Rael Bricker – Sell before You Buy the Inventory

<p><strong>BIO: </strong>From being 6,000ft underground in a mine to starting an education business (that grew to have more than 4,000 students) to spending years working in venture capital, Rael Bricker has seen it all.</p><p><strong>STORY: </strong>In 2001, Rael bought $85,000 worth of CD covers from Germany. He was attracted by the product but never did any research into how he would sell them and just went in blindly. Rael hardly made any money from the covers and ended up giving them to friends for free.</p><p><strong>LEARNING:</strong> Don’t spend a dime before researching the product and the market you want to venture into. In business, dive all in and adjust the course as you go.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p class="ql-align-center"><strong>“Business is not complicated.
