๐ The Ingredients of Entrepreneurship ๐
๐ The Ingredients of Entrepreneurship ๐
In this episode of the Be Helpful Podcast, Ravi Kurani reflects on the key ingredients that fueled his entrepreneurial spirit.
"Growing up, I watched my dad, who immigrated from India, turn challenges into opportunities. With a master's in chemistry, he struggled to find a job in the U.S. and ended up running pool routes. One day, he impressed a customer with his water chemistry knowledge, leading him to grow a single store into 30!"
Ravi shares how his family's journey in the business world taught him the value of hard work and resilience. From sweeping floors to learning the ins and outs of water chemistry, he was all hands on deck from a young age.
With a background in mechanical engineering from UC Riverside and a brief stint at NASA, Ravi combines his technical expertise with his entrepreneurial roots to drive innovation.
Join us as we explore how personal experiences shape our paths to success!

๐ Building a Winning Team in Entrepreneurship ๐
Curious about how to assemble the right team for your startup? In this episode of the Be Helpful Podcast, Ravi Kurani shares his journey of building Sutro from the ground up.
"We raised money pretty early on through an accelerator called Bolt. Their model provided shared resources, including mechanical and electrical engineers, which was crucial for tackling the challenges of hardware development. Unlike software, where you can quickly iterate, hardware requires precisionโevery detail matters."
Ravi emphasizes the importance of having the right expertise on board, starting with his first hires: a chemical engineer and a mechanical engineer. He highlights that focusing on core technology is essential before expanding into other areas like electronics and software.
Tune in to learn how to navigate the complexities of team building and funding in the hardware space! ๐ง๐ก

Self sabotaging your own success... the money ceiling.
Ever feel like you're sabotaging your own success? ๐ค
Like a thermostat, we often stay within our money-making comfort zone, even when we're capable of more. We hit our "ideal" income and subconsciously start to hold back. This self-sabotage can manifest as procrastination, overthinking, or even avoiding opportunities. How do we break free?
On a recent episode, we discussed this very topic, exploring how fear and limiting beliefs can hold us back from achieving our full potential. We also dive into the insights shared by Sarah Lockwood on the power of mentorship, accountability, and community in overcoming these challenges.
Sarah's experience with an accelerator program, designed to help businesses scale from $250K to $1M in revenue, highlights the importance of surrounding yourself with the right support system.
Key takeaways:
โ
Recognize Self-Sabotage: Are you playing it safe, even when you know you could be pushing further?
โ
Seek Mentorship: Find someone who has been there and can guide you through the challenges of growth.
โ
Embrace Community: Connect with other entrepreneurs who understand the unique struggles of building a business. Don't rely solely on friends and family who may not grasp the complexities of your journey.

Let's get scientific about it.
Your brain uses energy - it cannot store it! So you need to take care of this vital organ and nourish yourself as a business owner so that you can continue to give (to your business, your clients, and the folks around you).
Taking care of yourself and maintaining your mindset is the best way to succeed in the long term - and that's what we're going for. Gregg Goodhart from @gregggoodhart_learningcoach was one of our favorite past guests.

A little bit of hope goes a long way.
Here's the thing: setbacks are gonna happen. And yeah, they can be tough to swallow. But what if I told you that every time you stumble, you're actually one step closer to success?
It's true. Every mistake, every failure, every 'no' is a chance to learn, to grow, and to come back stronger. So don't give up, even when the road ahead looks foggy. Keep pushing forward, even when it feels like you're walking in the dark. Because on the other side of perseverance is a spark of hope that will light the way to your dreams. And trust me, it's worth fighting for
Don't give up on your dream. Take it from Dana Broder, past Be Helpful Podcast guest and (you guessed it) - yes, she became a stylist. Listen to her story through our links and follow her at @styled_by_artofthestyle to learn more!
