Expand Your Mind: About Entrepreneurs

Post from: MAPpingCompanySuccess

This is the Year of the Entrepreneur; no matter what media you follow you can’t avoid them.

What makes an entrepreneur and what basics are necessary to performing as one?

For a good overview take a look at Penelope Trunk’s views in Inc. on who is and who isn’t an entrepreneur.

Martin Zwilling’s article at Business Insider detailing seven keys to identifying the “ideal mental age” of an entrepreneur should make you think twice.

Especially in light of the statistical information that shows that the greatest number of entrepreneurs are older, this certainly doesn’t fit the popular image of the kid in her dorm room.

One of the most difficult efforts for any entrepreneur looking to ensure success is establishing the company’s culture. In another commentary at Forbes Zwilling offers up a six point list of what’s necessary to create a good culture. He may have aimed it at entrepreneurs, but it’s applicable for any company.

Enjoy!
