Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in finance but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Daniel Diaz, President of Aptus Merchant Services, Inc., located in Holladay, UT, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I run an independent sales organization. In addition to helping business owners accept credit and debit card payments for goods and services, we help business owners organize for success, create or perfect their brand, and deliver a constructive customer experience.
Tell us about yourself
I enjoy participating in success. I enjoy helping business owners create a lifestyle that is safe and secure. I enjoy helping business owners through the challenging parts of the business and seeing them celebrate on the other side. I appreciate my clients because they support my hopes, dreams, and accomplishment of my goals. I want to do the same for them.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I would say facing myself, my ego, my fears, my expectations, finding my true self, accepting myself, and playing to my strengths. I am willing to learn and make the changes to be who I want to be.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The most challenging thing about being a business owner is prioritizing my time for accomplishment. Our difficulties in life are primarily due to confused ideas and ignorance of our true interests. To know oneself is the only remedy.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Know internal and external self.
- Find someone who has been where you have been and want to be.
- Find out what that person did in your position and work from there.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
The road to success will have a framework like others while being unique to your preferences. So learn from others that are successful while accepting your unique path.
