Lost in the Right Direction: Risk-Taking & Staying Present as a Student Entrepreneur
In this debut episode of Campus Startup, I sit down with Sean Tilson the founder of Octavis, SETimpact, Check it Plus, Swim Set and Project Shakti. Sean’s journey started young selling on eBay before evolving into a passion for identifying market trends, launching businesses, and navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship while studying. Sean shares his journey of navigating uncertainty, taking risks, and staying present while juggling multiple projects.
In this conversation, we explore:
- The mindset shifts that helped Sean grow as an entrepreneur
- The importance of embracing uncertainty and being “lost in the right direction”
- How to take calculated risks and learn from failure
- Managing multiple ventures while staying focused and avoiding burnout
- The power of community and surrounding yourself with the right people
Sean’s story is a great reminder that entrepreneurship is rarely a straight path. It’s about experimenting, adapting, and finding what truly energises you and excites you. Whether you’re already building something or just thinking about taking the leap, this episode is packed with insights to help you navigate your own journey.
