Takeaways: Embrace Both Success and Failure: Eddie believes that entrepreneurs should discuss their failures as openly as their successes, highlighting the importance of resilience and learning from setbacks. Value and Pricing Are Everything: A common blind spot for founders is not testing whether customers will actually pay for their product, and undervaluing their services is a typical misstep. Charging based on real value—and being willing to ask for more—is crucial for growth. Recurring Revenue and Relationships Win: Transitioning from one-time transactions to ongoing relationships, such as subscriptions, can transform any business—even the most traditional industries—by focusing on long-term customer value and retention. Sound Bytes: "You do not have to face the odds which are daunting that most people face as entrepreneurs today. There are a few things you can do to radically improve your chances of success." "If you only perfect the recipe and get it out there, but people aren’t willing to pay what you need, then you’re not in possession of a business idea—you’ve got a great hobby." "Every person who leaves you as a customer at one point said yes. Your job is to figure out what changed between yes and cancellation."
