		<description>Neil is the epitome of energy, creativity and ingenuity. His brain fires on overdrive!

Having finally met in person at IM Spring Break conference, his reputation precedes him. :-) He also delivered the goods when he spoke, and attendees walked away salivating for Kiss Metrics to launch.

I enjoyed the energy of the interview. Both of you rock and can carve out the futures you desire. Thanks for sharing tips and insights!</description>

		<description>Hi First time business owner determined to succeed!

Thanks for your very thoughtful comment.  What kind of business have you started?  Is it the accounting firm linked to your name?

If so, you need to remove the flash intro IMMEDIATELY!</description>

		<description>Great interview! I think one of the most valuable points here apart from stressing the importance of not being afraid to take risk and start young, is really surrounding yourself with people that have similar interests/goals (including income) as yourself. Definitely think that's important...  I learned (the hard way, no less) that having people around you that don't have similar goals/aspirations and don't have the same target (income/net worth) in mind as you can not only slow you down but over time break your spirit and result in you coming up short. You'll definitely need friends, but it's always interesting I think to note how people 'fall off' so to speak as you get closer and closer to your dreams. Be prepared! Becoming an entrepreneur is not only a job/career change, but really a total lifestyle change. Hence the ton of hours Neil mentions working. That's no joke.

Signed,

		<description>Sleep is for the weak!!! hahaha...

You know what Matt, it's as simple as putting yourself out there.  You're doing a great job at it, so if you just keep it up, you're going to find like minded people all over the place. I actually feel like you already have.

Finding business partners can be pretty difficult.  Neil lucked out and found his business partner in his sister's boyfriend.  I found my business partner because Yu-kai is my pledge bro from Delta Sigma Pi.

Try to reach out and leverage your Alma Mater.  Reach out to organizations you've joined.  Just let it be known that you're looking for a biz partner, and eventually you'll find the person.

Are there any tech events where you're at btw?</description>

		<description>Neil - thanks so much for taking the time to share your story. I am (finally) embracing the 'Just Do It' mentality (one step at a time) and am in the process of launching my first startup. I'll still do the 9 to 5 - something to pay the bills and keep my foot in the door, but I am finally telling myself to stop thinking and starting DO-ing - successful or not, it's time to seize the day. Carpe Diem, right?

What would be your advice for seeking out business partners? For example, if I'm looking for a designer to pair with my marketing and communications skills - where do I look if I don't have friends that would fit the bill? Is it as simple as shooting out a tweet asking for a designer? Obviously a partner is someone you have to trust and know on a personal level, but when your looking for a specialized skill, sometimes you have to go outside your circle of friends to find someone. Interested to hear your thoughts on this.

Jun - keep rocking this videos out man - you are a machine. GET SOME SLEEP DUDE! Looking forward to joining you on here soon!

-Matt

		<description>Jun:

Great interview of Neil Patel. I've been a reader of Neil's blog and came to know abt him from various sites but to get to know directly from him is something different. The best part of this interview and why it's different than previous ones is you have successfully addressed almost all concerns of today's bloggers and entrepreneur- How to get more comments or When to start a company or How to manage zillions of things in a day..

It's good to know that there's no easy way to get 200 comments on yr blog. First of all, you need to work hard on great contents and you also need to follow up with your readers to make them come back again and again.

As People say, you do not need to look further for any opportunity. You just have to look yourself and see if there's a need for anything. As Neil was ripped off by Internet Marketing Companies, instead of waiting for someone to start-up, why can't to do it yourself? This is another great point I have taken from Neil's interview.

Another good point is, in current Web wave, young and successful Web entrepreneur are always happy to help each other. They are also available- thru Blog or Twitter or just thru Email. To get in touch with the customer, you do not need to wait and do something different. Just send an email to offer your help and explain how you can make a change, just like Neil did to Tech Crunch CEO, and you'll definitely sure to get an answer. I think this type of feedback can only be seen in IT. I talked about similar to my friend other day, who works in Wall Street and he glared to me with wide open eyes. For him, it's no way near to even say Hi to Wall Street CEOs.

People generally don't talk about their failures until they become successful. Once they become successful, their failures seem like nothing but a path to a successful life and learning experience. I would love to hear from Neil that what have his previous failures taught about life or business? What did Neil analyze after failed on 6 companies to become successful on the next start-up?

I would have liked to see what Neil thinks about success. Does success mean to be interviewed by various media or getting invite for numerous conferences or having millions of dollars? I am sure that at every steps of the life it changes, at least for me, and I would have liked to know Neil's perspective on it.

Thanks Jun and keep it up.
