#2: Andrew Bliss, founder of The Adventurous Mailbox:

We chatted with with Andrew, founder of The Adventurous Mailbox ($10K/month). In our interview, Andrew says:

No one is an expert in every aspect of running a business, and you are losing an opportunity by not bringing in others. Once more people became part of my operation, a lot more great ideas came about and the business benefited greatly.

Additionally:

It is hard as an entrepreneur to give up control of what you create, but eventually what you create has to take on a life of its own, and you have to be smart enough to let it outgrow you.

Further:

It is good to have a vision of the life you want to be living, and then start a business that will get you there. For me, I knew I wanted to live abroad, travel, and rely on my creativity. I also wanted to be involved in education and have a positive impact.
