Biography/Misc
My Q&A with e.factor: Name: Alon Ben Joseph Year: 1979 Country: The Netherlands City: Amsterdam Q: What is entrepreneurship for you? A: Fun, adventure, top sport and way of living. Q: What was your dream job when you were a kid? A: To become a jeweler :) Q: Why and how did you start your company? A: I rolled into the family business. But during my college years, I also co-founded an internet company. Q: Is this your first business? A: No, one of several. Q: If you were to start another business, what might it be? A: Consultancy. Q: What were some of the early companies you worked with? A: Too many to mention. Q: What is your definition of success and have you achieved it? A: A quote by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) comes to mind: “The greater danger of most of us lies not in setting our aim to high and falling short, but in setting too low and achieving our mark.” Success is relative… Q: Who has influenced you the most and has been your greatest inspiration? A: Very cliché: my parents. Q: What advice would you give to people who are thinking of becoming an entrepreneur? A: The grass is always greener on the other side. Yes, it gives you a lot of freedom, but also a total new set of ‘stress’. At the end the sum should be a plus for you! But, as Nike said it: “Just do it!” Q: Describe/outline to us what your typical day looks like? A: A lot of fun, A lot of phone calls, Really a lot of e-mails and creating added value every day! Q: Do you achieve balance in your life? A: Never, but it is oooh sooo much fun to find your own limits and push them further. Q: Where you see yourself and your business in 3 years? A: Number 1 eCommerce player in the jewelry & watch business. Q: And as a final question: If we could introduce you to anyone, who would it be and why? (you never know who we know!) A: Good one! This is a true entrepreneurs question (ask and share)! Love it! I would love to meet Lev Leviev. He is a self-made man that turned the complete diamond industry around. Living legend.

Provocative or simply just (good) marketing?
I was shopping in the city center of Amsterdam and this shop window made me stop immediately (real shopper stopper?!): What do you think, is this provocative or is this simply just (good) marketing by Diesel Jeans Co?
