E226: : “Entertainers Are Entrepreneurs And Entrepreneurs Should Be Entertaining.” Brimstone Interview

Professional wrestler, actor, radio host and author, Brimstone joins The Mighty Pete today to share his story and how he went from childhood actor to creating a 30-year career in the entertainment industry. Together they discuss the hard work that goes into being an entrepreneur and entertainer, the importance of owning your IP and why you should never fear failure. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Entertainers are entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs should be entertaining. Entrepreneurs are working a lot harder than the people who work 9-5 often think that they are. It is not all fun and games.
• Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is a huge part of success, you cannot have success without failure. When things go wrong, you learn from it and you utilise those seeds of knowledge to plant and move forward ten steps.
• If you fail and wallow in your failure, you have lost. Take a few steps back from the situation and evaluate what went wrong, how it went wrong and figure out what you have to do to move forward and succeed.
• Fire in the belly is to have determination. Your fire in the belly is also the legacy that you leave behind. You want people to remember you for years to come.
• Not owning your IP and your trademarks means that you could encounter some difficulties in the future if somebody decided to take your ideas. It is the equivalent of working a 9-5 for 30 years and losing your job, having nothing to show for it.

“Entertainers are entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs should be entertaining.”
