As savage-minded entrepreneurs, we have to think beyond the norm and push boundaries. Nothing new happens unless we do. This may take the form of pursuing methods or ideas others have dismissed or perhaps not even considered. It may take the form of ignoring those who say it won’t work. For an entrepreneur, rejecting the expected is integral to life and goals.
Eager to discuss this further, I (Kyle) interviewed Matt Speer, the Founder of LIV Indy, and the Founder and CEO of Property Management Advisory (LivLabs.io). Matt shared how he’s used not-so-ordinary ideas to accomplish goals throughout his life, and now is improving the technology that is sorely lacking in the world of real estate and property management. Matt related stories of avoiding working in the campus bookstore, the chip on the shoulder mindset, values to determine passion, and having hard conversations.
“But when it's your own vision–you know, when it’s just an idea and it becomes a reality–and then you’re selling that product... That’s what gets me up in the morning and gives me a lot of excitement… I just follow it, chase it as much as I can.” -- Matt Speer
