#112: Mark Herschberg on how to train to become an entrepreneur: Tips and Tricks

In this episode, Tina Persson talks to Mark Herschberg about how to learn to become an entrepreneur. Mark's recently published book "The Career Toolkit, Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You" gives deeper insights into this topic.

Mark has a diverse background ranging from Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Cryptography, to extensive business expertise. His wide experience has enabled him to launch and develop new ventures at start-ups and Fortune 500s. In addition to this, Mark also annually teaches in the Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program, famously known as MIT's "career success accelerator".

During the conversation, Tina asked Mark about who is an entrepreneur, how to train to become an entrepreneur, and what are the challenges in it. Mark addresses these questions and many more such as describing types of entrepreneurs, the required mindset, and how to find business opportunities.

Finally, Tina inquired about his three top tips for starting a company:

  • Create a supportive business network in different fields.

  • Look for a co-founder, make sure you are compatible, and make written agreements.

  • Don't worry about being right. Just try not to be wrong. It means that when you build a product, you should keep other possible options around as long as you can, and at the lowest costs possible.

Is being an entrepreneur the next chapter in your life? If so, you cannot miss this episode!
