Andrew Tai had it all; a great career in investment banking with a promising future. But he left all of that behind to follow his dream: having his own business.
It started with Unhaggle, and today he is the CEO of MotoInsight, a global technology company (SaaS business) that makes buying new cars easier.
He has been in business for over a decade now, but doesn't take that for granted. There's so much he has learned over the past years and happily and openly shares with us in this episode.
- What motivated Andrew to leave the comfort of a secure job behind and start his own business
- How Andrew totally shifted from what they did as a business in the beginning to where they’re at now
- What is needed to change some or all parts of how you run your business
- Other ways to start a business than by raising money
- A particular area in business that Andrew wasted his time on (learn from them 😉)
- An unfortunate truth about entrepreneurship
- How do you keep standing when things get hard? And there will be hard times…
- Andrews perspective on a God-given calling in life
- Would he ever go back to his secure job? (and he gives a beautiful answer!)
- What would current Andrew advise his younger, busy, self that is just starting out his business?
I hope you will enjoy this rich conversation!
