One of my all time favorite blogger / entrepreneur, Neil Patel, has agreed to let me interview him. I have a rough list of questions I will ask him but I would like to get a subjective view from the OnStartups community.

My proposed questions:

  1. How long have you known you wanted to be an entrepreneur and where did the inspiration come from?

  2. So far in your professional career what has been the most rewarding experience and why?

  3. What should a startup focus on in the beginning stages?

  4. What has been your biggest mistake that could have easily been avoided?

  5. Where do you see internet technology in 5 years?

  1. Who is your role model and why?
  2. What was the first job position you ever held?
  3. In your opinion, what is the single most important key to being successful in life?

I like to find out from successful people what their beginnings were like. Its very inspirational to hear of an average person from humble beginnings climb the ladder of success.
