Challenges for young entrepreneurs: Max Gouchan at TEDxBergen

Max believes that one can acquire success through entrepreneurship and that education is not necessary the right way for everyone. After dropping out of high school and starting a supply company to the petroleum sector, Max has become one of the most successful young entrepreneurs in Norway.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

love when people break it down simply like this dude, rather than speak with extreme vocab that isn't going to uplift the youth, this man kept it simple but got to the point, good work

[jiayangzhou]

Thank you for sharing useful information, it really helped me in knowing the challenges and ways to overcome while starting a new business.

[KhushaliShahkshah]

I love it how knowledge this person is makes me motivated !

[NicolaGrace]

Great video. Lack of knowledge, time or even money are no excuses to start up your own business. Motivate yourself and go beyond your limits.

[patricialim]

Love these types of speeches from very young people who decided to go for it. Heard a couple other ones from youthpreneurs in countries across the world. They certainly have inspired me :)

[claudettelingatbanares]

Wonderful!  Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us.

[Kuzhy]

I'm so inspired. Why should I work and not love what I'm doing and having fun doing it!!? Thank you for sharing your wisdom!!

[Clipanatic]

is there any websites to share ideas and just communicate and meet people who have entrepreneurship dreams ?

[mohdabiduzair]

That was so good. He thinks about life and work, same as I do.

[GregHib]

What a great speech so relatable! 5 days a go I didn't have the knowledge. In the last 4 days I have learnt next to 4 programming languages (hmtl, css, jquery, js, php) and have already done a ton of work on my website idea.

Next-up's money which ill have to find but i don't think will be to much of a problem.

After that who knows, Let's see how it goes from there :)

[mohammedmuzammil]

Got the right inspiration for doing what i wanted to do. Thankyou!

[GeraldAlfred]

Thank You Max Gouchan great value delivered here and very inspirational for a #youngentrepreneur  such as myself.  I wish you continued success brother and I can't wait to see you grace the covers of magazines such as Success, Forbes, and all of the others that you are deserving of.  Keep grinding bro and Keep inspiring!

[SuperHaya]

What an inspirational talk! congratz and wish you further success in the future.

[Viraltnteam]

I think that Time is probably the most crucial one here.  People are not passionate about what it is that they do, so they often find time to browse Facebook, watch countless hours of YouTube that doesn't even provide them value, and they end up getting further and further behind in the long run by not pursuing what makes them happiest the most.  What makes you the happiest?

[PocketsC]

AMAZING, trying to start a business at the moment very inspiring 

[aaronarauj]

Great talk, very mature for someone his age. Well done!

[ahmedhasan]

[sayrgdr]

Thank you so much for the advice, hopefully we can work together one day if I make it as a young entrepreneur :)

[hunterphillips]

its one thing to find your 'passion' and follow your dream, its another to make money off it.  if your passion is a solid, innovative business model, great! if not?... im also also little confused as to how the idea for the company came to be. he said he got a call from a guy he didnt know?? and then they went to a weekend entrepreneur seminar/ convention? and then they were inspired to start an "innovative oil-related business Click Lift". what is that exactly? 
i want to add that i enjoyed the presentation and i like this guy's attitude. I just think its not easy to be so optimistic if you dont have a good idea for a business
