Entrepreneurial Lessons of a Five Year Old
At just five years old, Dr. Bruce Winston began his first entrepreneurial venture selling newspapers on the streets of Fairbanks, Alaska. Years later, he realized it was that experience that taught him everything he needed to know about entrepreneurship. From "it's who you know" to "first to market" to "location, location, location" to "don't take on the big guys unless you're willing to get beat up," Dr. Winston candidly shares these and many other entrepreneurial lessons that have impacted his life.
