Q10 What are some axioms or principles that guided your entrepreneurial journey? @MastercardCAnws #StartupChats

[Hifyre @hifyre]

A9: Being an entrepreneur isn't all good days. It will be isolating at times and difficult knowing how many people rely on you. Make sure that you have a solid support network and that you don't forget to take care of yourself. #startupchats https://t.co/vO8G0DEeqC

[Startup Canada @Startup_Canada]

Q9 What are some aspects of entrepreneurship that haven’t been spotlighted to the most? @MastercardCAnws #StartupChats

[Hifyre @hifyre]

A8: With entrepreneurship comes a responsibility to think about the quality of your product, the wellbeing of your team, and the future of your company and it's impact. Your commitments are to your clients, your employees, and to any other stakeholders. #startupchats https://t.co/RCjKTKkK7D

Q8 What are some responsibilities and commitments that come with becoming an entrepreneur? @MastercardCAnws #StartupChats

[Hifyre @hifyre]

A7: Well @Startup_Canada for starters https://t.co/UUGa7sarGD. NACO (@AngelCapCanada) offers resources: https://t.co/lF2QtHtklF. The internet is always a very useful tool. And your network - ask around! Entrepreneurs LOVE helping others get started. #startupchats https://t.co/REMLPxVYRy

Q7 What are some supports and resources available if one is thinking about entrepreneurship as the next career step? @MastercardCAnws #StartupChats

[Hifyre @hifyre]

@GauvreauCPA Partnership is key! Having a co-founder that augments your weaknesses makes a strong team.

[Hifyre @hifyre]

A6: Yes absolutely. Everyone will have some skills already & some they need to learn. Being introverted might mean that pitching and selling are learned skills that aren't necessarily comfortable at first. Being an entrepreneur IS being out of your comfort zone. #startupchats https://t.co/FBDW3Sidwj

[Startup Canada @Startup_Canada]

Q6 Can an introverted person become an entrepreneur? How can they break barriers and let their ideas show themselves? @MastercardCAnws #StartupChats

[Hifyre @hifyre]

A5: Entrepreneurship is definitely a mix of both. You can learn the hard skills - leading, management, selling, etc, but to be a successful entrepreneur you must also be driven by your interests and vision. You can't really teach that! #startupchats https://t.co/tzXTG1Kpfc

[Startup Canada @Startup_Canada]

Q5 Is entrepreneurship something one can learn, or naturally grow into? @MastercardCAnws #StartupChats

[Hifyre @hifyre]

A4: Our team is made up of developers, designers, and product managers (to name a few), but we are ALL filled with the entrepreneurial spirit. We love solving problems. We love building the future. #startupchats https://t.co/Mi6Gbzxan9

[Startup Canada @Startup_Canada]

Q4 What are the main passion that drove you to become entrepreneur in the first place? @MastercardCAnws #StartupChats

[Hifyre @hifyre]

A3: How to prioritize tasks (there will be a billion), how to think about the big picture, how to sell your vision, how to lead a team #startupchats https://t.co/mwOww9BbSl

[Startup Canada @Startup_Canada]

Q3 What are some crucial skills that one should look to develop when they are considering to start up? @MastercardCAnws #StartupChats

[Hifyre @hifyre]

A2: Some telltale signs that you're a good fit to become an entrepreneur is that you love problem solving, you are a self starter, you like challenges, you know how to ask for help (trust us - this is important, you won't have all the answers), and you're adaptable. #startupchats https://t.co/0qHyATmHjx
