On today’s show, I sit down with Neil Patel to talk about entrepreneurship, his thoughts on side hustles, and how everyone should own their dream. Neil is a New York Times bestselling author and successful entrepreneur. He is also recognized as one of the Top 10 marketers by Forbes, and one of President Obama’s Top 100 entrepreneurs under 30. 

It’s easy to see just how successful Neil has become as a digital marketer and entrepreneur. He has over 750,000 subscribers on YouTube and nearly a million Facebook fans. 

Neil definitely knows his stuff and generously shares his information about the best digital marketing practices on his blog and podcast. I’m excited to share a conversation about his journey as an entrepreneur and the advice he would give to millennials who would like to become successful in their own ways. Hope you guys enjoy this episode. Let’s get started.

Hey, everyone, welcome to this week’s episode of Millennial Investing. I’m super excited to have Neil Patel with me today. Welcome to the show, Neil.

Thanks for having me.

Robert Leonard  1:23  

Let’s start the show by talking a bit about you. You’re a New York Times bestselling author. You were coined a Top 100 entrepreneur by Obama and a Top 100 marketer by Forbes. How did you get here?

Neil Patel  1:35  

Honestly, just grinding it out. It’s funny because a lot of people ask me what’s the secret, what’s the trick, and what’s the silver bullet. There really isn’t any of that. You do something long enough and you do it well enough. Eventually, things work out. 

I’m not the smartest person in the world by any means or any stretch. However, I’ve learned one simple concept over the years. You’re going to make mistakes as an entrepreneur no matter how smart you are, but the ones who succeed are the ones who continually learn from their mistakes and avoid making the same ones over and over again.
