Sarah Cook of Raising CEO Kids conducted an interview with TattooID CEO Steven Gordon.

Here’s an excerpt:

“Sarah:  What is the best advice or tips you would like to share with young entrepreneurs?

Steven: Surround yourself with people who want to see you progress. Do not keep negative people around you who are pessimistic, because they will only slow you down. Also, there will be times when you will end up in a dark place and feel hopeless, but you have to remember that not everyone is doing what you are. You are in a unique position to take control of your future. Don’t let the world take that away from you.”
