ENTREPRENEURIAL ADVICE

Randy Wheat has spent his life watching other people and learning from their success and their mistakes. From those observations and his own lived experiences, Randy has some advice to offer.

1. Don’t carry debt. The more you get in over your head and overextend yourself, the more likely you are to fail.

2. Don’t get drug down by the negative. Hang around positive people and positive things will happen.

3. Be willing to make tough choices and live with them.

4. Don’t let anyone else dictate your future.

5. The word “no” only means you have to find a different way.

6. Have a good lawyer, a good banker and a good accountant (shout out to M&M Accounting & Tax Services) on your team.

7. No matter what else you do, pay the bank and pay your taxes
