Since starting interviewing entrepreneurs.

There are a lot more sounds around us than we think. This explains the feedback I am getting about the audio quality.

Rings, glass tables, car horns and more make a lot more noise than you think.

I say ‘yeah’, ‘ehh’, other annoying phrases and echo more than I like. I am working on it.

The solution is out there and there is a lot of it.

So I will be doing a lot of reading, watching online videos, asking friends and strangers “do you know how to do this?” and more.

I started so I will finish.

So stay with me. It will get better.

I have never done this before so the challenge was how to begin.

It turned out that the beginning after I decided that I was going to do it was to ask the right person. “If I do some audio interviews for you will you be interested in using them on your website and app?”.

The response was “Yes and I will help find you entrepreneurs that you can interview”.

And so began what is now AsiaBizStories.

I still have a long way to go: sound, workflow, improving the website etc. With four interviews online and another about to go online next week, I feel pretty good now.

The important lessons I have learned from the entrepreneurs I have interviewed already are:

• Create your minimal viable product (MVP). The reason why the site is so bare at the moment.
• Don’t listen to anyone that is negative on the idea. Why I haven’t waited longer than now.
• Listen to people that have a positive spin on the idea and can give suggestions on how to improve it. Why I have started.
• There will be times when you feel bad about what you are doing. Doesn’t last long.
• You will feel super good about what you are doing. Lasts longer than the previous.
