, marketing agencies, back to school, worked at a resort, started a strawberry farm, was certified as a personal trainer…oh...and he has started multiples companies and even sold one of them! When I say he has A TON of work experience, I mean it! Not only does he have incredible work experience, but he has such a positive, optimistic attitude that I believe everyone should emulate to help improve their lives.

OR, he could quit his job and focus on building his business. Which one do you think he chose? Of course he took the risk. Denny takes us through his journey and literally has some incredible pieces of advice that I'll be using for my quote of the day photos.

Trevor Page spent 2 years building a product. He poured his blood, sweat and tears into it and then when he launched, he did not have any sales! How would that make you feel? Most people would pack their bags and call it a day but Trevor refused to lose (That’s the entrepreneur in him). He used the lessons he learned from his launch and applied it to future ventures. Trevor learned that it’s vital to validate a product before you spend time and money building it.
