46 Dallas-Fort Worth Entrepreneurs Share Secrets to Startup Success
From the D Magazine article
An excerpt from the D Magazine Article:
There’s nothing easy about launching a business. As entrepreneurs navigate challenges around funding, proof of concept, market reluctance, hiring, and more, they must learn to become comfortable with uncertainty. “My advice to entrepreneurs is not to grip the bat too hard. In other words, don’t take everything so seriously,” says George Baker Sr., founder and chairman of Dallas-based ParkHub. “Batters who hold the bat too tightly because they’re stressed out about making a mistake end up making mistakes simply because they’re too rigid and uptight. You need to loosen up and go with the flow and be nimble.” Baker and 45 other leaders featured here have made it through the uncertainty, successfully bringing new innovative products and services to market—all with the mission of bettering society. For a 16th year, D CEO is proud to profile all Southwest regional finalists in EY’s Entrepreneur Of The Year program.
