Download or read book The Model Entrepreneur written by Mehdi Rezazad and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It starts out as a simple idea by someone liberated from conventional thinking and the beaten path. With perseverance and dedication, it gains momentum and rapidly becomes a viable concept. As it evolves, it grows into an adventure and becomes the mission. The entrepreneur in charge is now poised to turn the original idea into a phenomenal commercial achievement. And this is where the epic story of success begins. As is demonstrated in this book, the exceptional entrepreneur need not have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Or to have been a graduate from an Ivy League school. Or to have been equippped with an outsize cerebrum. Far simpler and primal qualities will aid him in his pursuit and attaining a position in the pantheon of the super-successful. To succeed on the treacherous path of business, the model entrepreneur embarks on a journey of self-discovery and never stops. He also composes and perfects a strategy that is essential to accomplishing his mission. Based on firsthand knowledge and practical experience, in this book, we follow the model entrepreneur from his youth all the way to his twilight years. Along the way, we witness a remarkable journey as we watch the making of an exceptional individual and an extraordinary accomplishment. We observe that, while still in his twenties, he impresses the onlookers with his prolific ideas and practical solutions. In his thirties, he dazzles his investors and benefactors with his strategic genius and business savvy. He reaches his forties only to astound his rivals and admirers alike by devising and executing brilliant expansionary plans and showcasing organizational and managerial expertise. He reaches his fifties and demonstrates exceptional leadership qualities, in addition to an exemplary vision reborn and a strategy refined. He is still breaking molds, but now he also has become an icon. We are still with him as he moves into the next phases of his illustrious life, passes the torch, and shares the wealth and power he has accumulated. This book is a chronicle of the model entrepreneur at his best. It is also an inspiration to those who want to follow in his footsteps and become the next business titan.
Download or read book Born to Build written by Jim Clifton and published by Gallup Press. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People will ask you throughout your life, “Where do you work?” and “What do you do?” They never ask you, “What are you building?” When conversations change to “What are you building?” the world will change. Written for anyone trying to figure out how to make the most of their lives, Born to Build seeks to inspire entrepreneurs and ambitious, self-motivated people to build something that will change the world. A builder’s venture could be a small business that grows into a mammoth enterprise, a thriving new division in an existing company, a nonprofit, a social enterprise, a church, a school — anything that creates economic growth and makes a lasting impact on society. Born to Build is written by Gallup Chairman and CEO Jim Clifton and Sangeeta Badal, Ph.D., Principal Scientist for Gallup’s Entrepreneurship and Job Creation initiative, and is grounded in years of research. This book goes beyond the conventional economics-based business training and instead offers a uniquely psychological approach to venture building. It gives readers the tools and techniques they need to understand who they are, what motivates them and what they can build — and how. By following the practical steps in Born to Build, readers will have the tools to build a sustainable and profitable venture of any size from scratch. Central to the book is a code that allows readers to take Gallup’s Builder Profile 10 (BP10) assessment, which identifies their innate talents and motivations and shows them how to make the most of their talents to build a successful enterprise.

Download or read book Smart People Should Build Things written by Andrew Yang and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Yang, the founder of Venture for America, offers a unique solution to our country’s economic and social problems—our smart people should be building things. Smart People Should Build Things offers a stark picture of the current culture and a revolutionary model that will redirect a generation of ambitious young people to the critical job of innovating and building new businesses. As the Founder and CEO of Venture for America, Andrew Yang places top college graduates in start-ups for two years in emerging U.S. cities to generate job growth and train the next generation of entrepreneurs. He knows firsthand how our current view of education is broken. Many college graduates aspire to finance, consulting, law school, grad school, or medical school out of a vague desire for additional status and progress rather than from a genuine passion or fit. In Smart People Should Build Things, this self-described “recovering lawyer” and entrepreneur weaves together a compelling narrative of success stories (including his own), offering observations about the flow of talent in the United States and explanations of why current trends are leading to economic distress and cultural decline. He also presents recommendations for both policy makers and job seekers to make entrepreneurship more realistic and achievable.

Download or read book Behaviorally Smart Entrepreneurship Mastering Your Entrepreneurial Style written by Hugh Massie and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are entrepreneurs born or made? DNA Behavior International's extensive research from recent academic research and studies supports similar findings that a person is born with entrepreneurial genes. However, being genetically predisposed towards entrepreneurialism doesn't guarantee that an individual will become an entrepreneur and then whether they will succeed. Our findings have determined that it is not just enough to be born with the entrepreneurial gene, people must do something with it. At the age of ten, Sir Richard Branson began his entrepreneurial life selling Christmas Trees. The venture failed, but he kept going. "Starting young is good, you can either learn through failing, like I did, or you can learn by being successful."We further concur with the research and studies, that all entrepreneurs have similar characteristics. Their minds are genetically wired in the same way. In other words, they tend to depart from established patterns of thinking. Their resilience and appetite for risk are inherent qualities. Therefore, we have concluded that entrepreneurs are born, not made. Entrepreneurial success will require knowing who you innately are at the core and having the ability and confidence to appropriately use your natural talents every day through the journey of your business life. The more conscious you are of your inner self, the greater your chances of success are.This paper seeks to support our research findings using our independently validated Business DNA Discovery Process. We offer statistical data, gathered from 250 successful individuals who own and operate a business with a turnover of more than US$1 million per year. These people have completed our Business DNA(r) Discovery Process which has been independently validated and had more than 1 million users in the last 15 years.The Business DNA research concludes that entrepreneurs have the following "genes" in descending order of dominance:1. Resilience (Measured by the Fast-Paced trait) - they achieve results, manage setbacks and rationally take quick action.2. Risk Taker (Measured by the Risk trait) - confidently take risks and tolerant of losses.3. Creativity (Measured by the Creative trait) - innovative with ideas and seeks to differentiate.4. Work Ethic and Focus (Measured by the Pioneering trait) - pursues goals and is often ambitious and competitive.5. Charisma (Measured by the Outgoing trait) - outgoing, connects with a lot of people and influences people to follow them.Our purpose is to empower people with practical insights about who they are so they can utilize their talents for unlocking potential and living with meaning. With both the use of case studies and the completion of validated Business DNA Natural Behavior Discovery Processes, we demonstrate how to accept the entrepreneurial genes you have, and the importance of doing something with them. Entrepreneurial success begins with addressing the following five (5) key areas: -1. Self-awareness - having a clear understanding of your entrepreneurial character, personality, strengths, limitations, motivation and emotional intelligence. 2. Finding a passion - having a purpose, a dream and a determination to pursue it relentlessly.3. Making sure the world is ready for your business idea - research, research, research.4. Ensuring you are ready - know the risk involved; be clear on the financial investment required; understand the impact on work-life balance.5. Hiring the right people - you won't have all the behavioral talents and skills required to bring your idea to market.Our research provokes people to think more deeply about their entrepreneurial genes and the essential success factors. If, after reading this booklet, you sense that you have these qualities, yet have suppressed them, or not fully understood the characteristics and how they fit with your personality, it's time to learn more.

Book excerpt: Dominic Haas's story is not just about business acumen; it's a narrative of resilience, innovation, and global impact. Born under the crisp, autumn skies of Frauenfeld, Switzerland on October 23, 1999, Dominic's journey from a small Swiss town to the bustling metropolis of Dubai is a testament to his relentless pursuit of entrepreneurial excellence. At the tender age of 19, when most youngsters are navigating the complexities of early adulthood, Dominic embarked on his first venture into the world of e-commerce. This early foray into business was just a glimpse of the remarkable trajectory that lay ahead. When the world grappled with the unforeseen challenges of COVID-19, Dominic's foresight and adaptability shone brightly. He adeptly navigated the turbulent waters of the pandemic, providing crucial equipment like COVID-tests to governments, demonstrating his ability to turn challenges into opportunities. His entrepreneurial spirit didn't stop there. During the same period, he ventured into the construction sector, establishing a company that he would later successfully sell by the end of 2023. However, it was in May 2022, amid the echoes of a global crisis, that Dominic, along with his close friend Fabio Martinetti, laid the cornerstone for what would be a defining venture - LEGACY Network AG, based in Liechtenstein. Today, Dominic's portfolio spans five companies across four different countries, a remarkable feat that underscores his strategic foresight and global outlook. Beyond his business ventures, he has carved a niche as a savvy real estate and crypto investor, staying ahead of the curve in fast-evolving markets. Dominic Haas isn't just an entrepreneur; he's a visionary who bridges continents and industries, turning every challenge into a stepping stone towards greater success.
