Having bootstrapped four successful businesses over a 40-year, Minneapolis-based career, Jim Schell is a serial entrepreneur.    Following the sale of his fourth business, Jim began a writing career and has authored eleven books, including co-authoring Small Business for Dummies, one of the nation’s leading sellers in that category.     Since Jim moved to Bend in 1994, he founded Opportunity Knocks, CO 2-1-1, Volunteer Connect, TEDxBend, and Looking Forward.     He also led turnarounds at the Humane Society, the Partnership to End Poverty, and the Boys &amp; Girls Club, and currently mentors several dozen people. He is a past member of the Governor’s Council on Small Business.    At 83 years old, this guy has seen it all, and he shares some incredible insight such as:  💥 The difference between wisdom and knowledge  💥 Good niches vs. bad niches  💥 The best question he's EVER been asked  💥 The loneliest profession in the world  💥 Why you need a naysayer  💥 What it's like to get old   Between the stories and the advice, it's certainly worth a listen.
