What do you do after one failure? How about 5,127 failures? If you're James Dyson, you keep trying. It took him five years and 5,127 prototypes to develop the first bagless vacuum. And it took the world by storm. Today, Dyson Ltd. is a global technology enterprise spanning over 400 products, with Sir James Dyson's net worth standing at $13.1 billion. He knew you can get knocked down, but you can't stay down. When I dove into real estate investment, despite my experience primarily being in IT, it was a leap of faith. I've faced my share of setbacks – deals falling through, tough market conditions. But along the way, I've helped others create generational wealth, built a strong team of passionate professionals, and connected with industry leaders and innovators. Success isn't just about the ups, it's about how you rise after the downs. What entrepreneurial challenges have you overcome on your journey?

It’s not rocket science to start a new business. Really, it’s not. Everything’s fresh. Crisp. New. Like a beautiful sunrise, like a newly opened bag of chips. All you need to do is look ahead. Plan the future. Position. Brand. Daydream. On paper. Step out the door with your right foot. Then left. Then right again. But it takes real bravery to hit the pause button on a running business. Breathing and panting. Everything’s tight. Everything’s tense. Everything’s moving. Its a rollercoaster on steroids Maybe a quick pit stop for a reality check would help? To untangle who's the hero and who's the villain, what's the battle and what's just noise And most importantly, to remember why you started this race in the first place.

If not "Founder Mode" then what? There's so much buzz about Paul Graham's essay about Founder Mode vs Manager Mode. As always PG was distilled and opinionated. But what I couldn't understand is how it's a new insight. Maybe not as a newfound term, but Founder Mode has always been implicit and nuanced. It's difficult to explain and can only be experienced. What do you think? Would love to hear your take. https://lnkd.in/geGdUzws #foundermode

Paul Graham's recent ‘Founders Mode’ essay is a great read (https://lnkd.in/d4SMeuw7), and I suspect many founders appreciate the recognition and articulation of something we have known at our core for years. To me, there seems to be an intersection between Paul’s ‘Founders Mode’ and Ben Horowitz classic Wartime CEO framework (https://lnkd.in/d8tKsi-z) that may be useful to explore further when building out the thesis. #FoundersMode #WartimeCEO Muhannad Alomari

Ever heard of the Red Car Theory to identify opportunities? It's the magic trick that uncovers opportunities hiding in plain sight. Picture this - you buy a shiny, red car. Suddenly, the world seems awash with little red autos zipping around every corner. Noticed that? That’s the Red Car Phenomenon. The magic isn’t in the color, it’s in the attention. The same applies to opportunities. Only when you truly 'see' and align your attention, do golden chances start to pop up everywhere.

I kept running into DUDE Wipes everywhere -- in my friends' bathrooms, in the grocery store -- so I decided to write about them. Read my latest for Forbes on the awesome journey of how Dude's founders, three childhood friends from Chicago Sean Riley, Ryan Meegan, and Jeffrey Klimkowski, bookstrapped their business, won a deal with Mark Cuban and became one of the most successful businesses in Shark Tank ABC history. By focusing on one thing and one thing only (flushable wipes) the Dudes have built a $110 million business that's already captured 1% of the U.S. toilet paper market. Now, they have even bigger plans for a broader shift in consumer habits centering around one key question: Does toilet paper actually get the job done? Read more here: https://lnkd.in/esVbXwWX
