7 Things About Great Entrepreneurs

7 things I've noticed about amazing entrepreneurs that I've had the honor to work with:

1. They have a remarkable knack of finding fitting talent. Not only that, they sell their vision so convincingly that top-billed people jump aboard even if that means pay cuts in the short run.

‍

2. Their knowledge base is on an exponential incline. Not just deep insights on their customer, but their avid consumption of books, podcasts & content shows in their everyday speech.

‍

3. They're incredibly perceptive. Every time I show a test build, proposal or prototype to them, they somehow X-ray the deliverable & naturally gravitate to the few flaws I left behind.

‍

4. During sales, their discovery process is clinical. Once they've learned enough about their prospect, they'll fire a wonderfully tailored pitch that's hard to fend off. Either the prospect buckles or plays the ego card.

‍

5. When times are good, they search for ways to double down & keep ramping up. They're thinking of multipliers.

‍

6. When times are bad, they MacGyver their way out of a tight spot by leveraging their network, making quick pivots and persevering.

‍

7. They have BS radars pre-installed. They'll call you out even before you complete the sentence.
