#114 Offense or Defense as an Entrepreneur (Which One are You Playing?‪)‬ The Whiteboard Entrepreneur - with Devon Dickinson - Fuel The Entrepreneur in All Of Us!

    • Entrepreneurship

In this episode, I’ll discuss the topic of playing too much defense as an entrepreneur. We’re covering why always approaching decisions with a hoarding mentality (or “playing defense”) will lead to fewer opportunities, what kind of mentality you need to have in your business when times are tough, and what it looks like to have a healthy balance of offense and defense in the environment you’re in. Join me as we talk about all of that and more in this episode of the Whiteboard Entrepreneur Podcast.

I’m Devon Dickinson. I've been married for 25 years and have a family of 6. I've founded, bought, sold, and sometimes failed with 10 different companies. As an individual entrepreneur, my companies have been on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list longer than any other individual. I enjoy investing in real estate and I've coached soccer for the last 6 years; which seems to be what keeps me up at night. Although I now own several multimillion-dollar companies, I only started with $5,000 and a credit card. Before we get started, I should warn you that this is all true... I don't know the easy way in anything I only know “the hard way”. I want to help you avoid learning the hard way (where you can) through straightforward advice that will fuel the entrepreneur in ALL OF US!
