Viet Ha Do<\/a> who was gracious enough to give her advice to young or aspiring entrepreneurs.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\nWhat advice do you have for someone interested in starting their own company?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nMake sure you have a viable business plan prior to starting out. As Benjamin Franklin once said, \u201cIf you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is the biggest mistake you see others making in business?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nNot following through on what they take on. People are usually extremely enthusiastic about their ideas at the get-go, but they lack the persistence of seeing their concepts all the way through to completion.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat are the key elements for starting and running a successful business?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBeing in right place at right time, as I believe the timing is everything in business. Even the best ideas for a business will fail if they are implemented at the wrong time.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBy the same token, it is important to recognize when the appropriate time comes to dispose of specific business projects due to either inopportune market conditions or potential risks accumulating on the horizon.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is your approach to starting a new project or business venture that others may find helpful?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBrainstorm about the venture and the specific goals of a venture with trusted business partners or advisors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nI always believed in having a solid \u201csounding board\u201d to vet any and all new business ventures.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat are some of the keys to effective decision-making?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAlways thoroughly think through the task at hand. Haphazard and rash decision-making will not get you far.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat advice would you give your younger self?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nFailure is inevitable, you can\u2019t prevent it from happening. Don\u2019t get stuck in the moment, because even the worst failures can bring good life lessons which can open new doors.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Viet Ha Do is currently the CEO and Chairman of a Tennessee-based real estate investment and advisory company, Habringer Group, Inc. \u00a0 Viet Ha Do began her professional journey at Merrill Lynch.
