If you’ve ever wondered if you should start a business or if you’ve really got what it takes to be an entrepreneur, today’s powerful episode with Gino Wickman will definitively answer that question for you.
Gino is a lifelong entrepreneur, starting in business at the age of 21. When he was 25, he took over the family business which at the time was deep in debt and in desperate need of help. After turning the company around and running it for 7 years, he and his partner successfully sold the company.
Since then, Gino created EOS®, his Entrepreneurial Operating System for helping companies achieve greatness. He has personally delivered more than 1,800 full day sessions for more than 130 companies, helping them implement EOS®.
Gino is also the bestselling author of multiple books including “Traction” and the new book “Entrepreneurial Leap: Do You Have What it Takes to Become an Entrepreneur?”
We discuss:
- The nature vs. nurture debate for entrepreneurial success
- How entrepreneurs are like baseball players
- Why sacrificing your health for business isn’t a good trade
- Where to put yourself on the entrepreneurial spectrum
- Measuring your entrepreneurial traits (do you really have what it takes?)
And so much more.
Gino’s story will inspire you, encourage you, and pull you even closer to living the life you were born to live ... don't miss it.
