RadheI am quite certain that I have said it before, but I’ll say it anyway: I think a lot of entrepreneurs are roused by the prospect of starting on their own. Entrepreneurs who have the ability to do their own thing on a scale greater than the typical “company”, and who can work themselves to the ground, are bound to come up with something amazing.
This is a great example of this. In the last three years I’ve attended over 70 startup dinners (and only once did I actually go to one of them). And the reason why is because the entrepreneurs are roused by the prospect of starting their own business on a scale greater than the typical company. They come away with the notion that the things they do aren’t simply the right tool for the job, but are the right thing to do.
Entrepreneurs are often the kinds of people who are passionate about and interested in their work because of what it will do for them. These types of people often come up with the most brilliant ideas in the midst of a busy day. That’s why they are excited about starting their own company. And while there is certainly no shortage of brilliant startups in the world, there is a large group of entrepreneurs who are so passionate about their work that they go to extreme lengths to do so.
I’m referring to the people who are so passionate about their work they go to extreme lengths to do it. This is true of some entrepreneurs in any field. I’m referring to those people who are so passionate that they take extreme measures to accomplish a goal, or who work their asses off to achieve something that their passion demands.
That is one of the many reasons some of the most successful entrepreneurs I know are people who have a strong sense of what they want to accomplish. The other reason is that they’ve worked very hard to create a passion for it. And that passion is what helps them be successful.
Not all entrepreneurs I’d say are “passionate”. But you’ve got to be passionate about something to work at it, especially if you want to be successful at it, and if you are passionate about it, you will want to work very hard to accomplish it.
Entrepreneurs need to have a strong sense of how they want their product to be perceived by potential customers. This is a matter of perspective. You might think that a successful company like Apple is a product that people love, or that the success of Apple is a function of how much people love the product. Or that a successful CEO is someone who inspires people to want to work for him. Or that being a successful musician is a function of how much people love music.
Not all of the time, but when it comes to products or people, the perception of the company is a very important factor. For example, Apple is perceived as being very “open” and transparent about its products and how they’re sold.
Apple is not a company that inspires people to want to work there because the perception is that it’s a very closed, secretive place. Because their products are very expensive and the media and public know about it, they get the idea that there is no room to be creative and innovative and that all you can do is sit back and let others take care of you.
That may be true, but when you look at Apple’s history, it has always been a company that has done things in the industry that are unconventional and out of the box. Take the iPod. When Apple first launched its first iPod, it had a very unconventional approach to the device. It was a very small device, but it was still the first iPod on the market. It took some time to figure out how to make it work, but once it became a commercial success everyone wanted one.
