“Out Think, Out Profit, Out Earn!” – Charles Gaudet

Inspiration:
“Freud would probably have a field day on me.”

Charles’ father owned his own business and there were times he would come home and he would tell Charles, “Kid, if you ever want to make it for yourself you have to start your own business.” also “Hey Kid, I want you to remember one thing. Employees suck. Don’t ever be an employee.” Charles does say that he does disagree in part as focusing on the idea that everybody works with you, not for you. When Charles started selling artwork to his neighbors it started him on the path due in part to the feeling of satisfaction from getting the approval of his father.

Challenge:
Charles found himself quickly in a vast amount of debt, personal relationships were shot, and he was working nearly every waking hour every day of the week. Lack of sleep and pains all over his body were the signs of over stress and the doctors started to say that the stress was going to kill him.

Charles didn’t really think that it wasn’t out of the norm to be doing what he was.

Passion:
Charles is highly passionate with his children and spending time with his family. He loves to live life to the fullest. His son and daughter both have their own businesses with cards and stationery.

Advice:
The best business advise that Charles ever received he says was from about 20 years ago. At the time he wanted to create a new business. He went to meet with his mentor at the time and he said, “Charlie, it doesn’t matter, you’re so focused on the idea. The idea DOESN’T matter, you could sell paperclips, if you make the best paperclip to market and show people that you can do it in a unique a more beneficial way you will create a million-dollar business in no time.”
