Can you spot entrepreneurial traits in yourself or in your children? In this episode, Dan Sullivan reveals the telltale signs of a true entrepreneur, from early money-making initiatives to a deep craving for freedom. Learn why credentials pale in comparison to creative shortcuts and why results (not methods) are what set entrepreneurs apart in every stage of life and business.
Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:
Show Notes:
Many entrepreneurs show entrepreneurial instincts as early as age 10 or even younger.
A key early sign is wanting to control your own money-making, even before adulthood.
Entrepreneurs often find working for others unfulfilling once they realize their earning potential is directly tied to their ambitions.
The money an entrepreneur makes is just a function of their ambitions, skills, and usefulness.
There’s no single personality type or special skill that makes someone an entrepreneur.
Freedom is always more important to entrepreneurs than security.
The true reward for entrepreneurism isn’t money itself but the freedom it provides.
It’s commonly believed that advanced degrees or credentials are needed for business, but many entrepreneurs prove otherwise.
Entrepreneurs are always creating shortcuts for themselves and getting paid for creating shortcuts for others.
Entrepreneurs live in a world where the only thing that matters is results, not the methods used to achieve them.
