More Words of Wisdom from Reid Hoffman

by Scott Edward Walker on January 22nd, 2017

To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.”  Each week, we post a brief video of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics.  This week, we again present Reid Hoffman, co-founder and Executive Chairman of LinkedIn, a partner at Greylock Partners, and a brilliant entrepreneur and investor.

In this interesting interview (via VatorNews), Reid shares the following three solid tips to founders:

• “Get out there and do it.” (at 0:26)
• “Make sure you leverage your network in order to get information to know whether or not you’re on target.” (at 0:31)

• “”View [your startup] as a learning path by which you improve because certain amount of companies will fail but your network persists …” (at 0:46)

I hope you enjoy it. Cheers, Scott
