I have become an entrepreneur because people tell me I am one. They tell me my company is a bootstrapper – we even got a prize for that. Government companies contact me wanting to help my start-up after we started getting successful and winning prizes!?

What’s wrong with this picture? Everything! Because this gives the impression that one plans to become an entrepreneur and that you just need the good idea to get started. This is wrong. And doing pitch contests is NOT the way to start and build a business (for most people).

In this talk I give you my story about studying, working and realizing a company that has doubled its turnover two years in a row and that was profitable from month nr. 1.
