$500 each so $1,000 total.

Favorite Food
Bloomin' Onion / Filet Minon

A Great Night Out
Upwards of several hundred dollars. Average night out is $15-50.

Favorite Movie
Dumb and Dumber. It's fitting.

Biggest Complaint
Progress can never happen quite fast enough.

Biggest Accomplishment
Just being your own boss at 24 feels like a pretty big accomplishment to me.

Biggest Mistake
There hasn't been one thing in particular. Being young and inexperienced causes you to make some dumb decisions. Read, do your research, and try to avoid as many critical mistakes as possible. There's always a positive lesson you can find in your mistakes if you look hard enough for it. Luckily we haven't done anything dumb enough to kill our business.... yet.

Living The Passion
Yes and no. I'm not near where I want to be some day but I know that entrepreneurship and building the business now will enable me to truly live my passion in the future.

Key Tip
If your business requires credit card processing, make sure your account is setup correctly and with a reputable company. Don't pick your credit card processor by shopping around online. Go with one of the only 5 banks that are their own processor and work directly with them. You'll get a much better deal and less shady service.

The Lesson
Planning is fine and dandy but you should take action as soon as possible.

    I like the honest response on living the passion – Yes and no. I don’t think we are all passion, all the time.

    But on living your passion….indeed you could go so much further, so much faster if you had it.

    And that would definitely take care of their #1 complaint:

    Biggest Complaint
    Progress can never happen quite fast enough.

    If you are living your passion then you become an innovator by default and the questions will then come before the answer. You will create your own progress.
