Jaden Garza – Being an Entrepreneur and Tech Visionary
I have said this before, and I’ll say it again – it takes a lot. It takes a lot more than you can think of. And it is supposed to be like that because if it wasn’t, everyone would have done it. If it was easy, everyone would have been a successful entrepreneur.
All the efforts, sacrifices, and hard work – all of that is
necessary to become a successful entrepreneur. You’ve to be ready for the grind
– anytime and every time. Whether day or night, you’ve to be on your toes ready
to get on client calls, bring together people for emergency meetings, crisis
management, and what not.
Time and again, people come to me and say that successful
entrepreneurs have it in their genes, it is their destiny, and they’ve got the
code ever since they were born. My answer to them? - BS, crap – anyone can
become an entrepreneur, a successful entrepreneur, given you have the
willpower, you never say never, and you never quit.
Hard work trumps talent. Consistency trumps talent. And continuous
efforts also trump talent. Therefore, it’s all about the grind.
For those who don’t know me - I'm Jaden Garza, an entrepreneur and
visionary in tech, and the founder and CEO of Nomad Internet. Today, I have
decided to share my entrepreneurial journey with you, detailing how I arrived
at where I am now.
The path wasn't easy—it was far from a bed of roses. I experienced
numerous ups and downs, setbacks, and successes.
You’re listening to someone who mishandled his own company’s
fundraising. I didn’t take it seriously enough; I treated it like a fashion
parade and didn’t prepare well for my pitch.
There were many hiccups and eventual failures. Despite meticulous
planning and strategy, I often fell short of my goals. Financial issues plagued
me, my reputation took hits, relationships soured, and morale was low.
However, I possessed one key quality: the refusal to give up.
Despite all the negatives, I remained steadfast. Day in and day out, I told
myself, “Don’t you ever back off, boy!” I knew I had to keep going until I
achieved what I wanted.
And so, I did. In the early years of running my company, I realized
I had to change my approach. If I wanted to succeed, I had to take things
seriously. This is when I began to cultivate a growth mindset—a mindset that
drove not only my success but also that of my team members.
Reflection and learning were the cornerstones of my entrepreneurial
journey. This became evident when I failed to secure solid fundraising from
investors. The fault was mine; I went in unprepared. That’s when I understood
the importance of learning before taking action.
The rejection was a setback, but instead of dwelling on it, I
reflected and assessed where I went wrong. Honest introspection and
self-assessment proved invaluable, helping me position myself better.
As I improved these skills, I learned to adapt and pivot. I vividly
remember when my competitors were threatening my company’s survival. But I’m
not one to back down easily. I sought new opportunities—areas my competitors
overlooked. I explored the unknown and tapped into untapped resources.
This strategy propelled my company ahead of the competition.
Since then, it has been a remarkable journey, one I’ll cherish until
my last breath. If someone were to ask, “Mr. Jaden Garza, describe your
entrepreneurial journey in one sentence?”
My answer would be: Embrace a growth mindset, reflect on your
actions, learn from mistakes, seek support, adapt, pivot, and stay resilient.
