Comments on: Navigating The Head Junk – DISCUSSION http://www.toiletpaperentrepreneur.com/skill-toolbox/navigating-the-head-junk-discussion/ Mon, 21 May 2012 13:33:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mitsuko Mori http://www.toiletpaperentrepreneur.com/skill-toolbox/navigating-the-head-junk-discussion/#comment-3311 Mitsuko Mori Sun, 12 Jul 2009 23:01:17 +0000 http://www.toiletpaperentrepreneur.com/blog/?p=405#comment-3311 Thanks so much for this video. this video was a wake-up call for me that I let way too many wrong people try to convince my dream business is never going to work. really, really appreciate what you're doing. I was an exchange student in California, and when I came back to my country after graduation and started my business, I was shocked how little entrepreneural my people are. It is so hard to encounter people like you here - so please keep it up...I'll keep watching! I really wish fellow entrepreneurs in my country (Japan) could watch these videos. Japan is not so entrepreneural and rather conservative, and people still think women should get married and be a house wife after 30. so a lot of young people give up way too early because of too much head junk. (My apologies - my server has been currently down since yesterday. my website can be viewable very soon.) Thanks so much for this video.

I'm a marketing major right now but I want to have have everything from a clothing line to concert production firm. I've found that I value quality & function, the people around me appreciate that characteristic about me. And like I said, that's where the problem begins, the way I tie them together is seeing my clothing line fund a media source and that building a service brand. Businesses/brands have branches from where they began...cool...but where should I start? Am I biting off too much? Is biting off too much even possible? (I'm just tired of psyching myself out because I'm intimidated by my vision) : \ Well I guess the best way to describe it is by naming companies like LVMH, PPR and Fortune Brand…I want to build on & create luxury brands/services.

I am open to what you are saying and I believe you Mike, I have only 3 sheets of toilet paper, and have never considered using only 3, as I have always been a 10 or 15 sheet guy, but, who was counting, not me. I am willing and I will keep you appraised in an honest and open way. So I am on board, I have taken notes, I am responding to this blog, I am off to do a two day course on MS Excel and I wish you and you team all the best.

But from what I can read into what you are saying... you have found what I call a "super strength" - this is when you combine multiple talents/strengths into a unique package. That combined strength is probably very unique to you and often a business can be built around it. Share more deets, and I will gladly share more thoughts in response. - Mike #150 @Melissa – Well darn it, you need to share more details.

However, these things are pretty random, I've gotten to a point where I've figured out a way to link them all together but now I don't know where to start!! I feel kind of foolish doing some of the things first even though they are "easier" and require less of the skills I am trying to perfect...IDK. It's the typical "It makes sense in my head but I can't get it on paper" situation...HELP!!!

It is ALL about surrounding yourself with the right people. And one more HUGE point that Jennifer hit on... success into today's entrepreneurial landscape is ALL ABOUT COOPERATION. Entrepreneurs who "compete & destroy" no longer are progressing and are now failing. The new breed of entrepreneur who "collaborates & elevates" is the ultra-success. Its the folks who actively seek out relationships and to help others, even the competitors, are the ones who are winning! - Mike #145 & #146 @Jocelyn & @Jennifer – We are totally on the same page.

Small thinking is the toughest of your points for me...it's FEAR based and I continue to struggle with why that fear is so persistent - may go back to point 1. Ok, I'm thinking as I write here, so will go do that somewhere else. Thanks - AGAIN!
