Andreas Wilhelmsson started his first company when he was 17. As a young entrepreneur, he approached the largest supermarket chain in Sweden, where he lives, and asked what it would take to become their main supplier of produce. Now, at the age of 33, he grows healthy greens in a way that lets him provide sustainable food year-round. In this episode, Andreas shares what it’s taken to find his business success—including his growth mindset and his evolving entrepreneur motivation—and lessons he’s learned along the way.

Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:

  • The two passions that led to Andreas’s current company.
  • His advice for anyone looking to embark on an entrepreneurial career path.
  • How a success streak can put an entrepreneur in danger.
  • Why Andreas joined The Strategic Coach® Program.
  • Why he’s taken himself out of the day-to-day management of his company.

Show Notes:

Teenagers can’t even imagine a 25-year goal, but they can still dare to dream big.

Do something small every day that will get you closer to your big goal.

Don’t start with marketing. Start by going out and selling to the customer.

If you’re too stuck in your own mindset, you won’t dare to ask for help.

If you can’t figure out a solution, ask someone who’s done it before, and do what they did.

To fill challenging roles, you need to find people who enjoy those challenges.

If you challenge people, that can provide inspiration and energy.

Sharing your challenges is the way you grow.

The more time you take completely off work, the more you’re rejuvenated.

In general, people underestimate how much you get done when you’re doing the work you’re meant to do.
