Anything And Everything How Entrepreneurs Can Be Heroes Or Villains
Entrepreneurs come in all types. Just like in TV, movies, and theater, there are character archetypes in the entrepreneurial world. Jeffrey Madoff and Dan Sullivan discuss the ways entrepreneurs can differ from one another, what all of them have in common, and some of the traits they need for success.
Show Notes:
The earliest definition that fits entrepreneurs of today is: an entrepreneur is someone who takes a resource from a lower level of productivity to a higher level of productivity.
Society is generally pretty forgiving of entrepreneurs because they move things forward that benefit a lot of other people.
There are entrepreneurs who raise the value of something, but it only benefits themselves.
Some entrepreneurs’ work robs and endangers people.
The basis of entrepreneurism is someone who has a conception of the future where they can be better off if they take certain actions that would be daunting or even dangerous for other people.
With entrepreneurs, as with fictional characters, it's about the individual decisions and actions that they take and the consequences of them.
To achieve their goals, both entrepreneurs and story heroes have to make sacrifices.
The founders of the U.S. were basically all involved in entrepreneurial activities.
Wanting to have more power isn’t necessarily bad.
As you become more successful, you need to reinvent yourself.
