LaMagna ultimately sold the business in 2004 after more than two decades of leadership, taking with him the lessons he had learned his life as an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to a crowd at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/locations\/new-york-city\/soho-west\">WeWork Soho West<\/a>, he shared some of those lessons, many of them detailed in his book <a href=\"http:\/\/icestoneusa.com\/product\/raising-eyebrows\/\"><em>Raising Eyebrows: A Failed Entrepreneur Finally Gets it Right<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"dont-procrastinate\"><strong>Don\u2019t procrastinate<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Though he\u2019s now renowned for his business acumen, LaMagna recounts how procrastination ruined a can\u2019t-miss project early in his career.<\/p>\n<p>In 1969, Coca-Cola expressed an interested in his idea for converting drive-in movie theaters to drive-in nightclubs. LaMagna, still in college, was overwhelmed by the support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy professor told me to ask for $100,000, and I was amazed that they agreed to it,\u201d he recalls. \u201cBut three weeks later, I didn\u2019t have anything together, and Coca-Cola cancelled all their promotional projects, including my own.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"take-calculated-risks\"><strong>Take calculated risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Risk-taking is an essential part of any successful enterprise, but LaMagna cautions entrepreneurs not to gamble. Instead, he advises that they \u201ctake calculated risks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The distinction was a hard-learned one. About the time LaMagna entered Harvard Business School in the late 1960s, a rich vein of gold was discovered in Alaska. He decided to invest quite a bit of money in the venture, but then stock prices bottomed out when it was clear most of the gold was beneath a sheet of ice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI literally lost my tuition the first day of school,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Though LaMagna was able to pull out of the slump, many aren\u2019t so fortunate. He says entrepreneurs should always weigh their options rather than take reckless risks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t invest in something you don\u2019t control,\u201d he cautions. \u201cI\u2019ve lost a lot of money that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"keep-it-simple\"><strong>Keep it simple<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-16392 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/IMG_0420.jpg?resize=316%2C474\" alt=\"5 Painless Tips for Startups From The Tweezerman Dan LaMagna\" width=\"316\" height=\"474\">It\u2019s tempting for a new business to diversify its offerings in order the reach more customers, but LaMagna encourages founders to \u201ckeep it simple and really focused.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I started Tweezerman, this tweezer was all I had,\u201d he says. \u201cI sold tweezers to people tweezing their eyebrows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company honed its signature product, adding nail clippers and other products only after customers and investors began to take the company seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Tweezerman also taught LaMagna that being single-minded is not the same as being close-minded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe persistent, but don\u2019t be obsessed,\u201d he says. \u201cYou may have to admit something isn\u2019t working.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"be-organized\"><strong>Be organized<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Businesses are organizations, and organizations should be organized. As a founder of a startup with limited resources, LaMagna says that you need to be \u201cfanatically organized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t,\u201d he says, \u201chire someone who is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When starting Tweezerman, Lamagna took great steps to ensure he was running a tight ship. He says that hiring the right people goes a long way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first person I hired, I followed them out to their car to make sure it was organized,\u201d LaMagna reveals. \u201cThat\u2019s how fanatical you have to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"empower-your-workers\"><strong>Empower your workers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Although LaMagna has built a successful business, he believes he could not have gotten where he is today without his employees. As CEO, LaMagna went out of his way to make sure his workers were invested in the company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI built Tweezerman into a $32 million business because I delegated to my employees,\u201d LaMagna says with pride. \u201cI made everyone a partner of Tweezerman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the company was sold, employees also benefitted because each was a shareholder. LaMagna believes that in the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, human goodness is among the most important lessons to enshrine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEmbed the employees in every level of
