Much More than a Business
Successful entrepreneurs are great at creating profitable businesses. Mark Cuban built several companies to gain the experience that he has today. It took years. But during those years, he learned the dynamics of creating a successful organization. That knowledge, combined with passion for what he was doing and a desire to make a lot of money, got him where he is today.
I read a new blog by Mark Cuban today. And it really hit home. It's about how owning the Dallas Mavericks is different from owning any other business. Specifically, he describes that his primary motivation isn't making money, it's about the impact that the Dallas Mavericks has on the community.
Its cool to read about his motives behind the Mavs. Its also cool to see someone use their leverage the way he is with the Mavs. He doesn't just see this professional sports team as a paycheck, he sees it as an opportunity to have a huge, positive impact the community (and make some money on the side).
This blog captures a couple key qualities a great entrepreneur. And it helps me see that we are doing something right with the culture that we build at of GoNextWorld. Although everyone is different, true entrepreneurs are simply passionate, action-oriented people who have a business building background. They've gained that background through a ton of successes and failures over a long period of time. They've learned the dynamics of creating a successful organization. They don't mind the time it takes to gain that background. They love what we do because the are passionate about it.
We understand these facts, incorporate them into daily practices, and live by them.
