Conversations With A Genius- Fun Small Business Talk

Today's Genius is Matt Miller, he spent the first 9 years of his career as an Air Force pilot, before entering the corporate world to work at both Abbott Laboratories and Valassis. While a top performer for both companies, his long term desire was to start a business and be his own boss.  A good friend one day mentioned the gum ball machines he and his young daughters owned, and that conversation began a 10 year business quest that has brought Matt's company, School Spirit Vending, to the cutting edge of both the vending and school fundraising industries.  Today, School Spirit Vending's Hassle-Free fundraising program is helping schools across the country raise money in it's own unique way. In today's conversation we discuss:   What you need to know to be your own boss The road to success is a marathon not a sprint Get the right people to hear about your business Make your dreams come true by helping others live their dreams What would happen if you Stopped thinking about it and just did it
