John Barksdale: Tips for Young
Entrepreneurs
Successful Entrepreneur
John Barksdale is a successful entrepreneur with experience dating to age
thirteen, when John Barksdale founded his first company. Today, he’s the
Chairman and cofounder of iAM Marketing.
Tips like these can help young entrepreneurs follow the footsteps of John
Barksdale to success:
● Get Uncomfortable
● Find Fulfillment
Get Uncomfortable
Mr. John Barksdale did not get where he is today by being comfortable. He made
his first million by seventeen because he continually stepped outside of his
comfort zone seeking new challenges.
“At the age of fifteen,” reads Mr. Barksdale’s bio, “again feeling the need to step
outside of his comfort zone to allow for personal growth, he became one of the
top sellers in his area for a satellite company by going the challenging route of
selling door to door.”
Find Fulfillment
If your work isn’t fulfilling, you’re unlikely to dedicate everything you are to it. You
must find work that makes you feel satisfied, happy and stimulated. This
approach has helped Mr. Barksdale live true to himself while finding great
success.
“Twelve months into his run with a National Travel Club he had recruited nine
thousand representatives,” reads his bio. “Despite the fun that the travel industry
presented, John missed the fulfillment of directly impacting people that he had
experienced in the health and wellness industry.”
