3. Who I am
In my business live I had to learn a lot:
I had to learn that my products were very often to genious and to early in the market. Customers didn`t believe that new ideas are good if they come from a small company. Only a market dominatiing company can set new standards.
Even technical oriented I had to learn that the best products don`t help if there is no sales organisiation
But I could learn so many things like designing new electronics, PCBs, SMD production. And of course how to market it.
And I could learn what it means to be responsible for people, to lead people.
Today, all this is my experience
I was always a designer, I liked to make products real, I never was an administrator
