Hello Steemit!
My name is Max Gouchan, and im a 24 year old serial entrepreneur from ice cold Norway.
During the last few years I have failed a lot, succeeded in some and learned shitt load of stuff. This days I travel a lot sharing my entrepreneurial experiences as a public speaker when not busy running my two sushi restaurants and 3 food trucks in Norway.
Being an entrepreneur is both rewarding and tough. Trough sharing my knowledge and inspiring young people I hope other can learn by the numerous mistakes I have done and avoid doing the same.
In the past I have done everything from technical oil and gas startup to owning 6 stores that does it repair and selling that company to be director of a branding and design agency. After some time ( and it takes time to find what you really are passionate about ) I decided to spend time in hospitality, retail and food industry.
For a long time I have wanted to regularly blog about entrepreneurship and give hands on advice and thoughts about the entrepreneur life. Though I never had the disiplin to make a consistent blog. Recently a friend reccomended checking out Steemit and I immidiately fell in love in the idea. I hope now to be an active member of this community and upvote great ideas and thoughts.
I truly am grateful for every follower and every upvote if that means that my message to empower other entrepreneurs to succeed will succeed hehe. The easiness of Steemit to motivate people to put their thoughts in writing is absolutely amazing and I think what the world is need is exactly something like this!
Thanks for reading this, whats your biggest challenge in actually taking the step to follow your dreams and work full time on them? To take the risk of a unsecure financial life in order to pursue something you believe in? Please share and comment :)
