What is an entrepreneur, anyway?
Gino believes entrepreneurship falls on a range. On the left end of the spectrum, you have self-employed individuals, often freelancers. On the right end, you have true entrepreneurs like Henry Ford, Oprah Winfrey, and Steve Jobs.
True entrepreneurs are people that see a need in the world then take a risk to start a business to bring that need to the world, either by creating or improving upon something that exists and continues by building an organization with employees.
Gino believes that a True Entrepreneur embodies 6 traits:
- Vision
- Passion
- Problem-solving
- Drive
- Risk-taking
- Responsibility
In his book ‘Entrepreneurial Leap,’ Gino does a deep dive into these essential traits, painting a vivid picture of what it looks like to have the 6 essential traits alive and well. He also balances it out by riffing on the downside of having these traits.
If you feel you have these 6 traits, take the ‘Entrepreneurial Leap’ assessment to learn more.
