Guy Vincent | Founder of Publishizer

Besides having cool hair, Guy is an extraordinary gentleman that
is passionate about making change. Some may call him a friend,
others may call him family, but I would like to classify Guy as a
nomad. This young man has traveled the world and has reaped the
benefits of learning from different cultures. Now, some people
can say in confidence that they are focused individuals, but Guy
on the other hand is on a completely different level. Guy, is
laser focused on developing a better product for his company
Publishizer. Originally from Australia, currently living in
California (UPDATE: Guy is currently living in Bali), Guy has
been working on Publishizer for 2 years now. Publishizer is a
crowdfunding platform for authors and publishers. As of December
2015, Publishizer has funded $430,000+ in author earnings.
Publishizer core mission is to connect authors to publishers. It
has also become the first ever crowd publishing website. Get
Started! There isn't a perfect idea! Guy mentions that you need
to get started. Simple as that. Find engineers, talk to people,
find co-founders if you need to, but just get something out
there. Create an MVP and put yourself on the map. No matter what
it takes to do so. Focus On Selling Something If you cant sell
something, then you won't be able to get feedback on the product
itself. Selling doesn't have to be the exchange of money. It
could be as simple as having people sign up, but by focusing on
selling, you'll be able to ask for feedback. That way, you can
create a better product! Once you try to actively sell something
to someone, you figure out quickly if you're creating something
that has value. If its not valuable you'll know you have to
change your direction. It doesn't necessarily have to be a
drastic change in direction, but a slight change none the less.
Keep At It When Guy was creating Publishizer, he had a couple of
close calls and ended up having that feeling of giving up. Like
most entrepreneurs, it's normal. But what Guy suggests is to not
make any drastic decisions that could potentially derail your
company, or also change the lives of those around you. Guy
suggests that if you have the ability to do so. take some time
off to clear your head. "If you have to take a week off...do it."
Says Mr. Vincent. If you're at that early of a stage, it could be
beneficial. "Ride through those periods of doubt and you'll find
new ideas or even a different approach." Once you come back, get
back into the grind and try to pump things out. Guy Vincent
