A short YouTube interview clip in which Tony Meredith is asked for the single best piece of advice for new business founders. He advises persistence—"keep going"—emphasizing delayed gratification, taking action, and following an established process (particularly in a local/franchise context).
What's the number one piece of advice you'd give to someone who's looking at starting a business or has just started a business? And you can only give them that one piece of advice. What would you want to leave them with on that?
Keep going. Keep going. You know, and in the sense of we've talked about it, you know, at different parts over this last hour, but keep going. Take action. You know, you're not going to have instantaneous success. You use the words delayed gratification. Business is not meant to be easy. It's about keep going and just keep following that process. And the thing that I love about the local guys is you've got a well laid out process, and my job is just to follow it. But keep going.
