What makes an entrepreneur? Entrepreneurs are constantly innovating, chasing down the next success, always trying to learn more and challenge themselves to take things to the next level. They understand what needs to be done, and they aren’t afraid of the hard work that needs to be done to get there.
There are key skills that an entrepreneur needs to know, but a lot of the time you don’t even know you need to know them - until you do. Digital marketing powerhouse and visionary creative Maxwell Nee is here to share what he wishes he had known when he was starting his own journey as a young entrepreneur. Leaving an unfulfilling role in corporate banking behind, he’s now grown his digital marketing agency into a multi-million dollar empire. Maxwell considers himself an entrepreneur first and investor second, and has found his passion in helping other start-ups realise their own dreams. We cover everything you need to know about being a successful entrepreneur, from creating efficient teams that drive your business forward, to never underestimating the power of networking in accelerating your growth. We also take a more personal look at the values of an entrepreneur, including understanding the value of self-awareness as your biggest tool towards advancing your career, and the specific skills and strategies you need to have to be the best version of yourself at work. Maxwell is generous with his advice as he gives us a masterclass in entrepreneurship 101.
