Mr.poncho & euro club

Mr. poncho, is a buisness created by a couple they went on sharktank but the investors didn't think it was that useful so they didnt invest into it and the couple walked out empty handed, what it is is a normal cover case for your ipod and then a metal rubber type push out button to wrap your headphones around, they have their own website now. a euro club, is a club for golf created by a doctor, he created this product in inspiration of his patients, cause they told him he should make it, it is a club used to urinate in,not used for playing golf it has a green curtain to cover. But the sharks thought it was more of a gag joke then a real product so most of them backed out until the last investor decided to invest in it for 70% of the company giving him 25k for the making of the company, and he took the deal.

- Key attributes of being an entrpreneur
- Work hard: dont become one if your planning on taking lots of holiday's or only thinking of working 6-8 hours a day, because when you're an entrpreneur you have to work long hard hours.
- Passionate: the best workers are the ones who are passionate about what they do.
- They learn from their mistakes.
- concerned about their reputation: "a reputation takes a life time to build, but it only takes a moment to destroy"
-if they need more employees they hire the best: dont be afraid to hire people who are smarter then you make sure you hire some employees that have skill's that you don't have.
- and finally stick with what you are good at.
- networking - build your network, 5000 names in his contract, use your contacts ask for help.
- dont make hasty decisions.
