YE Interview Series Part 6: Jesse Lear, Serial Entrepreneur

Jesse Lear offers his opinion on entrepreneurship in this interview. You won't want to miss out on this one. Check it out:

Question 1:  What is your inspiration for getting into business and
 what makes you get out of bed every morning?
Answer: I have big dreams; dreams big enough that they could only come
true three different ways.  
1) By winning the lottery (which I don't
play), 
2) by becoming a celebrity via music, movies, or sports (none of
which I'm extremely talented in), or 
3) by succeeding in business. 
Business is a way that anyone can reach their dreams by coming up with
 a good idea and going after it with passion and determination.  I love
 the challenge and the potential that being a young entrepreneur holds.
  
When the day of my last breath comes, I want people to think about me and
say, "He knew what he wanted and he got it.  He created an amazing life
for himself by making a positive impact on others' lives."  Each day is
another opportunity to take another step towards making that statement
 a reality.  That's what makes me get out of bed every morning.

Question 2:  What was your first venture, and is it the one you're most
proud of?
Answer:  My first venture was started when I joined a network marketing
team under my dad's name at the age of 15.  I'm not sure it's the
venture I'm the most proud of, but it was definitely the most
influential one.  Two of my dad's friends took me under their wings and
taught me, stretched me, and believed in me.   They made an incredible
difference in the direction of my life.  That experience was what
originally inspired me to become passionate about personal development
and achieving big things.

Question 3:  What are you working on now? Answer:  I recently returned from 5 months of living and studying in Dublin, Ireland.  It was an amazing semester, and I was able to use my own experiences adapting to the culture to write a very cool e-book called Dublin Secrets.  It basically contains all the tips, hints, and
stories I wished I would have had access to before my own trip.  The
e-book will be for sale online within a couple of weeks.  
Also, next month my dad and I are launching a series of nationwide
seminars teaching ordinary people how to make extra money on Saturdays
by photographing weddings.  My dad, a professional photographer for 30
years, has photographed over 1,000 of them and will be teaching the
seminars.  He's hired me to design and run effective marketing
campaigns, as well as create and manage his web presence.  Ultimately,
it's my job to get each seminar completely sold out as soon as
 possible.
This is the project I'm most passionate about right now because it has
the potential to provide a sizable and steady monthly income for me as
I start more of my own ventures.

Question 4: What advice can you give up and coming entrepreneurs?
Answer:  My advice is that if you have a dream, you have it for a
reason.  Treat it like gold, and don't let anyone shake your purpose to
make it reality or quench your faith that you will.  Stop trying to
figure out how you will get what you want.  Just form a clear mental
picture of what you want and prepare yourself to accept the
opportunities to get make it happen when they appear.  My #1 tip:  Read
the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles.          
P.S.  Earn extra money on Saturday afternoons.  Check this out!
