Taking the First Step Towards Entrepreneur Leadership

Unlike other careers, being an entrepreneur leader means you need to establish strong businesses, witness their progress every day and make sure that the company stays afloat in a competitive business world.

The only thing they need to focus on is making sure they continue to be consistent with their efforts, while being esteemed professionals who can tackle the challenges of their career on a daily basis. Fortunately, there are several professional entrepreneurs out there who can help to guide one in figuring out how to manage their entrepreneurship career. Veterans like Kevin Gordon are prime examples of revered American education advocates, entrepreneurs, and speakers through whom you can learn so much from.

During the early years of his career, Gordon was offered a position leading the staff of the United States Congressman Robert T. Matsui’s Sacramento office where he continued being in that position throughout Matsui’s exceptional role in the passage of HR 442, the Japanese-American Civil Liberties Act. Gordon was also involved with many efforts to pass state-wide school bonds for the construction and modernization of the school facilities and was known for being an outspoken opponent of two flawed ballot measures.

Eventually, his skills became well known among state and local officials as well as public policy experts in education specifically.  Following his work in public service, he was selected as the California School Boards Association chief lobbyist where he served for nearly 15 years and then later was appointed to the California Association of School Business Officials as the Executive Director (CASBO). The institution was centred on representing the opinions of California public school agencies on issues related to management and budget that impacted their school operations.

In 2012, Gordon co-founded a private lobbying firm “Capitol Advisors Group, LLC.” which represented school districts and county offices of education across California. Upon taking on this position, Gordon went all out, alongside other co-founders, to help non-profit education associations, local school agencies, private/industry sector interests, and various education coalitions in order to succeed in achieving essential outcomes for children aand schools cross California.

And as a successful entrepreneur, Gordon has shared valuable advice for aspiring entrepreneurs to guide them towards their first steps into making it big in their profession.

Keep Your Energy On One Business At a Time 

Sometimes when we are getting positive results from one of our business ventures, we let ourselves believe that we can start another company. But the time and effort that goes into being a serial entrepreneur is much harder than people would expect.

Managing a business means that you cannot afford to have your attention diverted. Hence, it is essential to make sure that your current business is established properly before moving ahead with other entrepreneurial plans.

Investing Your Time in The Right Place 

Unfortunately, many people take one win from their business as a sign that they should start another. And what they do not realise is that that approach will lead to significant increase in work and becomes an immensely difficult task to take on.

As a professional, it is crucial that you are aware of where you should invest your energy and where you should utilise your resources and management skills. Only then will you be able to effectively make use of your time to give your best to all of your business ventures.
