Fear of regret drives me more than fear of failure.
Manage episode 493703328 series 2864169
Rob Kramer shares his journey as a serial entrepreneur who has built businesses across Ireland, Portugal, and Brazil, driven by his "fear of regret" and desire to live life on his own terms.
• Austrian by birth but citizen of the world, having lived in Ireland, Portugal and Brazil
• Started his first wholesale distribution company while still in college
• Currently runs "the world's sexiest bakery" according to Yahoo News
• Survived a near-fatal accident at 19 that gave him a new perspective on life
• Works successfully with his girlfriend as a business partner, challenging conventional wisdom
• Finds inspiration from unusual sources including Grand Theft Auto and Arnold Schwarzenegger
• Values complementary skills and shared mission over personal affinity in co-founder relationships
• Advocates for "owning the chaos" and starting imperfectly rather than waiting for perfect conditions
Just start now and perfect it later - there's no such thing as perfect, so if you fight for perfection, you're lost.
