Tips on success from Ashish Mistry

Jan 3, 2014
  • Always be interviewing potential new hires. You need a ready pipeline of new talent as your business changes.
  • To woo an investor: Get a referral. Have a succinct pitch that differentiates you. Highlight your expertise in the product or service.
  • Only go into something you're passionate about.
  • Save time to work on growing the business. Don't spend too much of your time on process stuff.
  • Know what your good at. Get other people who have strengths in your weak areas.
