Don't Just Skate By — Tony Hawk's Strategies for Starting a Business During Tough Times You hear it everywhere, every day. The market is down. Times are tough. People are struggling. But what if an unstable economy is the perfect time to start a business? That's exactly what Tony Hawk did when he created a multimillion-dollar skateboarding empire during a flat market and waning public interest. Here's what Tony has to say about using tough times to your advantage: Know it is risky, but do it anyway. "I felt like if I could start a company when skating was at one of its deadest states, then if it takes off again, we set ourselves up to be in a position of prominence and we'd just ride the wave." Recognize the advantages of a flat market. "For someone to come in once the sport takes off, it's just going to take way too much capital and way too much marketing money to get in a position to be recognized." Make sure you are passionate about your idea or product. "I focused all of my energy on it because I loved it so much and I felt like, you know, I want to make this happen." Don't just grab deals as they come—scrutinize. "I learned the hard way not to hand everyone the keys to all your opportunities. I gave them the power to have the final say in projects and deals and it cost me." Click to read the next four tips from Tony Hawk!
