An Entrepreneur Is…
An entrepreneur is someone who (in no particular order)…
- does things because he is passionate about them, not because someone asks/expects him to do it
- risks everything to follow his dreams
- never stops learning
- sees value in failure
- uses failures as building blocks of success
- builds friendships, not contacts.
- goes from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm (Winston Churchill coined that phrase)
- helps others without asking for anything in return
- values people more than he values his assets
- has a pen and paper on his nightstand to write down ideas in the middle of the night or a phone with an app to do that
- carries pen and paper (or phone with an app) to write down thoughts and ideas
- actually looks back on his notes and evaluates ideas/thoughts and acts on them
- realizes his fear of failure, yet doesn’t stop because of it
- is humble, arrogance breeds nothing but resentment from others
- does things, not just talk about them all-day
- doesn’t dismiss any ideas as failures without testing them and getting feedback from others
- takes cliche and turns it into the new trend
- is not a copycat but an innovator
- smiles in the face of adversity, positivity breed positivity
- treats obstacles and challenges as gas stops on his way to success
- follows someone on Twitter because he wants to, not because he wants them to follow him back
