The Efactor

Starting your own business? Flying solo doesn’t have to mean going at it alone.

I recently sat down with Adrie Reinders CEO of the San Francisco based company EFactor. A company designed with the entrepreneur in mind.

“EFactor is a social network or a platform for entrepreneurs where they can do business development, where they can find funding, find knowledge in the form of coaching and mentorship and cost saving.”

Reinders says the best tool they have to offer is mentorship. And in today’s world of social networks you can easily be connected with the right person. But first approach entrepreneurship with the right intentions and leave your doubts at the door.

“Getting rich soon is a fairy tale, if that’s what you’re going after it will be a big failure. The question I hear most is in relation to security, how sure can I be not to fail?”

His answer? Don’t do it. People who ask those types of questions should work for big corporations. Because in big corporations one person’s fear won’t kill the company.
